What Hyundai Santa Fe do most buyers choose?

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

Most model years are posting double-digit price declines, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want stronger value. The newer years are also easing in price, so recent-model shoppers may find better entry points than they did a year ago. Overall, the pattern favours buyers more than sellers right now.

• Safety: Regardless of trim, you’ll get adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction turning detection, lane keeping and lane following assist, a driver attention monitor, and safe exit assist, among other features.
• Starting price: For the 2025 model year, the MSRP for the gas-only Santa Fe XRT starts at $51,039 CAD.

If you're buying used today, the 2020 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
