• Infotainment: a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: the EPA fuel economy rating drops from 23 mpg combined for other AWD models to 21 mpg for the XRT; the Santa Fe Hybrid is rated at 34 mpg combined with AWD

Which Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe offers these trims:

• SE: The entry trim starts the lineup with the standard turbocharged engine, front-wheel drive, and the core Santa Fe cabin and tech setup.
• SEL: This trim adds another step up in equipment while staying in the mainstream of the lineup for shoppers who want more features without moving to the upper end.
• XRT: The XRT brings the rugged look, all-terrain tires, a raised suspension with 1.3 inches of extra ground clearance, greater approach, breakover, and departure angles, and standard all-wheel drive; it suits you if you want the most adventurous version.
• Limited: This trim adds the larger 12.3-inch display and a Bose premium audio system, making it a strong choice if you want a more upscale cabin.
• Calligraphy: The top trim adds the most luxurious presentation in the lineup and sits at the highest end of the Santa Fe range.

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, which can make it easier to find the right trim, price, and condition. They also sit in the sweet spot where newer features and broader availability overlap.

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 declines are especially pronounced in several older and recent years, while one model year is moving slightly higher. Overall, the table points to broad softening across the lineup rather than across-the-board strength.

The 2023, 2014, and 2021 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?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −9.91% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −8.62%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,451. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers a roomy, family-friendly cabin with a distinctive design and a strong mix of comfort and practicality.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: A standard 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 277 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 311 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm.
• Tech: Standard tech highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio with a free trial subscription, and Bluelink+ connected services.
• Safety: Hyundai equips the Santa Fe with a long list of standard safety features, plus a junction turning detection system that can automatically brake the SUV if drivers attempt a left turn at an intersection and an oncoming driver is running the light.
• 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 the $1,600 destination charge.

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 2028 inventory to mature.
