2020 Hyundai Santa Fe price and specs

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is available with two different powertrains that are both available across four different trim levels. Prices start from $43,000 before on-road costs for the base Active V6 to $60,500 before on-road costs for the Highlander diesel.

The current Santa Fe is the fourth generation of the nameplate and battles rivals like the Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Kluger. A redesigned model is due later this year, while buyers looking for even more space in a Hyundai will soon be able to buy the made-for-America Palisade SUV.
