Hyundai Santa Cruz price by model year
| Year | Typical price | Spread | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | — | 5 | |
| 2024 | — | 13 | |
| 2023 | — | 6 | |
| 2022 | — | 23 |
A spread near 1.5× means the market agrees what a Hyundai Santa Cruz of that year is worth. Past 3× the listings mix tidy examples with tired ones, and a careful buyer can do well — but the exact figure for one car depends on its mileage and history, which is what the valuation tool is for.
Dealer or private seller
Both figures are measured against the median for the same model year, so age is out of the comparison and what remains is the markup itself.
| Seller | Listings | vs median year | Average asked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dealer | 90 | +2.2% | $22,383 |
What a branded title costs
A salvage or rebuilt title follows a car for life and shows up in every future sale. Here is what the market actually knocks off for it — again against the median of the same year.
| Title | Listings | vs median year | Average asked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean title | 55 | +10.2% | $24,855 |
| Rebuilt | 31 | -9.2% | $19,235 |
⚠ A discount is not automatically a bargain: branded titles are harder to insure, harder to finance and much harder to sell on. Check the specific car before assuming the saving is real — run its VIN against the records.
How fast price falls with mileage
Taken from a single model year — 2022, the one with the most Hyundai Santa Cruz listings — so the curve shows mileage alone rather than age creeping in alongside it. Between the 0–25k and 50–75k bands the asking price falls 29%.
| Mileage | Price drop | Listings |
|---|---|---|
| 0–25k miles | 6 | |
| 25–50k miles | 18 | |
| 50–75k miles | 15 |
Between the lowest and highest mileage bands the asking price falls 29%. Most of that drop happens early: the first hundred thousand miles cost far more than the second.

How we count
The Hyundai Santa Cruz figures here come from 107 live listings, 2022–2026 — asking prices, not sale prices. Sellers ask more than they get, so treat these as the top of the range, not the bottom.
Percentages here are never plain averages: each listing is first turned into its ratio against the median for its own model year, and those ratios are averaged instead. Without that step the numbers lie confidently — a flat average across 2022–2026 would mostly measure which years happen to be for sale this week. Slices too thin to survive the test are dropped rather than dressed up with an error bar, which for the Hyundai Santa Cruz leaves 4 model years standing. The full method, with the traps it avoids →
