What is the best year for a used Hyundai Santa Fe?
My family is expanding and I need to buy a bigger SUV. My buddy just bought a brand new Hyundai Santa Fe that he loves. I’m thinking about buying one, too, if I can get a good price on a used one. What’s the best year for a used Santa Fe?

Hyundai Santa Fe
will ultimately come down to your vehicle preferences and priorities, but we recommend checking out these models:- 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe: J.D. Powers ranks it 83/100 for reliability; excellent driving dynamics; powerful V6 engine; includes many modern tech features; better purchase price than 2022 or 2023 model since it’s a couple of years old
- 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe: Edmunds rates it 4.7/5.0 (the best rating amongst its peers); smooth handling; rugged V6 engine; you’ll miss out on some tech features and won’t be able to take full advantage of its five-year warranty
- 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe: J.D. Power rates it 83/100 and Edmunds rates it 4.4/5.0; competitively priced; comfortable and reliable; you’ll miss out on many modern features, but you’ll still get to enjoy the panoramic sunroof!
