Hyundai Santa Fe Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Santa Fe is Hyundai's midsize SUV, sold with gas and hybrid powertrains. Many people still search for the 2025 price, but the current sticker figures on this page are for the 2027 model year, so use them as today's numbers rather than a record of what a 2025 cost.

Every price below comes from MotorTrend and includes the destination fee. That matters when you compare against a manufacturer ad, because those usually quote a lower starting number before destination.

The gas lineup begins with the SE. The SE FWD is $36,950 and the SE AWD is $38,750. The SEL FWD is $39,490, and the rugged XRT AWD is $43,940.

Higher up, the Limited 6P FWD is $46,500. The "6P" label refers to a six-passenger layout, so check the seating arrangement on the trim you test drive. The Calligraphy AWD tops the gas range at $51,300.

The hybrid is a separate list with fewer trims published. The Hybrid SE FWD is $38,300 and the Hybrid SEL FWD is $40,590. The Hybrid Limited 6P AWD is $49,400, and the Hybrid Calligraphy AWD is $52,400.

Because the listed hybrid and gas trims do not line up one for one, a clean comparison works best at the SE and SEL levels, where both versions are priced with front-wheel drive. Also check whether your state offers any incentive tied to hybrid purchases, since programs change and eligibility rules differ.

The hybrid usually asks for a higher price in exchange for lower fuel use. Whether that pays back depends on how many miles you drive each year and what fuel costs where you live. The EPA's fueleconomy.gov publishes official ratings for each powertrain, which makes it easy to run your own math. A buyer who drives short distances may never recover the difference, while a commuter often will.

• SE. The entry point, and the cheapest way into a new Santa Fe.
• SEL. A step up in equipment, available with front-wheel drive in both powertrains.
• XRT. Gas only in the published list, with a more adventurous look and AWD.
• Limited 6P. A six-passenger configuration for families that need more seating flexibility.
• Calligraphy. The top trim, with the highest price in both lists.

Compare the equipment lists on Hyundai's site before paying for a higher trim. The difference between two neighbors sometimes covers features you would not have chosen on their own.

A quoted starting price is the lowest trim with the lowest-cost drivetrain. The vehicle you actually want may sit several steps higher. On top of the sticker, the total usually includes:

• Sales tax, title, and registration, which vary by state.
• Dealer documentation fees, which differ between dealers.
• Accessories, paint, and any dealer-installed add-ons.
• Dealer markup, if demand for a trim is strong in your area.

Ask each dealer for an itemized quote and compare them line by line. A price list that includes destination and one that leaves it out will not match, even for the same vehicle.

Midrange trims tend to be the most requested, so they leave the least room to negotiate. Contact several dealers in your region and be willing to decline add-ons that were not part of your request. Manufacturer incentives and special finance rates change from time to time, so look at Hyundai's current offers before you sign.

The sticker is one part of the bill. Insurance depends on your ZIP code and driving record. Fuel costs depend on the powertrain you choose. Ask about the factory warranty and service intervals, and note that larger wheels on upper trims can raise tire costs.

Monthly payments depend on credit, down payment, loan length, and the interest rate. Compare a dealer's offer with a pre-approved loan from a bank or credit union. For personal financial advice, consult a licensed professional.
