How much does the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 11.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 421 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

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 impressive value, and many also like the luxury-SUV feel, technology, and safety equipment. The review summary also points to a smooth, enjoyable driving experience, with positive feedback around AWD models. On the other hand, the expert review notes that the base engine is underwhelming and that there is no N-Line performance variant.

For you, that means the Santa Fe makes the most sense if you want a practical family SUV with strong equipment and a polished feel rather than a sporty personality. It also fits well if you value a well-rounded daily driver over constant redesigns or flashier styling.

Only 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is somewhat selective rather than deeply discounted.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

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

The user review summary points to a vehicle that feels comfortable, advanced, and impressive in everyday use, with many owners describing it as a dependable choice for family duty. It also highlights positive feedback around the AWD models and a smooth, enjoyable driving experience, which supports the idea that you can count on it for regular use.

The expert review adds that Hyundai’s value proposition is backed by reasonable insurance rates and low maintenance costs. It also notes a five-year, 100,000-kilometre comprehensive warranty with unlimited roadside assistance for the same period.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that some drivers have raised concerns about engine reliability, so service history matters.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Preferred trim is the entry point and includes LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, cloth seats, heated front seats, keyless entry, split/reclining second-row seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen display audio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wide set of standard ADAS. Higher trims add more comfort and convenience, with the top Calligraphy trim bringing Nappa leather seats, a surround-view camera, and Hyundai’s blind view monitor system.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.5-litre engine, with the Preferred using a naturally aspirated four-cylinder rated at 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, while the Urban and Ultimate Calligraphy use a turbocharged version with 281 hp and 311 pound-feet. The turbo engine is much quicker, while the non-turbo version is described as serviceable.
• Safety package: Standard safety equipment 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 exclusive to the top two trims, and Ultimate Calligraphy adds a 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The non-turbo version returns combined fuel economy of 9.9 L/100 km, while the turbo engine delivers 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 best-value starting point if you want the Santa Fe’s core strengths without stretching the budget. You still get AWD, heated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a strong safety feature set, so it covers the essentials well.
• 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 more power and a more upscale feel without going all the way to the top trim.
• Luxury: This trim is available in Canada exclusively as the Santa Fe Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid, so it is not part of the standard gas-model trim walk.
• Ultimate Calligraphy: This is the most luxurious gas trim, with Nappa leather seats, a surround-view camera, Hyundai’s blind view monitor system, wireless device charging, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system. It is the right pick if you want the most premium Santa Fe experience.

The safety package is especially broad across the lineup, and Highway Driving Assist comes standard 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 have room to shop carefully rather than rush.

• Deal availability: 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 421 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.19% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $29,638 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 $29,638 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,372 CAD.

That softer pricing can work in your favour if you are buying now, but it also means a future seller may face a more competitive market if prices stay under pressure. The Santa Fe’s strong value story helps support demand, though, especially because shoppers tend to respond well to its standard safety equipment and easy-to-use technology. If you keep the vehicle in good condition and maintain it properly, it should remain appealing to used buyers.

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.

Standard safety equipment 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 main 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 can 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:

• 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 carries over nearly unchanged, with minor equipment shuffling and a small horsepower increase for the base engine.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $40,604 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $29,638 CAD average.
• It brings a fully redesigned look with a bold, blocky profile and a longer wheelbase.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and a proven formula, the 2023 is the smarter buy. If you are willing to pay more for a full redesign and a more distinctive look, the 2024 is the one to compare against. Price-sensitive buyers should start with the 2023 and focus on finding a clean, well-equipped example.
