Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

The 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe earns an 8.17/10 expert rating.

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

It stands out as a genuinely usable three-row crossover because it can seat six sizable people, and it is described as roomier and more comfortable than several competitors. The overview also points to a polished, practical package with stylish design, engaging driving dynamics, and a strong fit for family-friendly use.

With 28.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively if you want stronger value.

Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

The Santa Fe is described as sensible in terms of safety and cost of ownership, and the expert notes also call it more sophisticated than expected. In the cost-effectiveness discussion, Hyundai’s warranty coverage stands out: 5 years/60,000 miles for the limited warranty, 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain, and 5 years of roadside assistance with no mileage limit.

The expert notes also say the redesigned version rated “better than most” in a prior quality study, which points to encouraging dependability signals. The powertrain is described as strong and refined, and the cabin is noted for low noise, vibration, and harshness.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that you should still verify maintenance history carefully, since warranty coverage does not eliminate age-related wear.

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

At 57.5% 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 if the listing price looks unusually strong. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the equipment on the car matches the trim and package claims in the listing.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The GLS starts with the core Santa Fe experience, while the Limited adds leather seats, a power front passenger 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, rear side window sunshades, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a compass, and a universal garage door opener. The Limited is the better-value choice if you want the richer cabin and convenience features.
• Powertrain: The larger Santa Fe uses a 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic and Active Eco mode. It is described as strong, refined, and smooth in everyday driving.
• Safety package: Every Santa Fe includes Blue Link telematics with 3 free years of Assurance Connected Care service, including Automatic Collision Notification and SOS Emergency Assistance. Available safety gear includes a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a blind-spot information system.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes Bluetooth with audio streaming, satellite radio, an auxiliary input jack, and a USB port. Available upgrades include navigation and infotainment with an 8-inch color touchscreen, HD Radio, and a Surround Sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The Santa Fe is rated at 21 mpg in combined driving, with 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, or 24 mpg highway with AWD.

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 entry point, and it makes sense if you want the Santa Fe’s core space, V6 power, and family-friendly practicality without paying for the richer cabin upgrades. It is the trim to target if you want the lowest starting price.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim because it adds the most meaningful comfort and convenience upgrades, including leather seats, captain’s chairs, a power liftgate, blind-spot monitoring, and upgraded instrumentation. If you want the Santa Fe to feel more upscale, this is the one to buy.

The available Technology Package adds navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen, a better sound system, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, and more; on the Limited, it also adds HID headlights, LED taillights, and premium audio.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

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

The current average of $9,327 sits slightly below last year's $9,591.

That tells you the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper resale upside if you plan to sell soon. The year-over-year decline suggests the Santa Fe is not appreciating in the used market, so your future value will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and maintenance history.

If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong shape, you can still protect a decent share of value. But if you overpay now, the softer trend makes it harder to count on a quick recovery later.

Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated it Good in 4 of 5 tests.

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

The Santa Fe’s safety equipment is practical rather than flashy, with available reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and 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.

One caveat is that the IIHS had not yet assessed it in the difficult small-overlap frontal-impact test at the time of the review, so you should keep that in mind when comparing it with newer alternatives.

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:

• 28.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.75% compared with last 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 $10,169, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $9,327 average.
• It adds a turbocharged engine with stronger get-up-and-go.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the smarter starting point because prices are softer and the model is still highly practical. If you are willing to spend more for stronger acceleration, the 2015 is the alternative to compare.
