For the 2014 Hyundai Elantra sedan, front wiper blades are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger’s side. The sedan generally does not have a rear wiper, though the related Elantra GT hatchback uses a 12-inch rear blade.
This article explains the typical blade sizes for the model year, how to verify sizes for your specific trim, and tips for choosing replacements. We’ll cover front wiper sizes first, then note rear wiper considerations for variants that include one, and conclude with ways to confirm exact sizes for your vehicle.
Front wiper blade sizes
Below is the standard sizing guidance for the front wipers on a 2014 Elantra. Sizes are given to help you shop quickly and avoid incorrect replacements.
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 16 inches
Concluding note: Using the correct driver and passenger blade sizes ensures full coverage of the windshield, proper fit on the wiper arms, and optimal wiping performance in various weather conditions. If your dealer or parts store lists alternate measurements, verify by checking your owner’s manual or the blade label.
Why blade sizes matter
Blade length determines how much area is swept with each pass and affects clear visibility. An incorrect size can leave streaks, miss sections of the windshield, or fail to fit the wiper arms properly. For the 2014 Elantra, sticking with the 26" driver and 16" passenger blades is the simplest and most reliable choice for typical trims.
Rear wiper considerations
Rear wipers are not standard on the 2014 Elantra sedan. If you are dealing with an Elantra GT hatchback or another variant that includes a rear wiper, the common size is 12 inches.
- Rear wiper (if applicable): 12 inches (for hatchback/variants with a rear wiper)
Concluding note: Since the sedan usually lacks a rear wiper, your focus should be on the front blades. If you own a hatchback or a different body style that includes a rear wiper, confirm the 12-inch size and the correct connector type before purchasing.
Where to verify sizes for your exact vehicle
To be certain, check your owner’s manual, inspect the blade currently installed (the length is often printed on the blade), or use a parts lookup by VIN at your preferred auto parts retailer. If in doubt, ask a professional to measure and confirm compatibility with your wiper arms (most Hyundai Elantras use standard J-hook or pin adapters).
How to verify sizes and replace
When replacing wipers, you can verify sizes through several quick checks:
- Refer to the owner’s manual or the label on the existing blades
- Measure the total blade length with a tape measure if needed
- Use retailer or manufacturer compatibility guides tied to your model year and trim
- Ensure the blade connector matches your wiper arm type
Concluding note: After choosing the correct sizes, follow installation instructions from the blade manufacturer or retailer to ensure proper seating and speed of operation. Regular replacement every 12 months or so, or sooner in harsh climates, helps maintain visibility.
Summary
The 2014 Hyundai Elantra typically uses 26-inch driver-side and 16-inch passenger-side front wiper blades. The sedan generally does not have a rear wiper; if you own a Hatchback Elantra GT or another variant with a rear wiper, the rear blade is usually 12 inches. Always verify your exact sizes with the owner’s manual or a parts lookup to account for trim or regional variations, and replace blades in pairs when possible for optimal performance.
