Used 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe for Sale nearScarborough, ON

How much does the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 13.00% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 405 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe earns a 4.88/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its comfort, advanced features, and strong value, and the review summary also points to a luxury-SUV feel, useful technology, and solid safety appeal. The expert notes reinforce that with class-leading value, standard safety features, and easy-to-use technology.

The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the lack of an N-Line performance variant. For you, that means the Santa Fe makes the most sense if you want a practical, well-equipped midsize SUV rather than a sporty one.

Only 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards shoppers who move quickly on well-priced examples.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

Owners rate it 4.88/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The user feedback points to a vehicle that many owners find dependable, comfortable, and trouble-free enough to recommend for everyday use. The review summary also highlights strong value and a smooth, enjoyable driving experience, which usually matters in long-term ownership.

On the expert side, the Santa Fe’s powertrain is described as smooth and clean in operation, with no undue harshness during testing. Hyundai’s five-year, 100,000-kilometre comprehensive warranty also helps reduce early ownership risk.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some owners have raised concerns about engine reliability, so a careful service-history check is worthwhile.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Preferred trim is the most basic version, while the Urban, Luxury, and Ultimate Calligraphy add more equipment and a more upscale feel. The lower trims miss some of the richer cabin touches, and the top trim brings the most premium lighting and interior materials.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine either naturally aspirated or turbocharged. The base engine makes 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, while the turbo version makes 281 hp and 311 pound-feet and pairs with an eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic.
• Safety package: Hyundai’s standard 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 is 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 limited to the top two trims, and Ultimate Calligraphy adds a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The non-turbo model returns 9.9 L/100 km combined, while the turbo version returns 10.0 L/100 km combined. In testing, the turbo model averaged 10.3 L/100 km.

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 choice if you want the Santa Fe’s core strengths without stretching the budget. You still get AWD, LED headlights, heated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a strong standard safety list, making it the best-value trim for most shoppers.
• Urban: This trim adds the turbocharged engine, leatherette seating surfaces, an 8-way power-adjustable passenger seat, and 19-inch alloy wheels. It suits you if you want stronger acceleration and a more upscale feel without jumping to the top trim.
• Luxury: This trim is listed only with hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains, so it sits outside the standard gas-model lineup.

The standard safety package is generous across the range, while 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 should focus on well-priced listings rather than rushing.

• Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 405 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.00% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $30,338 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 $30,382 CAD sits slightly below last year's $34,923 CAD.

That price decline suggests the Santa Fe has become more accessible for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may face a softer market than owners saw a year ago. If you buy at today’s average, your resale upside may be more limited unless demand strengthens.

Even so, the model’s strong value proposition and broad appeal should help it remain competitive with shoppers looking for a well-equipped midsize SUV. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment and a clean history should hold buyer interest better than bare-bones or poorly maintained ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.88/5, 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 standard with a broad suite of driver-assistance features: 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 main safety caveat is that the projector-type headlights in Ultimate Calligraphy were rated more favourably than the reflector-type units in lower trims, so lighting performance may vary by trim.

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:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.00% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the value-focused, safety-rich formula while adding a bit more horsepower to the base engine.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $42,022 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $30,382 CAD average.
• It brings a full redesign with a bolder look and standard third-row seating.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and a proven, well-equipped package, the 2023 is the smarter buy. If you want the newer design and can spend more, the 2024 is the more modern choice. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2023 offers the stronger case.
