4 models tracked · Brand average $754/yr · ACI model estimates
Hyundai vehicles cost an average of $754 a year to maintain across the 4 models tracked by AutoCostIndex, ranging from the Elantra at $678 to the Santa Fe at $833. Figures are modeled estimates at 12,000 miles a year with independent-shop labor, covering scheduled maintenance and expected repairs but not fuel, insurance, or depreciation.
Known for long powertrain warranty (10yr/100k for the original owner) offsets repair risk. Worth watching: engine recall campaigns on several 2016–2021 model years. Every Hyundai we track, ranked cheapest-first by average annual maintenance cost.
