2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Prices: MSRP vs Dealer Invoice vs True Dealer Cost w/Holdback

The Santa Fe has been Hyundai's go-to family SUV for many years. Its enduring popularity can be attributed to its versatile cabin and engaging driving dynamics. This year, several exciting changes are happening for the Santa Fe. Shoppers are invited to learn more about them in the following guide.

What is New for 2022?

A brand-new XRT trim level is available for the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. It is designed to be more rugged, at least in appearance. This year also sees the introduction of a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The 2022 model is part of the fourth generation of this vehicle, which made its debut in 2019.

Performance Facts

As its standard engine, the 2022 Santa Fe comes equipped with a 2.5L four-cylinder that generates 191-horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is also available on all 2022 Santa Fe trim levels.

Starting with the Limited trim, the Santa Fe has a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder instead. These models are able to make 281-horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Hybrid models use a turbocharged four-cylinder along with an electric motor. The conventional hybrid can make 226-horsepower, while the new plug-in hybrid can get up to 261-horsepower.

Towing Capability

When properly equipped, the non-turbocharged engine can help the Santa Fe tow up to 2,000 pounds. Turbocharged models with the right equipment can handle 3,500 pounds. While these are not necessarily bad numbers, there are several competitors that can tow much more.

Fuel Economy

With the standard engine, buyers can expect 25mpg in the city and 28mpg on the highway. The turbocharged engine is just as efficient on the highway, but it dips down to 22mpg in the city. As for the hybrid, the entry-level Blue trim level can give drivers 36mpg in the city and 31mpg on the highway. Finally, the plug-in hybrid is rated at 76 MPG-e.

Safety Features

An extensive number of driver aids are found on all models of the 2022 Santa Fe. A few highlights include adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, driver drowsiness monitoring, and blind-spot monitoring. Rear seat alert, which reminds drivers to check the backseat for children or animals, is also included across the board.

On the Limited trim, the Santa Fe adds rain-sensing windshield wipers and a blind-spot camera. Additionally, this model has an automated parking system and a surround-view camera system. The top-of-the-line Calligraphy finishes things off with a head-up display.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Wireless versions of smartphone integration tools are included. Buyers can use either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay on the standard 8-inch touchscreen to listen to their favorite music and find directions. There are a total of four USB ports, with two be located in the backseat.

SEL models on up add a wireless charging pad to the 2022 Santa Fe. The Blue Link remote services are also included on this trim level and higher. Select models upgrade to a 10.25-inch touchscreen and also add extras such as a Harman Kardon audio system and a digital instrument panel.

Interior Space

With both rows of seats up, the Hyundai Santa Fe has 36.4 cubic feet. This is slightly above average, and more than enough for the average family's luggage or groceries. Folding down the backseat will open up 72.1 cubic feet. While a manual liftgate is standard, most models upgrade drivers to a power liftgate instead.

Interior Features

Stain-resistant cloth upholstery is standard for the new Santa Fe. If buyers are after heated and power-adjustable front seats, they only need to go up to the SEL trim level. The Limited model takes things to the next level with ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. A heated steering wheel is also added to this model. For a truly luxurious experience, the Calligraphy gives the 2022 Santa Fe genuine quilted leather upholstery and ambient interior lighting.

Exterior Design

All models of the new Santa Fe have bright LED headlights and stunning alloy wheels. With the exception of the base SE, this SUV also comes with roof rails. Available for the SEL and standard on higher trim levels are upscale features like a panoramic sunroof and a hands-free power liftgate. Those who want a unique look for their Santa Fe should check out the XRT, which has roof rack cross rails, unique side steps, and exclusive dark chrome exterior trim.

Note: All Hyundai Santa Fe MSRP, invoice and dealer cost dollar figures above are subject to change without notice.

A note about rebates: Most rebates are subtracted from the "on the road" figure. In most cases, you can have the rebate if you are arranging your own financing or you are paying cash. If you decide to use the manufacturer’s low interest financing, you do not usually get the rebate. Ask your dealer for details.
