Which 2023 Santa Fe Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend sticking with the base Blue trim in the lineup, especially now that it comes with the larger infotainment touchscreen and navigation system. Among the few reasons to pay more for the SEL Premium are its upgraded audio system and surround-view camera.
