How much does the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices are up 7.23% 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.

It stands out as one of the rare 3-row crossover SUVs that can genuinely accommodate six sizable people across three rows, and it is positioned as a midsize, 3-row, 7-passenger SUV with more sophistication than you might expect. The overview also points to roominess, comfort, safety, cost of ownership, stylish design, and engaging driving dynamics, which makes it a strong fit if you want a practical family hauler that still feels polished.

There are 27.7% good or great deals in the market, so you do have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

The 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe is described as making plenty of sense in terms of safety and cost of ownership, and the expert review also says it feels more sophisticated, roomier, and more comfortable than several competitors.

The performance notes describe a strong and refined 3.3-liter V6, a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic, and a cabin that stays pleasingly quiet because the powertrain does not generate much noise, vibration, or harshness. On the ownership side, Hyundai’s 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty, 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and 5 years of roadside assistance add meaningful protection for used buyers.

Long-term ownership risk is still worth weighing, since the model’s reliability outlook is only average and used examples can vary a lot by maintenance history.

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, suspension behavior, and any signs of uneven wear. Because this is a family-focused SUV, you should also pay close attention to seat condition, electronics, and how well the cabin features operate.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: 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, manual rear side window sunshades, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with a compass, and a universal garage door opener.
• Powertrain: The larger Santa Fe uses a 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual-shift capability; Active Eco mode is included, and AWD is available.
• Safety package: Blue Link telematics with 3 years of Assurance Connected Care is standard, including Automatic Collision Notification and SOS Emergency Assistance; a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a blind-spot information system are available, with some features tied to packages.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio input jack, and a USB port; an 8-inch touchscreen navigation and infotainment system, HD Radio, and a Surround Sound system are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The Santa Fe is rated at 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, with 21 mpg combined driving noted in the ownership discussion.

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 value-oriented choice if you want the core 3-row Santa Fe experience and plan to add packages selectively. It gives you the base structure of the model, and it can be equipped with the Premium Package and Technology Package if you want more comfort and tech.
• Limited: This is the better pick if you want the most complete version of the Santa Fe without piecing together options. It adds leather, captain’s chairs, more convenience features, and the richer equipment set that makes the cabin feel more upscale.

The Safety content notes that Blue Link telematics with Assurance Connected Care is standard, while a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a blind-spot information system are available.

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

This is a seller’s market, so you should act selectively and focus on the best-condition examples rather than rushing into the first decent-looking listing.

• Deal availability: 27.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 148 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 7.23% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 54.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,608, 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 $9,627 sits slightly above last year's $8,978.

That upward move suggests the Santa Fe has held demand well relative to its recent history. For a future seller, that can be a positive sign if your example is clean, well maintained, and priced in line with the market.

Because the year-round high is only slightly above the current average, there may be limited upside unless your vehicle is especially well equipped or unusually clean. If you buy carefully now, you should have a reasonable shot at preserving value later.

Is the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

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

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

Blue Link telematics with 3 free years of Assurance Connected Care is standard, including Automatic Collision Notification and SOS Emergency Assistance. Available safety equipment includes a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a blind-spot information system.

One caveat is that the IIHS had not assessed the Santa Fe in the difficult small-overlap frontal-impact crash test at the time of the review.

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:

• 27.7% 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 7.23% year-over-year.
• It offers a roomy, comfortable, and sophisticated 3-row package with strong family-hauler appeal.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $9,597, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $9,627 average.
• It adds a turbocharged 4-cylinder with stronger get-up-and-go.

The bottom line: If you want the more polished and practical 3-row SUV, the 2014 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending a bit less, the 2015 is worth a look, but you should weigh its safety concerns carefully.

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 comes across as the more polished and more powerful choice, while the Sorento is the cheaper used buy with a larger pool of listings. If you want the stronger overall package and can stretch your budget, the Santa Fe is the better fit. If you want lower entry cost and more inventory to shop, the Sorento has the advantage.
