• SEL: This trim builds on the SE with more equipment and sits in the middle of the lineup for shoppers who want a stronger mix of features and value.
• XRT: The XRT adds a more rugged look, standard all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, a raised suspension with 1.3 inches of extra ground clearance, greater approach, breakover, and departure angles, and off-road drive modes; it suits you best if you want the Santa Fe’s adventurous side.

What Hyundai Santa Fe do most buyers choose?

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

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. A few years are holding steadier or moving up, but the overall pattern still favors buyers looking for lower entry prices.

The 2023 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2014, 2023, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
