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, colour, and price. They also often line up with model years that balance newer features with broader used-market availability.

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.

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 the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included.
• 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.
