2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Price Increases by up to $725

The Hyundai Santa Fe is getting upgrades for the 2021 model year, including new engine options, for an increase of up to $725 on its starting price.

For the front-wheel-drive version of its base SE model, the starting price is going up by $575 and will now be at $28,025 from last year’s $27,450. The all-wheel-drive setup, on the other hand, will cost an additional $1,700. In place of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine will be a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that delivers up to 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It is the only powertrain option for the SE, as well as the SEL variant, which is now up by $625 at $29,825.

Arriving for the higher trim levels is a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder option that offers 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. It will replace the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and will be available on the Limited and Calligraphy models, either with an FWD or AWD.

In the previous model year, the Limited was the highest Santa Fe trim level. But for 2021, Hyundai is introducing the Calligraphy variant as the new range-topper. The Limited variant will get a price increase of $725, resulting in a $39,775 price tag, while the Calligraphy will retail for $43,275.

Also joining the 2021 Santa Fe lineup are hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Hyundai, however, has yet to reveal the final pricing for these options expected to arrive later in 2021.
