Hyundai Santa Fe Depreciation & Resale Value

Hyundai Santa Fe keeps an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #154 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Hyundai Santa Fe retains an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #154 of 530 cars we track. That is 6 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Hyundai Santa Fe sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $35,050 it falls to around $22,326 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,724, about $6.97 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Hyundai Santa Fe bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
