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, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• SEL: This trim adds to the core Santa Fe formula while staying in the mainstream part of the lineup, making it a sensible step up for shoppers who want more equipment without moving to the upper end.
• XRT: The XRT adds standard all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, a raised suspension with 1.3 inches of extra ground clearance, and off-road drive modes, making it the pick if you want the most rugged version.
• Limited: This trim brings the larger 12.3-inch display on the driver side and a Bose premium audio system, making it a strong choice if you want a more upscale cabin.
• Calligraphy: The top trim layers on the most luxurious presentation and equipment in the lineup, and it suits shoppers who 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.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of availability, pricing, and feature content. They also sit in the sweet spot where newer design and equipment updates are easier to find without paying the newest-model premium.

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 close to flat or moving up, so the strongest bargains are concentrated in the years with the larger drops.

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.

On higher trim levels, including the XRT test car, Highway Driving Assist combines adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist for more relaxed highway driving.

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 −11.29% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −9.66%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 40.3% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 39.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,682. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers a distinctive family-friendly cabin with generous space 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, 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 2026 model adds 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 the next model year's inventory to build up.
