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.

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

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.

Reviewed a 2025 Hyundai Ultimate Calligraphy AWD on Aug 2, 2025
I absolutely love how the outside of them look. The lights on the back do look a little funny, but I think that the inside and features that it comes with makes up for that.

The car is a great upgrade from years before. The third row is very nice and a great size for teenagers. The ride is smooth and quiet.

Hyundai Santa Fe test drive
overall
Form follows function with the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a midsize, three-row SUV that sits at the smaller end of the segment, while the Hyundai Palisade lives among the larger players in the class. Nevertheless, thanks to its boxy shape and thoughtfully crafted interior, shoppers might decide bigger isn’t necessarily better. The 2026 Santa Fe gets a new transmission, added safety features, and minor equipment and packaging updates. The Santa Fe Hybrid returns, too, but we’ll cover that in a separate review.
Verdict: Polarizing design aside, the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe is a brilliant, family-friendly crossover SUV. We tested the XRT version, which trades fuel economy for off-road capability, so buyers who don’t need that should pick a different trim level.
