How much does the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices are up 5.45% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 148 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

The 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe earns an 8.2/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

The Santa Fe is aimed at buyers who want a midsize, 3-row, 7-passenger SUV that can genuinely fit six sizable people across three rows. It is described as roomier and more comfortable than several competitors, with a stylish design and engaging driving dynamics that make it feel more polished than the average family hauler.

That balance of practicality and personality is a big part of its appeal. The expert review also points to strong safety and cost-of-ownership credentials, which helps the Santa Fe make sense if you want a family SUV that feels upscale without losing everyday usefulness.

29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

The Santa Fe is presented as a sensible choice for safety and cost of ownership, and the expert review says it makes plenty of sense in those areas. It also notes average reliability predictions from Consumer Reports and J.D. Power, while adding that the redesigned version was rated “better than most” in a prior quality study, which suggests improvement in future dependability.

Hyundai’s warranty coverage is a major ownership advantage, with a 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The review also highlights free roadside assistance for 5 years and 3 years of Blue Link service, which adds peace of mind for used buyers.

For long-term ownership, you should still plan for the usual age-and-mileage risks that come with a used SUV, especially if you are buying one that has seen family-duty use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe?

At 54.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on bodywork, alignment, and signs of prior repair. Because this is a family SUV, it is also smart to focus on seat condition, interior wear, and whether the equipment you want is actually present on the specific listing.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Santa Fe lineup includes the 5-passenger Santa Fe Sport and the larger 7-passenger Santa Fe. The larger model’s Limited trim adds leather seats, a power front passenger’s seat, second-row captain’s chairs, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless passive entry with push-button start, a power liftgate, a blind-spot information system, upgraded instrumentation, manual rear side window sunshades, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with a compass, and a universal garage door opener. The base GLS is less equipped, so feature gaps matter if you want a more upscale cabin.
• Powertrain: The larger Santa Fe uses a 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic transmission. It is described as strong and refined, with smooth shifting and enough power to move a full load of passengers without feeling winded. An optional all-wheel-drive system adds torque vectoring for improved traction and stability.
• Safety package: Available equipment includes a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a blind-spot information system. Every Santa Fe also gets Blue Link telematics with 3 free years of Assurance Connected Care, including Automatic Collision Notification and SOS Emergency Assistance. The review notes that the reversing camera and active headlights could be better, so those are worth checking closely if they matter to you.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio input jack, and a USB port. Available upgrades include HD Radio, a Surround Sound system, and a navigation and infotainment system with an 8-inch color touchscreen display. A rear-seat entertainment system is not offered.
• Fuel efficiency: The Santa Fe is rated at 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, and the review says it hit its EPA targets with a combined rating of 21 mpg.

Which 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in 2 trim levels: GLS and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• GLS: This is the starting point, and it makes the Santa Fe’s core strengths available without the higher price of the Limited. It is the trim to consider if you want the roomy three-row layout and can live without the extra luxury and convenience features.
• Limited: This is the better-value choice if you want the Santa Fe to feel fully equipped. It adds leather, second-row captain’s chairs, keyless access with push-button start, a power liftgate, blind-spot monitoring, and other upscale touches that suit the Santa Fe’s family-hauler mission.

The safety content notes that available features include a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a blind-spot information system.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe?

This is a seller’s market, so you should shop selectively and be ready to move when a strong listing appears.

• Deal availability: 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 148 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 5.45% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 54.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,600, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

The current average of $9,392 sits slightly above last year's $8,907.

That year-over-year increase suggests the Santa Fe has held demand well relative to its recent past. If you sell one, the current pricing trend should help support a reasonable asking price, especially if your SUV has a clean history and desirable equipment.

Because the market is already pricing this model above last year’s average, a well-kept example should remain easier to position than one with accident history or missing features. If you are buying now, that same trend means you should focus on condition and equipment rather than assuming a bargain will appear automatically.

Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

The 2014 Santa Fe received the highest rating of Good in 4 of 5 IIHS tests.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Santa Fe includes a useful safety suite centered on practical features rather than gimmicks. Available equipment includes a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a blind-spot information system, while every Santa Fe gets Blue Link telematics with Automatic Collision Notification and SOS Emergency Assistance.

The review also flags a couple of shortcomings: the reversing camera could use a wider field of view, and active headlights are not included. The IIHS note is also worth keeping in mind, since the rating cited here was based on available features and existing crash-test results rather than the difficult small-overlap test.

Should I buy a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 54.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 5.45% year-over-year.
• The 2014 stands out for being roomier and more comfortable than several competitors, while still feeling stylish and engaging to drive.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $9,557, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $9,392 average.
• It adds a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with stronger get-up-and-go.

The bottom line: The 2014 is the better pick if you want the stronger value proposition and the more polished family-SUV feel. If you are price-sensitive and want to stay closer to the current market average, the 2014 is the smarter target; if you want the newer-year turbocharged character, the 2015 is the alternative to compare.

How does the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe compare to the 2014 Kia Sorento?

Our experts score the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe 8.2/10 and the 2014 Kia Sorento 7.3/10.

The Santa Fe brings the stronger expert score, a more powerful V6, and a roomier, more comfortable three-row layout. The Sorento is cheaper on average and has more listings, but the Santa Fe’s higher-end feel and stronger overall package make it the more compelling choice if you want the better-rounded family SUV.
