South African Giniel de Villiers won the final stage in Cordoba, Argentina. with Sainz ninth.
Austrian Matthias Walkner was the overall winner in the motorcycle race, with Australia's Toby Price (KTM), winner of the 2016 Dakar bike race, third in the general classification.
"I am very happy because this was a very difficult Dakar, I needed this victory," Sainz said.
