Is the Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?
Yes — the Hyundai Santa Fe is a strong used SUV choice if you want comfort, value, and a well-equipped cabin.
The all-generations owner rating is 4.6/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners repeatedly praise the Santa Fe for its comfort, spacious interior, and value for money. Reviewers also consistently highlight the useful feature content and safety equipment, along with a smooth, easy-to-live-with driving experience.
Expert reviews rate the 2020 and 2024 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs in newer expert-tested years centre on styling that may not suit every taste, top trims that can get expensive, and third-row space that feels tight.
29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Hyundai Santa Fe models reliable?
Owners consistently praise the Santa Fe for comfort, value, and a practical cabin that works well for families. Expert reviews also point to strong everyday usability, useful technology, and a well-rounded ownership experience.
- Owners rate the Hyundai Santa Fe between 4.5 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk looks manageable when you choose a well-maintained example and stay attentive to service history.
What should I look for when buying a used Hyundai Santa Fe?
Key things to evaluate:
- Fuel efficiency: The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid returns the best fuel economy of the lot, averaging 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres combined. Natural Resources Canada estimates that the ICE model gets a fuel rating of 10.6 L/100 km combined. The XRT, with its knobbier tires, returns 10.8 L/100 km combined.
Which Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe offers these trims:
- XRT: The off-road-focused XRT adds 18-inch wheels, chrome and black exterior trim, black roof rails, and 30-inch all-terrain tires, plus 21.2 cm of ground clearance. It suits you if you want the most rugged-looking version and extra capability for graded dirt roads.
- Luxury: Luxury adds navigation, a more upscale equipment mix, and the kind of comfort-focused features that make it a strong choice if you want a well-rounded daily driver.
- Ultimate Calligraphy: Ultimate Calligraphy brings the most premium feel with 21-inch wheels, captain’s chairs in place of the second-row bench, Nappa leather upholstery, a digital rearview mirror, a head-up display, and the Blind View Monitor. It is the best choice if you want the most upscale Santa Fe experience.
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 % |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 479 | 29.4% |
| 2024 | 476 | 32.8% |
| 2023 | 433 | 30.7% |
| 2019 | 404 | 28% |
| 2022 | 388 | 29.6% |
| 2021 | 381 | 27.8% |
These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of pricing, equipment, and availability. More listings also make it easier to compare condition, mileage, and deal quality before you buy.
What is the Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $20,143 CAD | −13.62% |
| 2022 | $26,016 CAD | −13.34% |

| 2024 | $41,173 CAD | −11.85% |
| 2021 | $23,176 CAD | −11.1% |
The table shows broad double-digit price declines across every listed model year, which is good news if you are shopping used. Newer versions are also falling, so recent model years can offer stronger value than they did a year ago. The spread is fairly consistent, with no year showing a sharp break from the overall pattern.
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
- 2024: 8/10
- 2023: 9/10
- 2020: 10/10
Hyundai’s safety suite includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision avoidance assist, lane keeping and lane following assist, and safe exit assist.
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 −13.25% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −11.85%.
- Deal availability: The 2024 model has 32.8% good and great deals.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2020 model has the most listings at a current average price of $20,143 CAD. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers a practical, family-friendly cabin with useful space and a well-rounded everyday character.
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.
- Safety: The latest model adds blind spot avoidance that can apply the brakes if you are about to change lanes into another vehicle, along with the Blind View Monitor on the top two trims.
- 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.
