2014 Hyundai Santa Fe: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe is a light-update model whose main change is added safety and comfort technology, led by newly offered blind-spot warning. Its engines, platform and basic lineup carry over from 2013.
About the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
3rd generation, second model year after the 2013 split between the 5-seat Santa Fe Sport and the longer 3-row Santa Fe.
Hyundai positioned the 2014 Santa Fe family as feature-rich family crossovers with more style and equipment than many mainstream rivals. The shorter Santa Fe Sport is the more athletic, easier-to-park 5-passenger version, while the longer Santa Fe focuses on third-row family duty and V6 power. Across both, Hyundai emphasized roomy cabins, strong engines, flexible seating, available AWD and a long list of comfort features rather than rugged truck-like behavior.
The 2014 family has two distinct versions: the shorter five-seat Santa Fe Sport and the longer Santa Fe with three rows and a V6. The Sport 2.0T combines a 264-hp turbo engine with leather and heated front seats, while the larger GLS seats seven and the Limited seats six with second-row captain’s chairs and a power liftgate.
