2014 Hyundai Sonata Review: A Comfortable Sedan With Some Minor Updates

Dec 3, 2021

The 2014 Hyundai Sonata is a midsize sedan with a price range of $12,224 to $16,579. The Sonata is more expensive than rivals, but is a fine choice if you’re looking for a daily driver with an upscale interior for the price.

The Good

The interior in the 2014 Sonata has better materials than other midsize cars, is relatively quick with the turbocharged engine, and rides smoother than other sedans.

The Bad

The 2014 Sonata is missing the latest safety technology found in rivals. There are some engine problems covered by a recall, and it’s noisier than the competition.

You can warm your seats with the push of a button for low or high setting.

There are no issues with my car. It rides smooth and quiet. It gets great gas mileage and is very reliable and comfortable to ride in with plenty of room. I bought it with low mileage at 18, 000 and I do not rack up a bunch of miles every year. It has power locks, power windows, tinted windows, CD player, cruise control, Bluetooth. I love my car!

Hyundai Sonata: great car!

I absolutely love my car!! It has a twin turbo so it goes fast, but it has an eco setting that I love as well for long trips!! It gets pretty decent gas mileage and it is very roomy! The heated seats are amazing when it is cold, and it drives very smoothly. I didn't know how to feel when I first bought it but I am so glad I did, I love it!

Hyundai Sonata, great car for lower budgets!

Love the style and slightly-sporty look of the Hyundai Sonata! I have a low income, so had to look into buying an older, used car. Key features I desired were safety features (such as seat belt alert, automatic/alert braking, blind spot car detector, alert for if you begin to swerve out of your lane, etc), a rear view camera for backing up, and a Bluetooth system. This car has all of my desired features, except for ALL of my desired safety features (only beeps to put on seat belt, no blind spot detector/swerving lane detector/automatic braking). So I do have Bluetooth where I can easily tell the robot lady different commands, call people, play music, etc. And the rear back up camera. Many other features such as an eco button and steering wheel control buttons. Overall, for my budget, I am extremely pleased with my Sonata!

Christina B

Great gas mileage and dependable.

Great car all around, great gas mileage, comfortable, roomy, enough trunk space, great for traveling.

sallee r

Everyone should know that this car drives great and rides very smooth

I like how smoothly it drives, the backup camera, the gas mileage. I dislike the tan seats and dash

Paula P

Loving My Hyundai Sonata!

Automobile is 100% reliable, comfortable and easy to drive with upkeep and maintenance done as prescribed by dealer. The gas mileage is low - spend approximately $80.00 per month on fill-ups (drive M-F to work is 25 miles round trip). The car features especially the reverse camera and indicator of an oncoming vehicle beep; and the side mirror lights and beep also indicating oncoming automobiles in blind spots are invaluable as a driving help.

Headlight and taillight issues

The only problems I had were actually covered under the warranty so did not come out of pocket. The head and tail lights melted but it was covered by the vehicle warranty. Another issue but I never noticed have there have been several recalls but they fix them and need me out of the loop.

Alexander B

It is great on gas mileage.

It is just a great car. Runs well and has not had issues. Good price for how nice the car is especially since it is a limited edition.

Negative Owner Reviews

If it was a horse, I'd shoot it

There is nothing good to say about this car! We purchased it 9moths ago, under 50,000 and under warranty. Granted, we were not first owners, but less than 50,000 miles and still under warranty seemed to be a safe buy. Not so much. The motor has now been completely replaced, we have put over $1000 into it as well trying to figure out a problem blamed on the motor. Replacing the motor did not resolve the problem! We picked the car up from dealership that did the replacement and didnt even have the car back an hour before it died on us again and wouldn't crank. The car still has warranty for what good it's doing us. Because of the "low miles", it put us in for around $10,000. Not an easy payoff trade situation! Frankly nobody with sense would want this car. I guess the only recourse is to park the thing and be a one vehicle family. Ten thousand dollars for a yard ornament.

Renae R

Nice on inside and outside.

Sometimes it will not start, no warning lights come on dash it just will not start. Dealership does not know how to fix it and a lot of people have the same problem based on online reviews. They should've done a recall on the car. Other than that it is a nice car both interior and exterior.

Susan D

Engine went out at 9000 miles

I have a turbo 2014, engine went out at 9000 miles, they have more recalls then one can count. When I take it in 3 times the dealer didn’t connect the turbo back up after replacing engine, recalls and other issuses. Want to charge 5000 for new electrical when mouse chewed on wires, cost me 126.00 over a year ago and no issues with electrical. I do have a emission issue now, don’t want to bring it back because I promise I will have to bring back again hook up turbo!

Jeff K

Don't buy a Hyundai ever, they are junk.

Has had multiple issues from engine seizing requiring a new engine to annoying things like car locks breaking and plastic closures on glove box breaking and several other things either not covered under warranty or doesn't get fixed properly despite multiple trips to dealer. Can't wait to get rid of and never buy a Hyundai again.

Kristen L

Buyers beware several recalls

The bulbs are always going out in the headlights and brake lights. There is a strange engine noise when you turn the car off and when idling. Also the armrest console latch snapped off and no longer stays closed. The car only seems comfortable for long drives in the driver's seat. There are also several recalls that required attention at the dealership. The only positive about the vehicle is that it drives pretty smooth.

Nancy M

Paint and visibility problems, road noise. Good gas mileage and comfortable

The clear coating on door handle have all come loose or off, now I noticed that the same thing is happening on the main body. I also have problems with the visibility out windows. You do hear road noise. It does get good mpg and It is comfortable. I like the steering wheel has easy controls

Abdullah A

Don't buy this vehicle, very unsatisfied customer here.

Feetures are good, it has keyless entry, navigation system and any other tech option in any new car. I hate this car because the engine suddenly stopped working became lock while I was on the highway, although it was in the Hyundai service center for a full checkup very near not more than 3 months. The mileage was 106k only.

Elaine G

It is a lemon, a lot of things are wrong with it

My car has a lot of problems. The steering wheel makes a rattling sound

What Problems Does the 2014 Hyundai Sonata Have?

The 2014 Hyundai Sonata’s problems include risk of engine fire, seatbelt failure, and a sticky steering wheel. The 2014 Sonata has fewer problems than the 2013 and 2015 model years, and is a great choice. The Sonata also has a lower number of complaints compared to other midsize cars.

Engine problems, including the engine seizing up, are the most serious problems owners report with the Sonata. If an engine seizes up while driving, the only solution is to replace the entire motor, which costs over $3,500. Depending on the source of the failure the costs may be covered under the 10-year 100,000-mile warranty. A recall also addresses the bearings which lead to failures in some cases.

Brake lights burning out are another issue owners have with the Sonata. The lights tend to burn out faster than other cars. If you notice bulbs burning out fast, you may need to replace the tail light housing.

Air conditioning problems are also mentioned by owners. Most frequently caused by either a freon leak or a condenser failure which will cause the system to not cool properly.

There are six recalls affecting the Sonata, average for a 2014 car. The recalls include a transmission shift cable, seat belt linkages, engine bearings, high-pressure fuel pipes, and the low-pressure fuel hose. All are important to address, but the engine bearings are the most serious since failures can cause the engine to seize up.

What are the Prices, Models & Specs?

The 2014 Hyundai Sonata is more expensive than other midsize cars, with a price range of $12,244 to $16,579 depending on the model and mileage. When new, the retail price was $21,450 to $28,650. Depreciation is average, losing about 40% of the value in the first five years.

GLS is the entry-level model and comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, cloth seating, air conditioning, power mirrors & windows, and a six-speaker stereo system with a CD player as well as USB and Bluetooth connectivity.
SE is above the GLS in the lineup and has 18-inch alloy wheels, upgraded cloth seating, paddle shifters, leather-wrapped steering wheel, carbon-fiber interior trim, push-button start, as well as a 4.3-inch infotainment screen.
Limited is the flagship choice with 17-inch aluminum wheels, leather seating, heated & ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control, blind-spot detection, panoramic sunroof, and an eight-inch infotainment screen.

Annoying failures at 6 yr / 70k

Still drives well but lots of issues with nonessential parts: speakers blew; electrical issues causing lights to turn off/on during driving if on auto setting; AC stopped working; relay in heat box stopped working; key fob receiver stopped working; drivers side window buttons broke off from regular usage

Keisha B on June 24, 2021

Too many recalls on the Hyundai sonatas.

The vehicle is very efficient on gas. Somewhat stylish exterior and interior. Very comfortable for long drives. But has recalls on the engine and other things. I have had to have it repaired more often than I'd like to. If there’s wasn’t the recall issues I would be extremely satisfied with the car.

Chris P on June 24, 2021

Tons of recalls and warranty seems great but company tries to get out of repairs.

Good gas saver. Decent pickup. Tons of recalls. Warranty is very strict and must keep all paperwork.

Roger M on June 24, 2021

Maintenance issues I feel Hyundai has too many recalls

Too many recalls and service issues Cost a lot of money to service

Jocelyn Y on June 24, 2021

Recalls on the Hyundai sonata.

This vehicle had a lot of recalls. And I seem to have to keep getting work done on it frequently. I think they need to recall the whole car instead of different parts here and there. This car should not be sold anymore and they should give every owner or lessor another make and model.

Julian P on June 24, 2021

Beautiful car! I love it! Super awesome! Yay!

It has a recall but good car. I like it and it has nice interior and stuff. And I don't know what else to say but it has good gas mileage I guess. It has seatbelts and all the car essentials stuff. It is pretty cool and it goes fast and I think it is reliable. I haven't taken the best care of mine but it is been good so far.

Alexis M on June 23, 2021

Why I love my Hyundai sonata.

I love my 2014 Hyundai sonata gls. It is a very reliable car for me. I have had it for about 3 years and I have had no issues except ones that I caused. It is good on gas and on the highway. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I would encourage anyone to get any type of Hyundai vehicle.

Emily S on June 20, 2021

My favorite car to drive.

Super comfortable. Everything is within reach. Nice sleek features. Really enjoy the collision cameras on the side mirrors. The back up camera is also really nice. Did have one problem, due to a recall, but dealership fixed and was not a problem since.

Nancy G on June 13, 2021

Has touch screen. Also has a sunroof, push start, and navigation.

Extremely high tech for a 2014 vehicle. It is very reliable. Have had it for 4 years and have only had to repair a small part inside of the steering wheel that was covered by manufacturers warranty. Car detailing is very nice. Super comfortable seats.

Donna S on June 12, 2021

Do not buy a Hyundai: this corporation does not take responsibility.

The car handles have broken several times. This is known to Hyundai. They have apparently chosen not to take responsibility for this. It has been costly to replace these handles. I would not buy a Hyundai because they do not stand behind their manufacturing.

Kyle H on June 11, 2021

2014 Hyundai sonata: great car!

Shaky start, overall great car. We had some issues with this car when we first received it but under warranty the engine was replaced and it has been perfect since. Comfy seats (they stain easy), good Bluetooth, easy car to drive and good on gas! Perfect first car.

Erin P on May 25, 2021

Dependable, affordable nice vehicles.

Haven't had any problems, I love Hyundai’s they are very dependable and built well. I crashed my last Hyundai (Santa Fe) and it saved my life. Also had a Hyundai Elantra when it first came out and when I traded it in the mileage was almost 300k and never had an issue. I drive a lot for work and can always depend on a Hyundai.

Heather K on May 22, 2021

Sonata limited edition-maximum flaws.

Front and rear axle replaced twice. Bushings replaced twice. Air conditioner super working. Front defrost system replaced. Good gas mileage. Moonroof. Dashboard touchscreen. Keyless remote fob. Tinted windows. Rear mirror for reverse assist. Sharp looking car. Spoiler.

Sheila B on May 18, 2021

Defect detected and restored.

I am pleased about the comfort and features of my vehicle. For the first two years the performance and reliability were great; but come to find out there was a defect in the engine. There were several recalls relating to the defective engine. I had a total overhaul of the engine! Now it is performing great.

Samantha G on May 18, 2021

Hyundai sonata is very spacious and is a great car for the money you pay.

There are a couple problems I have with this car. The passenger seat will not adjust up and down. It only goes back and forth. So every single passenger I have feels like they are so low and the dashboard is pretty high. I thought this was kind of weird because the driver seat can go up and down.

Claudia Kuhns on May 17, 2021

Beware of major system failures

When I first purchased my Hyundai Sonata, I really liked it, now not so much. A year and a half ago with less than 34,000 miles, the both constant velocity axels had to be replaced. This is definitely substandard. I have had front wheel drive vehicles since 1976 and never had to have these axels replaced. Within the last month, a piece fell off of the brake intensifier hose. Unfortunately it is no longer covered under warranty, not even the extended warranty I purchased. This repair cost over $600.00. Since I keep my car parked in the garage, these things should not have happened. Fortunately, I the brakes failed as I was backing out of my garage and not when I was out on the highway somewhere. The service rep at the dealership said this brake problem almost never happens. Given that two major problems have happened with this car, I will likely never purchase another Hyundai. I have tried dealing with the Hyundai corporate representatives, one of whom led me to believe that Hyundai would pay for the brake repair and then they didn't pay for it.

Cooper T on May 14, 2021

This car has been an amazing investment, have really enjoyed the car.

I haven’t really had any problems with me. Car. It has been a great car, and I recommend it to everyone. The eco mode in it is wonderful, saves you lots of gas. The car is very comfortable and can seat people in the back seats very comfortably. Really everything about this car has been amazing! I have never regretted the purchase, not a single time.

Dannielle W on May 13, 2021

Overall a great car! Drives comfortably with a great sound system too!

I really enjoy the size of the sonata. It is not so small that I feel unsafe but, it is not a massive boat either. I love how smooth it drives. I love the sound system in the car as well and the Bluetooth features. Sometimes the auxiliary hook up fails but, if I turn the car on and off it will work again. The gas mileage is a benefit too. I can go on 3-4 hour road trips without having to stop once for gas.

Melissa C on May 4, 2021

Reliable but not comfortable.

Car is very reliable and good on gas mileage. It is not that comfortable especially on long trips. One of my main issues is the blind spots when backing out of parking spaces or passing on interstate. It is low to the ground and people who are short in stature have problems setting over the steering wheel.

Jack T on April 29, 2021

Engine could fail at any time. Seats are comfy and nice dashboard

It is comfortable. Too many recalls and hard to get appointments.

Harpreet S on April 29, 2021

Reliability with a dash of styling.

I really like the reliability of my Hyundai sonata. I have only had one issue with the engine in 6 years. Also, the acceleration is great. In addition, I like that the engine has both an 'eco' and 'sport' mode. Also, I get great fuel economy, last, it has ample trunk space.

Sam G on April 25, 2021

Love my sonata, couldn’t ask for a better car.

My 2014 sonata has always been reliable, efficient on gas, comfortable and stylish. My family is a “sonata family” - many of us have various years and all love them. My only issues have been manufacturer recalls that were fixed promptly at the dealership at no cost.

Alicia P on April 23, 2021

Overall, it is a good car and reliable to get you from a to b.

It has no interior problems, but exterior has some issues with paint coming off on the handles. It has great performance on the other hand and it is reliable, has good features, and also comes with a backup and Bluetooth which I love. It has heated seats, lots of room, and comfortability.

Brittany M on April 20, 2021

It is a great and spacious car!

My vehicle is a really good and spacious car! My whole family has the same exact car and we love the brands! They are super spacious with a huge trunk! It is great big you have children because there is enough room in the backseat for them! I love mine and so does not my family! I would recommend these vehicles to everyone!

Alexis S on April 18, 2021

Simply beautiful craftsmanship of 2014 Hyundai sonata.

Very spacious interior with beautiful trim work. Plenty of space for everything needed on a day to day basis. The speakers are amazing even though they are stock. The trunk has enough room for all the necessities of groceries needed for everyone. Drives very smoothly and take turns and corners amazing.

Tiarra M on April 8, 2021

You should consider buying a Hyundai.

I love my sonata very comfortable and spacious. Great on gas and love how it tells you what’s wrong. I would advise anyone to buy it. I absolutely love my car. I have driven it out of town and it didn't take much gas I was comfortable driving and it feels nice and smooth.

Alison P on April 3, 2021

Detailed 2014 Hyundai sonata review.

The Hyundai sonata has several issues with wiring and lighting. The brake lights and signal lights go out often. The screen will sometimes have a Chinese box appear and the screen will shut off. Other than that, it is a pretty reliable vehicle. I would actually recommend it for anyone purchasing a vehicle.

Emily A on April 3, 2021

Amazing car with great perks!

My car is fantastic- great on gas mileage ( I average between 25-32 mph) and is very reliable! It is very roomy (holds 2 car seats and 2 adults no problem) and handles great! There are custom setting for handling options to set for your preference on handling.

Fernando P on April 3, 2021

Pinzon Hyundai sonata limited 2.0l review.

I just found out there is a extended warranty for the engine. There Is Debris when they built the engine. So the engine can break down. But the performance of the car is good. I have no issues or complaints with the new engine. The model I have is better looking than the new models.

Jade C on April 1, 2021

Hyundai Sonata 2014 - lots of good features.

It drives really well. We haven't had any problems with the engine, the only problems we have had are from tires. I love the seat warmers, and the gas mileage. It provides high visibility when backing up and when driving. It has lots of modes to control how the steering wheel turns, which is really amazing. My husband can change it when he drives. It also has an eco button, which gives you better mileage when you are on the freeway. Overall we feel like it is a very safe car for our family.

Gwen S on March 31, 2021

I would buy a Hyundai again.

I have had very few problems with my sonata since I bought it. It is been very reliable. I did have a small issue with the automatic lights turning off when they should have stayed on. I now just use the regular on off feature till I can get it into the shop. To me, it still feels like a new car.

Brenda A on March 31, 2021

Great quality! Great service! Smooth driving! Bluetooth awesome!

Nothing. I love my car it drives fast and smooth. It has nice seat and warms the seats. My Bluetooth works perfectly and any call hears me clearly with no problems. I love everything about this model of the Hyundai. The car is very great on gas I put $40 in that lasted me two days on a full tank before it even went below one night the car most of all rise great and it has great detailing inside as long as the screen is on it is basically like you are driving with assistance. The car also have waze on the car where you can press a button to actually help with new coming driving when it comes down to actually like turning on the road or having like slippery will have a little back up having a back up camera on the back of the vehicle is a big sport as well. If it is your first car then this is your best bet.

Cynthia N on March 31, 2021

Great car at a great price!

I have owned this car for over a year now and it is by far my favorite I have ever owned. Rides comfortable and has never left me stranded! It is got lots of get up and go and the heated seats are a must. Backup camera is accurate and love my touchscreen display.

Roberta C on March 28, 2021

The Sonata has a very comfortable and smooth ride, and is also good on gas.

I love my car as it gives me a smooth ride. It is good on gas and very comfortable to ride in. The trunk is fairly large and the back seats go down if I need to make it larger.

Danielle M on March 26, 2021

The gas mileage is great on this car. I would definitely recommend.

I really enjoy my vehicle. It has great gas mileage and gets me from A to B. It fits me very well and it has a lot of space.

Maria R on March 26, 2021

My favorite car have many options for comfort.

Hyundai sonata offers comfort driving, it runs great, gas saver. Offers great space for passengers. Also you can activate the eco mode to save more gas. The power steering offers sport mode, comfort mode and normal mode. Also it is really light the power steering.

Phill L on March 26, 2021

Quality of the sound system was great!

Car has not been driven much but the car has been very reliable. Comfort and the pickup are both ok but I thought my Altima sport turbo was slightly more comfortable and definitely had much more pickup. I did like the sound system in the sonata and had speakers in the front, back and on the sides.

Aaron R on March 22, 2021

Perfect family car. Great gas mileage. Comfortable control and seating.

Gas mileage is outstanding. Car is big enough to accommodate kids as well as grocery runs. Available features for the car are outstanding along with heated seats and Bluetooth receiver. Car controls comfortably and has provided me with a reliable transportation for 2 years at the time of writing this. I would fully recommend this car to anyone considering the price range. One side note is that there was a recall on this vehicle, but it was handled really well.

Linda J on March 21, 2021

Drives smooth. I have a pearl white Hyundai with black interior

It has been a great car. No problems. This is my second Hyundai I have owned. It provides 100,000 miles or 10 year warranty. Can't go wrong with this vehicle. The dealership is wonderful to deal with as well. I get free oil changes the 1st three years. Only one recall on this vehicle. They gave me a loaner car and had my car back to me within 4 hours.

Julie R on March 17, 2021

In love with my Hyundai sonata best car I have ever bought.

The stock stereo system is great! I love having my controls for the radio on my steering wheel! Being able to hook my phone up to the car via Bluetooth and talk while I am driving has been a life saver! Car rides really smooth and gets around great! Best car I have bought yet!

Jeff K on March 16, 2021

If you are thinking about buying a Hyundai, reconsider.

Engine seized and it needed to be replaced. Lots of silly issues with the car with plastic pieces breaking, door lock breaking, etc. Really unhappy with service of Hyundai as well as some of these items not fixed under warranty or required multiple trips to be repaired when under warranty.

Stephanie M on March 16, 2021

2014 Hyundai Sonata silver.

My gas mileage has never been good on this vehicle. I had a 2011 Sonata which had much better gas mileage. Other than that, the vehicle is pretty great. I love all of the features and spacious room inside. The steering handles pretty well, you can change from normal to sport steering on your steering wheel. Bluetooth and Audio controls are on the steering wheel. I also do not like the knobs for the temperatures, I liked the little person that had buttons to push.

Diana W on March 15, 2021

Sonata - reliable and roomy.

My car is roomy and comfortable. We have had no problems with the car. We follow scheduled maintenance with the dealer are suggested. The car is a bit too large for me. It does a good job of getting me around. It has never broken down on me.

Nicole S on March 11, 2021

It also has an ecoboost button you can press to turn on and off

My fiance bought my Hyundai Sonata for Valentine's Day and I've fallen in love in the past 5 months. It's absolutely amazing. It's great on gas, drives so smooth and the seats are pretty comfortable for road trips. For it to be a car it's pretty roomy as well considering I have 2 toddlers in the back seat

Benefits of a Hyundai sonata!

My car has great gas mileage and trunk space. The ride is smooth and the extra features of the seat warmers and air conditioned seats are wonderful additions. The rear view camera and safety features are some of my favorite parts of the car. The moonroof and leather interior make the car seem fancy/superior to other cars.

The Hyundai sonata is modern, comfortable, and reliable.

Modern and comfortable but the sonata is not ostentatious. Bluetooth capability is important to me and this sedan's speakers are good as well. The car is easy to drive but that is par for the course for this brand. Obviously, it is their flagship sedan so it is not flashy but it is reliable.

Everyone should know that this car drives great and rides very smooth

I like how smoothly it drives, the backup camera, the gas mileage. I dislike the tan seats and dash

2014 Hyundai sonata is a solid purchase.

I love most things about the 2014 Hyundai sonata - great has efficiency, nice finishing a for the price. Clean lines on the exterior. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the body is lightweight and it does not handle well in snow and ice. I am curious about the hybrid model for my next vehicle purchase, as I am likely to purchase a sonata again.

The back seat folds down in two sections so you can put down one single seat.

I have not had any issues with my car (outside of normal, expected repairs for any vehicle). I love the way it handles and has 3 separate modes, sport, comfort, and normal. I use the eco feature all the time to make my gas last longer. It is great for me and my two dogs to travel. I would definitely buy it again!

It is a solid and safe car.

It has good pick up and good gas mileage.. The gps building is a pain to use and the sync to my phone is just okay.

Great for long road trips!

I enjoy my Sonata. Great on gas. Drives Smooth and great for long trips. It has had a few recalls and the heated seat sensor has gone out. Not the greatest car speakers (Sonata should put in Bose speakers). Has a deep trunk and plenty of legroom.
