How much does the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 8.62% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,473 listings available, which suggests solid inventory availability.

If you find a listing below $31,465.70, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Technology.

The 2024 Santa Fe stands out for its fully redesigned look, longer wheelbase, standard third-row seats, and premium-feeling cabin. It also brings a strong technology focus and multiple powertrain options, which gives you flexibility if you want a family SUV that feels more distinctive than average.

The trade-offs are clear: the third row is cramped, performance is pedestrian, and top trims get expensive.

The model’s 33.2% good-or-great-deal share suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2024 Santa Fe is presented as a thoroughly redesigned SUV with standard advanced safety and driver-assistance features, which supports confidence in day-to-day use. Its first-year redesign status means you should still pay close attention to build quality, feature operation, and service history when shopping used.

The powertrain is described as smooth and mostly stable, with few misses in acceleration, throttle response, or shifting, which is a good sign for everyday dependability. If you’re buying used, the main long-term risk is making sure the vehicle’s new-for-2024 systems and features have been well maintained and work as intended.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially because this is a redesigned model year with a lot of new hardware and technology. Focus on how the cabin features, driver-assistance systems, and powertrain behave in real-world use, and make sure the vehicle’s condition matches its asking price.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SE includes a long list of standard safety features, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience equipment. The XRT adds dark exterior treatment and all-wheel drive, and the Limited and Calligraphy versions bring more upscale wheels and cabin touches.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, rated at 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is optional on most trims, and the XRT gets all-wheel drive standard.
• Safety package: Hyundai’s driver-assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision-avoidance assist, intersection assist, pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-following assist, driver-attention monitoring, and a rear-occupant reminder system. Higher trims add features such as a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot view monitor, parking sensors, remote automatic parking, and upgraded collision-avoidance tech.
• Infotainment: The cabin centers on a curved panoramic display on XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto come standard, along with a 12-speaker Bose stereo, dynamic voice recognition, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and six USB ports on those trims. SE and SEL use a simpler 12.3-inch touchscreen.
• Fuel efficiency: The base front-wheel-drive model is rated at 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. All-wheel drive drops that to 20/28/23, and the XRT is rated at 19/26/22. The hybrid is rated at 36 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 36 mpg combined with front-wheel drive.

Which 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in 5 trim levels: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, Calligraphy.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the value starting point, and it already gives you a strong safety suite plus the core Santa Fe redesign. If you want the lowest entry price and can live without the extra comfort and tech upgrades, this is the trim to start with.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim. For a modest step up, you get synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, the curved panoramic display, a wireless smartphone charger, and an upgraded rear occupant alert system.
• XRT: Choose this if you want the more rugged look and the off-road-oriented hardware. It adds dark exterior trim, all-wheel drive, off-road modes, extra ground clearance, and all-terrain tires.
• Limited: This is the right pick if you want a more upscale family SUV. It adds a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot view monitor, rain-sensing wipers, parking sensors, reverse parking collision assist, remote automatic parking, and a sanitizing compartment in the glovebox.
• Calligraphy: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with a widescreen head-up display and upgraded blind-spot and forward collision-avoidance systems. It’s the most premium version, but it also pushes the price into expensive territory.

The safety package is especially strong across the lineup, with most advanced driver-assistance features standard from the base trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,473 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.62% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,465.70, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

The current average of $31,451 sits slightly below last year's $34,419.

That softer pricing can help you buy more affordably now, but it also means future resale values may reflect a market that has already adjusted downward. If you plan to sell later, the Santa Fe’s broad appeal, strong equipment list, and distinctive redesign should help it stay relevant with shoppers.

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

Is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Hyundai equips the Santa Fe with a broad standard safety suite, starting with a reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, forward collision-avoidance assist, intersection assist, pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic emergency braking, safe-exit assist, lane-keep assist, lane-following assist, driver-attention monitoring, and a rear-occupant reminder system.

The SEL adds an upgraded rear-occupant reminder system, forward-attention warning, and side-view mirrors with turn signals. The XRT adds Hyundai’s highway limited hands-free driving system. The Limited adds a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot view monitor, rain-sensing windshield wipers, parking sensors, reverse parking collision assist, remote automatic parking, and a sanitizing compartment in the glovebox. The Calligraphy adds a widescreen head-up display and upgraded blind-spot and forward collision-avoidance systems.

The Santa Fe also includes driver monitoring across the lineup, using an infrared camera and steering-wheel sensors to track alertness and hand placement. That gives you an extra layer of protection if you’re shopping for a family SUV with a heavy emphasis on standard safety tech.

Should I buy a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.62% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesign brings a longer wheelbase, standard third-row seats, and a strong technology focus.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $24,894, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $31,451 average.
• It emphasizes value, standard safety, and easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $33,231, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $31,451 average.
• It builds on the bold design with more interior space and added family-friendly features.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest design, standard third-row seating, and a more premium-feeling cabin, the 2024 is the one to target. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the smarter value play, while the 2025 makes sense if you want to spend a bit more for the latest version of the redesign.
