2009 Hyundai Santa Fe value
By the DealScan team · Updated 2026-07-11
Quick answer
A 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe in good condition with average mileage (about 212,500 miles) is worth roughly $5,300 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $4,900 to $5,700, or about $6,100 at a dealer. 2009 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.
