• Infotainment: a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: The Santa Fe Hybrid is rated at 34 mpg combined with AWD, while other AWD models are rated at 23 mpg combined and the XRT is rated at 21 mpg combined.

Which Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe offers these trims:

• SE: This entry trim gives you the standard 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the new eight-speed automatic, front-wheel drive, and the dual-screen dashboard layout. It suits you if you want the core Santa Fe experience at the lowest price.
• SEL: This trim builds on the SE with more equipment and keeps the same smooth powertrain and available all-wheel drive. It is a strong value choice if you want a better-equipped daily driver.
• XRT: This trim adds the rugged look, all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, a raised suspension with 1.3 inches of extra ground clearance, greater approach, breakover, and departure angles, standard all-wheel drive, and Terrain mode. 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, along with a more upscale cabin feel. It is a good fit if you want more comfort and tech.
• Calligraphy: This top trim brings the most luxurious presentation in the lineup, with the highest price and the most premium overall feel. It suits you if you want the most upscale Santa Fe.

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 model years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of availability, pricing, and newer features. They also give you more choices when you compare trims, mileage, and condition.

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used after the initial drop in value. A few years are falling by double digits, while one recent year is still moving up, so the pricing picture is mixed rather than uniform.

The 2014 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2023, 2014, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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, 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: Hyundai equips the Santa Fe with a long list of standard safety features, plus a junction turning detection system, front and rear parking sensors, and safe-exit assist.
