How much does the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 10.39% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,413 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Technology.

The redesign gives you a bold, blocky SUV with a longer wheelbase and a more substantial feel, plus a “terrace” approach to passenger and cargo space. It also brings impressive technology and multiple powertrain options, which makes it appealing if you want a modern family SUV with a distinctive design.

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

Good and great deals account for 37.9% of listings, so there are still some attractive 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 Santa Fe is presented as a well-equipped, practical family SUV with a strong emphasis on standard safety and technology. Hyundai’s own materials also frame it as a substantial redesign with a longer wheelbase and a more premium-feeling cabin, which supports the idea that it was built to be a durable everyday vehicle.

Its powertrain is described as smooth and mostly stable, with few misses in acceleration, throttle response, or shifting. That said, the body roll and pedestrian performance mean you should expect comfort and utility more than excitement.

If you plan to keep it long term, the main ownership risk is that higher trims can be costly, so value depends heavily on the configuration you choose.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully and prioritize a thorough inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or a top trim. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the features you want are present on the specific trim you’re looking at.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE gives you a strong standard safety and tech package, 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. The XRT adds dark chrome and black cladding and trim, while Limited and Calligraphy versions bring more upscale wheels and a more premium feel.
• Powertrain: The base 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. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is optional, and the XRT gets AWD standard. A hybrid powertrain is also mentioned later in the model year.
• 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 Limited and Calligraphy trims add more advanced camera and parking features.
• Infotainment: The cabin centers on a curved panoramic display on XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto come standard across the lineup, along with 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 setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The base FWD version is rated at 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. AWD drops 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 FWD.

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 brings a long list of standard safety features plus wireless smartphone integration and a solid tech foundation. If you want the lowest entry price and don’t need the extra comfort or display upgrades, this is the trim to start with.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim. 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, making it the sweet spot for most shoppers.
• XRT: Choose this if you want the more rugged look and the added capability of standard AWD plus off-road modes and settings. It also adds Hyundai’s highway limited hands-free driving system, but it’s more specialized than the SEL.
• Limited: This trim is for you if you want a more upscale experience, with 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. It’s the most premium version, but it’s also the most expensive.

The base SE is well equipped, but the SEL is the best balance of features and value.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and deal activity to make shopping worthwhile.

• Deal availability: 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,413 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.39% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $29,935, 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 $29,935 sits slightly below last year's $33,407.

That price movement suggests the Santa Fe is currently in a buyer-friendly phase, which can make it easier for future sellers to attract interest if they bought at a lower price point. If you’re planning to resell later, the current market gives you a clearer benchmark for what buyers are actually paying now.

The model’s strong user satisfaction rating can also help support demand when it’s 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?

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 case for safety equipment across the lineup. 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 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 trims add a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot view monitor, rain-sensing windshield wipers, parking sensors, reverse parking collision assist, and remote automatic parking. 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 route signs during testing.

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:

• 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.39% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesign brings bold styling, a longer wheelbase, standard third-row seating, and a strong technology focus.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $23,767, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $29,935 average.
• It emphasizes value, standard safety, and easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $31,436, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,935 average.
• It adds more interior space and a broader feature set.

The bottom line: If you want the newest design and the strongest mix of style, tech, and standard equipment, the 2024 is the better path. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the more budget-friendly alternative, while the 2025 makes sense if you want the latest version and are willing to pay more.
