Hawtai Santa Fe
The Hawtai Shengdafei (Santa Fe in English) is a first generation Hyundai Santa Fe. Hyundai had initially negotiated the possibilities of local production with JAC. When that deal fell through and Hawtai started production of the Santa Fe, JAC took revenge by copying the design and launching the S1 Rein, which also undercut the price of the Hyundai and even the Shengdafei. Read more about this story and other models that continued production in China after having been retired from their original market. Hawtai launched a new generation Shengdafei, developed by the brand on its own, in China late 2014.
