Call (909) 455-3660Whether you drive a brand-new Hyundai Santa Fe or an older one, Don's Locksmith can replace or duplicate your key at your location. The right key for your Santa Fe depends on its model year — here's how Hyundai Santa Fe keys have evolved.
Hyundai Santa Fe Key Types by Year
| Model Years | Typical Key Type |
|---|---|
| Santa Fe 2001–2007 | Transponder key — a transponder chip key, sometimes combined with a separate remote. Both the cut and the chip programming must match your vehicle. |
| Santa Fe 2008–2013 | Remote head key / early smart key — typically a remote head key (key and remote in one) or, on higher trims, an early proximity smart key. Cutting plus on-board programming is required. |
| Santa Fe 2014–2018 | Proximity smart key — commonly a proximity smart key with push-button start on many trims, alongside transponder keys on base models. Programming uses the vehicle’s security system. |
| Santa Fe 2019–present | Proximity smart key / push-to-start — usually a proximity smart key with push-button start, and on some vehicles phone-as-key features. A replacement must be programmed to the car’s encrypted security system. |
Key technology varies by trim and region; call us with your exact year and VIN and we'll confirm the right key for your Hyundai Santa Fe.
