How much does the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 8.65% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,357 listings available, which suggests you should have a solid range of choices.

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 redesign gives you a bold, blocky look, a longer wheelbase, standard third-row seating, and a more premium-feeling cabin. It is especially appealing if you want a family SUV that leans into style and tech rather than a conventional shape.

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

37.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

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

The Santa Fe’s redesign emphasizes substance as well as style, with a longer wheelbase, standard third-row seating, and a premium-feeling cabin. Its expert evaluation also points to a well-rounded package rather than a single standout gimmick, which is a good sign for everyday dependability.

The powertrain is a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, and the model’s driving modes and chassis tuning are described as smooth and mostly stable. That said, body roll is noticeable, so you should expect a comfort-first setup rather than a sporty one.

Hyundai also includes driver monitoring across the lineup, which adds another layer of everyday reassurance. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about whether the vehicle’s many features have been maintained and are still working properly.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-trim examples with more equipment to verify. Focus on condition, feature operation, and signs of wear in the cabin and around the third row, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on its added space and technology.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE starts with a reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, forward collision-avoidance assist, 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 more convenience and safety equipment, with the SEL bringing an upgraded rear-occupant reminder system and the Limited and Calligraphy adding more advanced camera and parking tech.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. FWD is standard, AWD is optional, and the XRT gets AWD standard. A hybrid with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed automatic is also mentioned, with estimated combined output of 231 hp and 271 lb-ft.
• Safety package: Hyundai’s standard safety 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, safe-exit assist, lane-keep assist, lane-following assist, driver-attention monitoring, and a rear-occupant reminder system. The XRT adds highway limited hands-free driving, while the Limited and Calligraphy add more advanced camera and parking features.
• Infotainment: The cabin centers on a curved panoramic display in XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across the lineup, and the system also includes a 12-speaker Bose stereo, dynamic voice recognition, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and six USB ports. The SE and SEL use a simpler 12.3-inch touchscreen with four USB ports.
• Fuel efficiency: The base FWD model is rated at 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. AWD drops that to 20/28/23, and the XRT is rated at 19/26/22. The hybrid is rated at 36/35/36 with FWD and 35/34/34 with AWD.

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 entry point, but it still brings a strong safety and tech foundation, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping features, blind-spot monitoring, and wireless smartphone integration. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the redesign and do not need the extra comfort and display upgrades.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim. For a relatively 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 that senses occupants.
• XRT: Choose this if you want the more rugged look and the off-road-oriented hardware. It adds dark exterior trim, AWD standard, off-road modes, and Hyundai’s highway limited hands-free driving system.
• Limited: This trim is the sweet spot 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 the most premium presentation, including a widescreen head-up display and upgraded blind-spot and forward collision avoidance systems. It is the most lavish option, but it is also the easiest trim to overpay for.

The base SE gets the core safety suite, while the XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy add more specialized equipment.

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

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

• Deal availability: 37.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,357 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.65% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,162, 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 $31,162 sits slightly below last year's $34,114.

That softer pricing suggests the market has moved in buyers’ favor, which can make the Santa Fe easier to shop now than it may have been a year ago. For a future seller, that also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, and how well the vehicle’s features have been kept up.

Higher-spec versions may still attract interest because the redesign and technology are major selling points. But if you buy too far up the trim ladder, you may not recover as much of that extra cost later.

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?

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe has not yet been crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

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

Hyundai makes a strong safety case by loading the Santa Fe with standard driver-assistance features across the lineup. The base SE includes 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 with hands-off alert, 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, while the Limited adds a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot view monitor, parking sensors, reverse parking collision assist, and remote automatic parking. The Calligraphy adds a widescreen head-up display and upgraded blind-spot and forward collision avoidance systems.

One caveat is that the traffic-sign recognition system occasionally misread state route signs during testing, so you should not treat every alert as perfect.

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:

• 37.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.65% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesign brings a bold new look, standard third-row seating, and a more premium-feeling cabin.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $24,666, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $31,162 average.
• It delivers strong value with standard safety features and user-friendly technology.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $32,859, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $31,162 average.
• It adds more interior space and a bolder three-row design.

The bottom line: If you want the newest styling, standard third-row seating, and the strongest mix of tech and safety, the 2024 is the one to target. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the better value play, while the 2025 makes sense if you want the latest design direction and can spend more.
