Expert reviews rate the 2020 and 2021 models among the highest across all years.

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

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Infotainment: 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: 23 mpg combined for other AWD models; 21 mpg for the XRT; 34 mpg combined with AWD for the Santa Fe Hybrid

Which Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe offers these trims:

• SE: The entry trim starts with the standard 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, front-wheel drive, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bluelink+ connected services.
• SEL: This trim builds on the SE with more equipment and is a sensible step up if you want a better-balanced mix of features and value.
• XRT: The XRT adds a more rugged look, standard all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, a raised suspension with extra ground clearance, and off-road drive modes; it is the best fit if you want the most adventurous version.
• Limited: This trim adds the larger 12.3-inch driver display and a Bose premium audio system, making it a strong choice if you want a more upscale cabin.
• Calligraphy: The top trim brings the most luxurious presentation and equipment, and it suits you if you want the most premium Santa Fe experience.

What Hyundai Santa Fe do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Santa Fe years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread to shop, and a better chance of finding the trim and equipment mix you want.

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which creates better opportunities for used buyers. The steepest drops are concentrated in several recent and mid-cycle years, while one newer year is still edging upward. Overall, the pattern favors shoppers looking for value, especially if you want a newer Santa Fe without paying new-car pricing.

The 2023, 2014, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Hyundai Santa Fe now or wait for the next model?

• Tech: Standard tech highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio with a free trial subscription, and Bluelink+ connected services.
• Safety: The latest model adds a junction turning detection system, front and rear parking sensors, and a safe-exit assist system.
