Hyundai Santa Fe video review
Different generations of used Hyundai Santa Fe
Fifth Generation (2024 to 2024)
With the arrival of the fifth-generation Santa Fe, Hyundai decided to give the SUV an entirely new look. It became larger and boxier, but was also filled with more high-end features and premium materials. The front end was given a flatter look and most of the rounded style was gone. With a mildly sloped roof line, the SUV now had a bolder appearance.
It's also fitted with fold-flat seats that could be used to sleep on when travelling. Santa Fe also received technology upgrades, such as a large infotainment screen that seamlessly fits with the bigger panoramic curved display.

Fourth Generation (2021 to 2024)
Sharper lines and a more modern design were added to the fourth generation Santa Fe. New models had 18-inch alloy wheels, LED running lights, automatic climate control and enhanced connectivity. The Santa Fe was also made to be more comfortable for families, with three-row seating coming as standard.
A 2020 refresh added even more tech features to the large SUV. On the outside, a new shield was added to the lower air intake and a redesigned rear bumper gave it a more modern appearance.

Third Generation (2012 to 2024)
Even though the third-generation Santa Fe remained affordable, the appearance looked more stylish than before with its bigger grille and bold look. The large grille was topped with three horizontal chromed lines and the bumper housed large fog lights for better visibility.
The third-generation Santa Fe didn't receive as many updates as other models, but Hyundai only kept it for six years, so it remained a relevant and fresh option for families, especially considering the large amount of powertrains that were available.

Used Hyundai Santa Fe FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Hyundai Santa Fe?
Overwhelmingly, the 2.2-litre CRD diesel engine has been the most popular, likely because of its efficiency. However, the newer petrol hybrid models are becoming increasingly popular, too.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Most generations were available in SE, Premium and Premium SE, though some newer models also come in a variant called Ultimate. The most popular variant among used models is the Premium with its balanced range between the bottom and top specs, including an electrically-powered automatic tailgate, privacy glass, roof rails, and heated front seats with lumbar support.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Heated and ventilated seats can provide more comfort on longer drives, while the larger 10.25-inch touchscreen display is also a top choice. Customers desiring more protection should look out for the rear cross-traffic alert, which warns drivers when other vehicles are passing behind when they're reversing from a parking space.
Is the Hyundai Santa Fe a good family car?
Yes, newer models come standard with three rows to hold up to seven people, though there are older models with five seats. Comfort is a priority in the Santa Fe, and there's a decent amount of boot space provided.
Is there a hybrid version of the Hyundai Santa Fe?
While there was a time when the Santa Fe was only available with a diesel engine, there are now newer hybrid models available. It's possible to find a mild hybrid or plug-in that offers up to 36 miles of electric-only driving per charge.
Is the Hyundai Santa Fe available as an automatic?
Yes, Hyundai has offered both automatic and manual gearboxes with the Santa Fe. Among used models, the automatic transmission tends to be more popular, but there should be no problem finding either one for a reasonable cost.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
Yes, Hyundai made the Santa Fe with four-wheel drive capability. In fact, this setup is more popular than the front-wheel drive models. Four-wheel drive offers better handling on uneven or slippery terrain.
