First generation (2009-2015) edit
Hawtai Motor manufactured the first-generation Hyundai Santa Fe starting from 2006 which is part of a joint venture that began in 2002.[1] One of the versions Hawtai debuted under its own brand name in 2009 was the Shengdafei or Santa Fe C9.[citation needed] Utilizing a Rover-acquired engine, it may have been priced at a significant discount to those bearing the Hyundai name.[2]
Hyundai ended its partnership with Hawtai in 2010 and production of the first generation Shengdafei ended in 2015.[3]

The second generation Hawtai Shengdafei debuted during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show. Previously known as the Hawtai A25, the Hawtai Shengdafei was positioned under the Hawtai Baolige. The second generation Hawtai Shengdafei was powered by a 1.5 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 135 hp (101 kW; 137 PS) and 200 N⋅m (148 lb⋅ft) of torque and a 2.0 liter turbo-diesel engine. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 4-speed automatic gearbox.[4]
A facelift for the second generation Hawtai Shengdafei was introduced during the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show slightly updating the exterior and interior of the model.[5] As of August 2017, the model was launched as the Hawtai Shengdafei 5, with the original Hawtai Shengdafei name being transformed into a whole series of products.[6]
The 1.5 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine power increased to 154 hp (115 kW; 156 PS) at 5,500 rpm and 215 N⋅m (159 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2,000 rpm and is paired with a 6-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
