    The Santa Fe, part of Hyundai's lineup since 2001, is a small SUV with seating up to 5. Having more than average horsepower for its class, the Santa Fe packs some oomph. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), it can easily bypass mud and snow. Hyundai offers a 5-year, 60,000-mile basic warranty, and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has a score of 82, implying a 0.039% chance of driver death (3.5% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0388% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.4345%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0388% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.4345% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is 17% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is 4% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features greatly enhance occupant safety by reducing the likelihood of a crash. The following active safety systems are included even on lower trims/versions of the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FDA-PED), Lane Departure Warning System, and Blind-Spot View Monitoring.

    Another vehicle feature may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances. Side mirror turn signals are optional on the Hyundai Santa Fe. They alert other vehicles of your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other vehicle's driver to prevent an impending accident with you.

    And it is about as safe as many comparable models.
