As the first Hyundai SUV, the 1^st generation Hyundai Santa Fe with codename SM was released in 2000. In Hyundai's lineup, Hyundai Santa Fe is a milestone model because it is the symbol that Hyundai's entry into the SUV market to meet buyers' needs.

When it comes to Hyundai models in the Chinese market, everyone only knows that these cars are produced by the joint venture Beijing Hyundai. In fact, before the establishment of Beijing Hyundai, Hyundai cooperated with another company named Hawtai, and the 1^st generation of Hyundai Santa Fe was produced by Hawtai with Chinese name Hawtai Shengdafei. In 2010, the partnership between Hyundai and Hawtai ended, but Hawtai Shengdafei was still produced until 2015.

As for the diecast model of Hawtai Shengdafei. It was on the market before, but it's hard to find now. We will update this product on our website if we can find it in the future.

In 2005, the 2^nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe with codename CM was launched. However, Hyundai Santa Fe in this generation was not produced and sold in China, and no related diecast models were released.

In 2012, the 3^rd generation Hyundai Santa Fe with codename DM/NC was released, and the difference between DM and NC is that DM is the short-wheelbase version, which is mainly marketed in the North American, while NC is the long-wheelbase version. In some countries, this long-wheelbase Santa Fe is also known as the Grand Santa Fe.

The 3^rd generation Hyundai Santa Fe produced by the joint venture Beijing Hyundai was launched in 2013. At that time, in addition to the 3^rd generation Hyundai Santa Fe, the 1^st generation Hyundai Santa Fe produced by Hawtai also appeared on the market at the same time. In 2015, Hawtai released the 2^nd generation Hawtai Shengdafei, but this model has no relationship with Hyundai Santa Fe.

If you are interested in the Hyundai diecast model of the 3^rd generation Hyundai Santa Fe, for example, you want to put the model in the office or home as a decoration, or you want to give it as a gift to your friends who are the Hyundai car owners, you can choose the 1/18 Hyundai Santa Fe diecast models because of the realistic exteriors, interiors and moving parts such as opening car doors, hood and boot like the real car.

Pay attention, there are two different versions of this 3rd generation Hyundai Santa Fe diecast model, one is the global version Santa Fe while the other is the Santa Fe in Chinese version. Different colors such as brown, silver and wine are are available for buyers, you can select any one according to your needs, however this 3^rd generation Hyundai Santa Fe diecast model in white is very rare and it is more expensive with no doubt.
