How much does the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 8.42% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,375 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare trims and condition levels.

If you find a listing below $31,695.69, 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 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 stands out because it is fully redesigned, with a bold, blocky profile, a longer wheelbase, standard third-row seats, and a “terrace” approach to passenger and cargo space. It also leans hard into technology, with a cabin that is meant to feel premium and distinctive rather than conventional.

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

For you, that means the Santa Fe makes the most sense if you want a family SUV that feels fresh, feature-rich, and more upscale than typical mainstream rivals. 29.6% 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 premium amenities that suggest a well-developed package. Its technology and safety systems are also broadly standard across the lineup, which usually helps ownership feel more complete from day one.

The performance notes are generally reassuring: the turbocharged four-cylinder and dual-clutch automatic are described as smooth and mostly stable, with few misses in normal driving. The main caution for used buyers is that the model is new enough that you should pay close attention to condition, service history, and how well the electronics and driver-assistance features operate.

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 history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or a trim with more equipment. Focus on the condition of the cabin electronics, driver-assistance systems, and any signs that the vehicle has seen hard family use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE starts with a strong safety and tech baseline, while the XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy add more premium or specialized equipment. The base trim leaves out some of the richer cabin and convenience features you may want.
• Powertrain: The gas model uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, and AWD is optional on most trims. The XRT gets AWD standard, and the hybrid powertrain is mentioned as a later addition.
• Safety package: Hyundai’s driver-assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision-avoidance assist, intersection assist, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-following assist, driver-attention monitoring, and more. The XRT adds highway limited hands-free driving, while Limited and Calligraphy add more advanced camera and parking features.
• Infotainment: Higher trims get a curved panoramic display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, a 12-speaker Bose stereo, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. SE and SEL use a simpler 12.3-inch touchscreen, and the base trim has fewer USB ports.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas model is rated at 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined with FWD, 20/28/23 with AWD, and 19/26/22 for the XRT. 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 long list of standard safety features and the redesigned Santa Fe’s core appeal. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the new body style and can live without the richer cabin upgrades.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim. For a modest step up, it 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.
• XRT: Choose this if you want the more rugged-looking version with AWD standard, off-road modes, and extra ground clearance. It also adds Hyundai’s highway limited hands-free driving system.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the most useful comfort and parking upgrades, including the 360-degree camera system, blind-spot view monitor, parking sensors, reverse parking collision assist, and remote automatic parking.
• Calligraphy: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with a widescreen head-up display and upgraded blind-spot and forward collision avoidance systems. It is the most expensive route, so it makes sense mainly if you want the most upscale Santa Fe experience.

The XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims feel extra decadent thanks to the panoramic display and richer equipment, while the SE and SEL stay more straightforward.

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

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,375 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.42% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,695.69, 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 $31,684 sits slightly below last year's $34,599.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you better entry pricing now, but it also means future resale will depend heavily on how well the vehicle holds demand after purchase. If you buy well and keep the Santa Fe in strong condition, you should be better positioned when it is time to sell.

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 has not yet been crash-tested by IIHS or NHTSA.

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

Hyundai equips the Santa Fe with a broad standard safety suite, starting with 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. Limited and Calligraphy bring additional camera, parking, and collision-avoidance upgrades, with Calligraphy adding a widescreen head-up display.

One notable strength is that driver monitoring is standard across the lineup, using an infrared camera and steering-wheel sensors to track attention 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:

• 29.6% 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 8.42% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 is fully redesigned with a bold new look, standard third-row seating, and a strong technology focus.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $25,024, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $31,684 average.
• It emphasizes value, standard safety, and easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $33,467, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $31,684 average.
• It leans even harder into bold styling and added interior space.

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