We have introduced Hyundai ix35 and its related diecast models in previous post, and you know Hyundai ix35 is the variant of Hyundai Tucson but it is only being sold in China with lower price than Hyundai Tucson, the 1st generation Hyundai ix35 with codename LW was released in 2010 and the 2nd generation Hyundai ix35 with codename NU was released in 2017. 1/18 Scale Hyundai ix35 Diecast Models at Different Generations
In 2023, a new Hyundai SUV with nameplate Mufasa was released in China by joint venture Beijing Hyundai, and the codename of this Mufasa is NU2, so that it is considered as the successor of 2nd generation Hyundai ix35 or the upgraded edition of Hyundai ix35.
With the release of Hyundai Mufasa, its related diecast model can be found in the diecast market, however, its quantity is still limited until now. Pictures are here below.
As a 1/18 scale diecast model, both the exterior and interior are replica of real vehicle in detail, for example, you can clearly see the button on dashboard or the socket of safety belt inside, you can also open or close four car doors, bonnet and trunk.
Since the release of Hyundai Custo diecast model last year, which is also the only one 1/18 scale Hyundai diecast model released in 2023, and in 2024 new year, 1/18 Hyundai Mufasa diecast model was available for both collectors and vehicle owners, I hope this is not the only one 1/18 Hyundai diecast car this year because I found the quantity of new released 1/18 Hyundai models becomes less and less now.
