What should I look for when buying a used Hyundai Santa Fe?
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: 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.

- Fuel efficiency: the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid averages 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres combined, while the ICE model gets 10.6 L/100 km combined and the XRT returns 10.8 L/100 km combined.
Which Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe offers these trims:
- XRT: Adds 18-inch wheels, chrome and black exterior trim, black roof rails, and 30-inch all-terrain tires, plus extra ground clearance for buyers who want the most rugged-looking version.

- Ultimate Calligraphy: Adds 21-inch wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, captain’s chairs in the second row, a digital rearview mirror, a head-up display, and the most premium cabin presentation.
What Hyundai Santa Fe do most buyers choose?
The Hyundai Santa Fe years with the most listings are 2020, 2024, and 2023.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|

| 2024 | 473 | 33.6% |
| 2023 | 432 | 31.9% |
| 2019 | 408 | 30.9% |
| 2022 | 391 | 33.2% |
| 2021 | 384 | 31.5% |

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $20,174 CAD | −13.53% |
| 2022 | $25,973 CAD | −13.47% |
| 2019 | $17,996 CAD | −13.06% |

| 2024 | $41,237 CAD | −11.69% |
| 2021 | $23,195 CAD | −11.3% |
The table shows broad downward movement across the Santa Fe lineup, which can work in your favour as a used buyer. The declines are double-digit across every listed year, so recent examples have become noticeably more affordable over the past year. The smallest drops are still meaningful, but they are less severe than the steepest changes in the group.
The 2021, 2024, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
Is the Hyundai Santa Fe safe?
- 2025: 7/10

- 2023: 9/10
- 2020: 10/10
Hyundai includes 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 across the 2025 Santa Fe lineup.
For the safest used buy, the 2020 model posts the highest confirmed score of 10/10.
Should I buy a used Hyundai Santa Fe now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −12.98% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −11.69%.
- Deal availability: The 2024 model has 33.6% good and great deals.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2020 model has the most listings at a current average price of $20,174 CAD. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers a roomy, family-friendly cabin with a practical, versatile character that suits everyday use.
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: In Canada, every version of the gas-powered Santa Fe gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment duties and a digital gauge cluster of the same size, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included.
- Safety: Hyundai includes 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 across the 2025 Santa Fe lineup.
- 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.

It was the Calligraphy trim and so it had every safety and convenience feature. Great value for the price

We bought this car primarily because of the value, in terms of what we get for the money. We looked at many other manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Kia, Nissan and the Hyundai Santa Fe, in the Calligraphy trim level had the most and best features for the price.

CarGurus recommends the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe

Summary
With 380 currently listed for sale and an average price of $23,203 CAD, 29.7% of 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe 5 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe stands out as a well-rounded midsize SUV that blends useful space, modern features, and a broad range of powertrain choices. It offers three rows of seats, which is unusual among smaller midsize SUVs, and its cabin is described as airy aside from the cramped third row. Cargo space is generous at up to 2,267 litres, and towing capacity ranges from 900 to 2,040 kilograms depending on trim. Buyers also get standard all-wheel drive in Canada across the lineup, which adds to its appeal as a practical family vehicle.
This model year also benefits from a strong equipment list and meaningful updates. The Preferred trim is hybrid by default and includes third-row seating, LED headlights, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a proximity key. A refreshed exterior brought new lights, grille, wheels, and taillights, while a larger touchscreen was also offered. In testing, the Santa Fe rode comfortably and handled better than the previous generation, and features such as 3D-rendered 360-degree cameras, a UV-disinfecting phone holder, a digital key, and highway driving assist helped it feel modern without becoming overwhelming.
There are a few trade-offs to keep in mind. The cabin materials are not especially upscale, with scratch-prone plastics, fake wood, and cheap-feeling leather noted in testing. The third row is cramped, and some owners say the engine can feel under-powered at times. Even so, the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe remains appealing because it combines value, comfort, efficiency, and a long list of useful features in a package that feels thoughtfully equipped for everyday use.
