What Hyundai Santa Fe do most buyers choose?

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

These 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, price, and condition. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and more accessible pricing.

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the Santa Fe lineup, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. The declines are double-digit across every listed year, so buyers are seeing meaningful price relief rather than small adjustments. That makes the Santa Fe especially attractive if you want newer features without paying new-vehicle pricing.

The 2024, 2021, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

Should I buy a used Hyundai Santa Fe now or wait for the next model?

• 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.
