Hyundai Santa Fe Towing by Year
The Hyundai Santa Fe’s catalog towing capacity ranges from 1,200 to 5,000 lb across the listed model years. The range covers Santa Fe models from 2001 through 2023; it is not a single rating that applies to every vehicle.
Read the figure for your specific year and configuration rather than treating the range endpoints as interchangeable. Towing capacity can vary by model year or engine, so use the catalog entry that matches your Santa Fe. The facts available here do not identify ratings for individual years, engines, or trims.
If you cannot confirm the applicable figure from the listing, check the vehicle’s door jamb or owner’s manual before towing.
Which catalog years and configurations store the highest towing ratings. These are stored min/max values, not a certified model maximum.
The largest stored change occurs between 2008 and 2009, when towing increases.
