What Hyundai Santa Fe do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Santa Fe years with the most listings are 2024, 2020, and 2023.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and used-car value.

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across every model year listed, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. The largest drops are in the double digits, while the smallest decline is still meaningful, so the overall pattern points to softer pricing rather than stability.
