- The Hyundai Motor Company promoted the Santa Fe sport utility vechicle as a SUV for "fantastic journeys" in a series of 2006 Waldo print advertisements. The ads focused on the idea of being able to "escape the crowds", as Waldo was featured in a detailed senic spread, yet unlike the scenes in the Waldo books, he is finally far away from the crowds. The set of three newspaper advertisements, developed and first published in South Africa, features Waldo (and his Santa Fe) alone in the mountains of Tibet, the rain forest of the Amazon and the Kalahari Desert.

The Where’s Waldo? ad campaign was developed at The Jupiter Drawing Room, Capetown, by creative director Livio Tronchin, art director Jamie Mietz and copywriter Khaya Dlanga.

The Santa Fe was a milestone in the company's restructuring program of the late 1990s because, despite receiving criticism from journalists for its obscure looks, the SUV was a hit with the American buyers. The SUV was so popular that at times, Hyundai had trouble supplying the demand. The Santa Fe quickly became Hyundai's best seller and contributed to Hyundai's success in the United States. As of 2007, the mid-size crossover SUV Santa Fe falls between the compact SUV Tucson and the related luxury crossover SUV Veracruz (which was preceded by the Terracan). The 2nd Gen Hyundai Santa Fe was awarded 2008 Consumer Reports "top pick" and was among the top 10 vehicles for 2008 unveiled in the magazine's issue. The magazine's annual ratings, based on road tests and predicted safety and reliability, are considered highly influential among consumers. The 2nd Gen Hyundai Santa Fe topped the “20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure” list by Insure.com. According to research, the Santa Fe is the least expensive vehicle to insure. Low rates tend to reflect a vehicle’s safety.
