The 2014 model year

Overview

Hyundai's 2014 US Elantra family covered three body styles: the four-door Sedan, two-door Coupe, and five-door GT. Sedan SE and Limited used the 145-hp 1.8-liter engine, while Sedan Sport, Coupe, and GT used the 173-hp 2.0-liter GDI engine; Hyundai offered manual and automatic choices only on Sedan SE, Sedan Sport, and GT.

Year over year

What changed

  • A new Sedan Sport paired the 2.0-liter GDI engine with sport-oriented chassis and appearance equipment.
  • The former Coupe GS and SE were consolidated into one automatic-transmission Coupe model.
  • Sedan, Coupe, and GT body styles shared the Elantra family but retained distinct dimensions and equipment.

Worth knowing

Notable

  • The 2014 lineup spanned sedan, coupe, and hatchback bodies.
  • GT offered the family's largest cargo volume, while Coupe was automatic-only.

Living with it

Reliability & ownership notes

  • Use the body style, trim, and engine together when selecting service or replacement parts; the 1.8-liter and 2.0-liter applications are not interchangeable.
  • The brochure distinguishes ULEV and lower-output PZEV calibrations for the 2.0-liter engine.

Maintenance & service parts

Keep your 2014 Elantra on the road

Start with the service interval, then match the engine or exact version you own. Order links appear only when a catalog-backed part number is available, and every listing still needs a fitment check.
