Compact SUV · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is a compact suv we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (11.5 L/100 km) and hybrid (10.0 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 5-year-old one keeps roughly 80% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
