Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe earns a 4.9/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, advanced features, and strong value, and many also like the luxury-SUV feel created by the technology and safety equipment. The review summary also points to a smooth, enjoyable driving experience, with positive feedback around the AWD models. On the downside, the expert review notes an underwhelming base engine and no N-Line performance variant, so it suits you best if you want a practical family SUV rather than a sporty one. That makes it a strong fit if you want a well-equipped midsize crossover that focuses on everyday usefulness. Listings show 32.4% good or great deals, which is a healthy sign of market opportunity.

The expert review also describes Hyundai’s value proposition as including low maintenance costs and reasonable insurance rates, which supports the case for predictable ownership. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the vehicle has been maintained properly, especially if you are considering one of the more powerful or higher-mileage examples.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Preferred, Urban, Luxury, and Ultimate Calligraphy trims give you a clear step-up path, with the lower trims focusing on value and the upper trims adding more premium equipment. The base trim already includes LED headlights, heated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a wide set of standard safety features, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the essentials.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, with the naturally aspirated version in Preferred trim and a turbocharged version in Urban and Ultimate Calligraphy. The turbo engine brings much stronger acceleration and passing power, while the non-turbo version is described as serviceable.
• Safety package: Hyundai’s standard driver-assistance suite includes forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction-turning detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, driver monitoring, safe-exit assist, and a rear-seat reminder system. Highway Driving Assist comes standard on Ultimate Calligraphy.
• Infotainment: All trims get a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and traffic information, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, BlueLink connected services, voice recognition, and dual front and rear USB ports. Wireless device charging is reserved for the top two trims, and Ultimate Calligraphy adds a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The non-turbo version returns 9.9 L/100 km combined, while the turbo engine is rated at 10.0 L/100 km combined. In testing, the turbo version averaged 10.3 L/100 km in mixed driving.

Which 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in 4 trim levels: Preferred, Urban, Luxury, and Ultimate Calligraphy.

Here's the short version:

• Preferred: This is the best-value choice if you want the Santa Fe’s core strengths without paying for extras. You still get AWD, heated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a strong safety feature set, which makes it the smart starting point for most shoppers.
• Urban: This trim is the step-up pick if you want the turbocharged engine and more premium everyday equipment. It adds stronger performance, leatherette seating surfaces, and a power-adjustable passenger seat, so it suits you if you want more refinement without going all the way to the top trim.
• Luxury: This trim is the right choice if you want the more upscale cabin experience and the larger digital instrument cluster. It is also tied to the hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains, so it is best for shoppers prioritising efficiency and a more premium feel.
• Ultimate Calligraphy: This is the most luxurious version, with Nappa leather seats, a surround-view camera, blind view monitor, wireless charging, and the premium audio system. It is the best fit if you want the most features and the most polished Santa Fe experience.

The safety package is especially strong across the lineup, but Highway Driving Assist is reserved for Ultimate Calligraphy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 438 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.60% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $29,684 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

The current average of $29,696 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,593 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer today, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive market if values continue to ease. The Santa Fe’s strong value reputation and broad appeal should help support demand, especially among shoppers who want a well-equipped family SUV. Still, a seller will likely need to price carefully to stand out against the current inventory.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe received the highest-possible five-star overall rating from NHTSA, and the IIHS gave it its highest rating of Top Safety Pick+.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Hyundai equips the Santa Fe with a broad standard safety suite that includes forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction-turning detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, driver monitoring, safe-exit assist, and a rear-seat reminder system. Highway Driving Assist comes standard on Ultimate Calligraphy, adding adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability. The only trim-level note worth keeping in mind is that the more advanced Highway Driving Assist feature is not standard across the lineup.

Should I buy a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.60% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It carries over nearly unchanged, with only minor equipment shuffling and a small horsepower increase for the base engine.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $40,843 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $29,696 CAD average.
• It brings a fully redesigned look with a bold, blocky profile.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2023 is the smarter buy because it delivers strong equipment, solid safety, and a lower average price. If you care more about fresh styling and a full redesign, the 2024 is the better path, but you will pay more for it.
