Santa Fe Lineup Offers Value and Versatility
The Santa Fe, the only 3-row member of Hyundai’s SUV lineup, comes equipped with family-friendly features at a relatively affordable price, all in a good-looking vehicle. It comes well equipped through the trim levels, along with a battery of options and feature packages designed to lure consumers with a "have it your way" approach. The Hyundai Santa Fe has a comfortable interior, good mpg figures, a great warranty and is easy to drive.
Driving the Santa Fe
In our review of the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, we noted: "While Mazda’s CX-9 may have set a new standard for 7-passenger SUV handling, the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV isn’t far from this benchmark. The Santa Fe offers more horsepower than the Mazda and features Drive Mode Select, a 3-position setting that permits the driver to change steering feel and transmission shift points ranging from Economy to Comfort to Sport mode."
Build and Price
The Santa Fe starts under $32,000 and tops out at about $45,000. Build and price your own 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe to unlock this week’s Fair Purchase Price, 5-Year Cost to Own and more.

Santa Fe Sport
If a 2-row SUV is what you’re looking for, but you want the good looks and value that the Santa Fe offers, check out the Santa Fe Sport. Like its 3-row big brother, the Santa Fe Sport offers a lot of features for a decent price, wrapped in attractive sheet metal. The Santa Fe Sport falls in size between the Tucson and the Santa Fe, and offers a fun drive and more space than a typical compact SUV.
Owners’ Opinions
KBB.com reader LarryR replaced a 2009 Santa Fe with a new one, and has this to say about Hyundai’s 3-row SUV: "Roomier interior, second row captains chairs, real-time NAV, upgraded safety features like blind-spot warning and 360 camera. My only complaint (vs. the 2009) is less driver visibility." Read more Santa Fe consumer reviews.
