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 model years tend to be popular because they give you a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment levels. They also usually attract more shoppers, which helps keep the used market active and easier to compare.

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’re shopping used. Most model years are down by double digits, so buyers are seeing meaningful price relief compared with a year ago. The smallest declines are still substantial, which suggests the Santa Fe remains in steady demand.

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