Is the Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?
Yes — the Hyundai Santa Fe is a strong used SUV choice if you value comfort, space, and everyday usefulness. The all-generations owner rating is 4.64/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the Santa Fe for its comfortable ride, roomy cabin, and strong value. Across the model years, shoppers also repeatedly highlight its useful features and family-friendly practicality, along with the confidence that comes from its safety equipment.
Expert reviews rate the 2020 and 2021 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs show up in the form of underwhelming base-engine performance, occasional road noise, and, on some newer versions, a third row that feels tight and top trims that climb in price.
36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Hyundai Santa Fe models reliable?
Owners consistently give the Hyundai Santa Fe strong marks for comfort, value, and everyday livability, and expert coverage repeatedly points to its practical design and useful features.

- Owners rate the Hyundai Santa Fe between 4.5 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is generally easier to manage when you focus on well-kept examples with clean history reports and strong maintenance records.
What should I look for when buying a used Hyundai Santa Fe?
Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 84.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 94.7% |
| 2025 | 93.8% |
| 2024 | 91.2% |

| 2016 | 56.2% |

| 2014 | 54.5% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: Highway Driving Assist on higher trim levels, including the XRT test car
- 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 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.

For the safest used buy, the 2020 and 2022 models both post the highest confirmed score of 10/10.
Should I buy a used Hyundai Santa Fe now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −10.66% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −8.75%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 39% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 38%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,012. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers a roomy, family-friendly cabin with useful storage and a strong everyday comfort focus.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: A standard 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, and the Santa Fe Hybrid is rated at 34 mpg combined with AWD.
- 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.
- Starting price: Hyundai sells the 2026 Santa Fe in SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trim levels, with prices ranging from $36,650 to $49,400, including destination.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

It was the Calligraphy trim and so it had every safety and convenience feature. Great value for the price

Reviewed a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe on Oct 22, 2024
We bought this car primarily because of the value, in terms of what we get for the money. We looked at many other manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Kia, Nissan and the Hyundai Santa Fe, in the Calligraphy trim level had the most and best features for the price.
