Hyundai Santa Fe (2000-2004)
With the introduction of the Hyundai Santa Fe in March 2001, the Korean automaker for the first time tried to break into the field of " sporting purpose vehicles " (SUVs ) foot. But this was not successful really, possibly due to the time of his or unusual body design. Quite different in the U.S., where demand for the Hyundai Santa Fe was especially great just because of its design, so that it became a bestseller of Hyundai 's lineup immediately and it came to long delivery times. Especially the model Santa Fe was on the American market helps us to enforce the brand. In Russia, the Santa Fe has been produced since 2005 by the Taganrog Awtomobilny Zavod.
Since 2007, the model now there carries the model name Santa Fe Classic. In mainland China, the Santa Fe will also continue to be assembled and is marketed under the brand name of Beijing- Hyundai.

Technology

The all-wheel drive was until the end of 2005 a purely mechanically controlled system. A viscous coupling distributed depending on the slip the drive forces between the front (VA) and rear axle ( HA). Standard 60 % VA were 40 % HA, at slip up. 10% VA and 90 % HA. In place of the viscous coupling used came from the Facelift 2005 ( the diesel VGT, 2006 with a gasoline engine ), an electronically controlled system with solenoid-operated multi-plate clutch ( "Interactive Torque Management" ). This was ( depending on the market ) a variable power distribution for each wheel possible in combination with the anti- slip control. When driving on the road, the system directs the entire driving force to the front wheels. Only in the case of rotating the front wheels, the rear wheels are supplied with driving power.
Traction control was depending on the market available for different engine variants. An ESP was never offered, ABS was, however, in most European countries series.
