Hyundai Santa Fe key replacement and programming
Santa Fe has been Hyundai’s mid-size SUV since 2001. From 2013 to 2018 it was sold alongside a shorter Santa Fe Sport, so check which one your registration shows.
Santa Fe key systems by model year
Year ranges follow Santa Fe generations and are approximate. Trim, build date and factory options can change the system within a year, so we confirm it from your VIN before dispatch.

Lost every Santa Fe key?

Important compatibility notice — final key compatibility must be confirmed
The key images, vehicle models, and year ranges shown on this page are provided as a general identification guide and may not apply to every vehicle. The manufacturer may use different key systems within the same model year depending on trim level, production date, manufacturing location, ignition type, and factory equipment. Final compatibility must be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN, ignition type, existing key or fob, and vehicle information before service. The images are representative examples and do not guarantee an exact visual match.
A current registration or title and matching government-issued photo identification must be verified before automotive key, lock, or immobilizer service is performed.
