How much does the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 8.95% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,427 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 8.17/10. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Technology.

The 2024 Santa Fe’s full redesign gives you a bold, blocky look, a longer wheelbase, standard third-row seating, and a more premium-feeling cabin. It also brings a strong technology package and a successful overall redesign that aims to add substance, not just style.

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

For you, that means the Santa Fe makes the most sense if you want a distinctive family SUV with lots of features and a practical layout, rather than a sporty or especially spacious three-row.

36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which is a decent sign that value opportunities are out there.

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 well-rounded redesign with a strong feature set and a successful overall package. Its standard equipment and broad trim strategy suggest Hyundai built it to appeal to shoppers who want substance and convenience in a family SUV.

The performance notes also point to a smooth, mostly stable driving experience, with few misses in acceleration, throttle response, or shifting. That said, body roll is noticeable through turns, so you should expect comfort and composure more than athleticism.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term ownership risk is that higher-trim complexity and premium features can raise repair and upkeep exposure over time.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re looking at a higher-trim example with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the features you care about are working as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SE gives you a strong safety and tech foundation, while the SEL adds 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. The SEL is the best-value choice if you want the biggest jump in everyday comfort and convenience.
• 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, and the XRT gets all-wheel drive standard.
• Safety package: The base SE includes a reversing camera, stop-and-go 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 XRT adds Hyundai’s highway limited hands-free driving system, while the Limited and Calligraphy bring additional camera and parking aids.
• Infotainment: The cabin centers on a curved panoramic display in XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. The system includes wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, a 12-speaker Bose stereo, dynamic voice recognition, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and six USB ports. The SE and SEL use a simpler 12.3-inch touchscreen setup.
• Fuel efficiency: FWD base versions are rated at 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. AWD versions are rated at 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 FWD, or 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 gives you a long list of standard safety features and the core Santa Fe redesign. If you want the lowest-cost way into the model, this is the starting point.
• 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-looking version with dark exterior trim, standard all-wheel drive, off-road modes, and Hyundai’s highway limited hands-free driving system.
• Limited: This trim 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.
• Calligraphy: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with a widescreen head-up display and upgraded blind-spot and forward collision avoidance systems, but it’s the most expensive path.

The base SE includes a broad safety suite, while the XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy add more advanced equipment as you move up.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,427 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.95% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,261, 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 $31,261 sits slightly below last year's $34,333.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to help you buy more selectively today. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more heavily on trim, condition, and mileage than on broad market momentum.

If you buy well now and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you’ll be better positioned when it’s time to sell. Higher-demand trims and clean history examples should hold up better than heavily optioned versions that push into expensive territory.

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 or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

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

The base SE trim includes a reversing camera, stop-and-go 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. The Limited adds a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot view monitor, rain-sensing windshield wipers, front, rear, and side 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.

One notable strength is that driver monitoring is included across the lineup, using an infrared camera and steering-wheel sensors to track alertness and hand placement.

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:

• 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.95% 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 stronger technology package.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $24,793, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $31,261 average.
• It delivers class-leading value with standard safety features and easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $33,013, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $31,261 average.
• It adds more interior space and a bolder family-focused design.

The bottom line: buy the 2024 if you want the redesigned Santa Fe’s style, tech, and standard third row, especially if you find a clean example near the low end of the price range. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the better value play.
