Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Our test Santa Fe had the standard 2.5-litre turbocharged engine with 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, while the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid combines a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a total of 231 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: Every version of the gas-powered Santa Fe gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a digital gauge cluster of the same size, plus standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

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.
