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.

Drivers consistently praise its comfort, advanced features, and strong value. The user feedback also points to a luxury-SUV feel, especially in the technology and safety experience, along with smooth driving manners. The expert review backs that up with strong value, standard safety features, and easy-to-use technology.

The trade-offs are straightforward: the base engine is underwhelming, and there’s no N-Line performance variant. That makes this a better fit if you want a practical family SUV than if you’re chasing sporty character.

The Santa Fe is aimed at shoppers who want a well-equipped midsize crossover without paying for constant redesigns or unnecessary complexity. Good and great deals account for 33.9% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback highlights the Santa Fe as comfortable, advanced, and impressive in value, with several owners describing it as dependable and enjoyable to live with over time. The expert review also points to Hyundai’s low maintenance costs and reasonable insurance rates, which support the case for easy ownership. The performance notes add that the drivetrain feels smooth and clean in operation, with no undue harshness during testing.

Hyundai also includes five years and 100,000 kilometres of comprehensive warranty coverage, which helps reduce early ownership risk for used buyers. For you, that means the main long-term concern is less about basic durability and more about choosing the right trim and engine for your needs.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Canadian lineup includes Preferred, Urban, Luxury, and Ultimate Calligraphy. The base trim gives you the essentials, but the higher trims add more upscale cabin materials, a larger digital instrument cluster, and extra convenience features.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder in Preferred, while Urban and Ultimate Calligraphy use a turbocharged version with much stronger output. The turbo model is the better pick if you want more confident passing and merging.
• Safety package: The Santa Fe 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, 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 limited to the top two trims.
• 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.

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 value-focused starting point, and it already gives you AWD, heated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a strong safety feature set. If you want the lowest entry price and don’t need the extra power or luxury touches, this is the one to start with.
• Urban: This is the best-value upgrade if you want the turbocharged engine and more comfort-focused equipment without jumping to the top end. It adds leatherette seating surfaces, a power-adjustable passenger seat, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
• Luxury: This trim is the step up for buyers who want a more premium feel, including a fully digital instrument cluster and a proximity-activated smart liftgate. It is also the hybrid or plug-in hybrid path in Canada, so it suits you if efficiency matters more than outright performance.
• Ultimate Calligraphy: This is the most luxurious choice, with Nappa leather seats, a surround-view camera, Hyundai’s blind view monitor system, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. It’s the right pick if you want the most upscale Santa Fe experience.

Safety equipment is broad across the range, but Highway Driving Assist is standard only on Ultimate Calligraphy.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 448 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.53% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $29,686 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 $29,709 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,580 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Santa Fe is currently more buyer-friendly than seller-friendly. If you own one and plan to sell later, the recent decline means you may need to price competitively to stand out. On the other hand, the model’s strong value reputation and broad appeal can help support demand if your vehicle is well equipped and well maintained.

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 Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS.

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

The Santa Fe comes with a broad suite of standard driver-assistance features, including 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 is standard on Ultimate Calligraphy.

The expert review also notes that the projector-type headlights in Ultimate Calligraphy are rated more favourably than the reflector-type units in lower trims. That means you should pay attention to trim choice if you want the strongest lighting setup.

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:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.53% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• This year keeps the Santa Fe’s value-focused formula, standard safety features, and easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $40,806 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $29,709 CAD average.
• It brings a fully redesigned look with a bolder, more distinctive shape.

The bottom line: If you want the better value proposition, the 2023 is the smarter buy. If you’re willing to pay more for a full redesign and a fresher design direction, the 2024 is the better alternative. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2023’s softer pricing makes it the easier recommendation.
