How much does the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices are up 2.54% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 5,222 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare trims and condition. If you find a listing below $23,346.72, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe earns a 4.88/5 user rating, and our experts give it an 8.17/10 overall score. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, advanced features, and strong value, and many also like the luxury-SUV feel created by the technology and safety equipment. The expert review backs that up with class-leading value, standard safety features, and easy-to-live-with tech. The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the lack of an N-Line performance variant.

For your use case, this is a practical midsize two-row SUV that leans toward affordability, everyday usability, and peace of mind rather than flash. 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

Owners rate it 4.88/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. User feedback also points to comfort, value, and a generally trouble-free ownership experience, with many drivers describing it as dependable and enjoyable to live with over time.

The expert review adds that Hyundai backs the Santa Fe with an industry-leading warranty, and the model’s value-focused setup supports confidence for long-term ownership. The powertrain and ride are described as smooth and clean in operation, which reinforces the sense that this is built to be easy to count on.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure a well-equipped example has been maintained properly, especially if you want the turbocharged version or higher-mileage AWD model.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a vehicle-specific check. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you are considering a higher-trim or turbocharged example, and pay close attention to wear items, electronics, and overall condition. If you want the best value, compare trim equipment carefully so you do not overpay for features you will not use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE is the most basic version, with an 8-inch touchscreen and a simpler gauge display, while higher trims add a larger touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, and more premium cabin materials. The Limited and Calligraphy also bring more upscale lighting, audio, and comfort features.
• Powertrain: The SE, SEL, and XRT use a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, while the Limited and Calligraphy upgrade to a turbocharged version with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet. FWD is standard and AWD is optional across the lineup.
• Safety package: Standard driver assistance includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction-turning detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, driver monitoring, a safe-exit system, and a rear-seat reminder system. Highway Driving Assist comes standard on SEL and above.
• Infotainment: The base SE gets an 8-inch display audio system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other trims move to a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and traffic information, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, digital key, and Bluelink connected services. Limited and Calligraphy add a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The non-turbo FWD version returns 26 mpg combined, while the AWD version gets 24 mpg combined. The turbo FWD version delivers 25 mpg combined, and the turbo AWD version gets 24 mpg combined.

Which 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in 5 trim levels: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the value entry point, and it already gives you a lot for the money, including LED headlights, an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a broad set of standard driver-assistance features. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the larger screens and extra comfort features.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a 10.25-inch navigation system, wireless device charging, and push-button start without pushing the price into luxury territory. If you want the sweet spot between price and equipment, this is the one to target.
• XRT: This trim is for you if you want a tougher-looking Santa Fe with dark exterior details, unique wheels, black roof rails, side steps, and H-Tex seating surfaces. It is more about appearance and character than major mechanical upgrades.
• Limited: This is the trim to choose if you want the turbocharged engine, leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, a heated steering wheel, cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, and Harman Kardon audio. It is the best fit if you want the strongest mix of performance and premium features.
• Calligraphy: This is the most upscale version, with quilted Nappa leather, ambient lighting, a head-up display, premium exterior touches, and a hands-free smart liftgate. It suits you if you want the most luxurious Santa Fe experience and are willing to pay for it.

Highway Driving Assist comes standard on SEL and above, so that trim level is the key safety step up if you want more driver-assistance capability.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without waiting forever for a deal.

• Deal availability: 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,222 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.54% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 89.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,346.72, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

The current average of $24,894 sits slightly above last year's $24,277.

That modest increase suggests the Santa Fe has held value reasonably well for a mainstream midsize SUV. For a future seller, that kind of steady pricing can be helpful because it points to consistent buyer interest rather than sharp depreciation. The model’s strong value reputation and broad appeal should continue to support demand, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.88/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe received the highest-possible five-star overall rating from NHTSA, and IIHS gave it Top Safety Pick+ recognition.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction-turning detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, driver monitoring, a safe-exit system, and a rear-seat reminder system. Highway Driving Assist comes standard on SEL and above, adding adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability.

The safety story is especially strong if you want a family-friendly SUV with a long list of standard driver aids. The lower trims do miss some of the more premium touches found higher up the lineup, but the core safety package is already extensive.

Should I buy a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.54% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the value-focused, safety-first formula while adding a bit more horsepower to the base engine.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $21,738, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $24,894 average.
• It adds a new plug-in hybrid option and expands the XRT trim.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $31,451, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $24,894 average.
• It brings a full redesign with bolder styling, standard third-row seating, and more premium amenities.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, standard safety, and easy-to-use tech, the 2023 is the primary pick. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2022 can save you money while still delivering the Santa Fe’s core strengths. If you want a more dramatic redesign and can spend more, the 2024 is the step up to consider.
