Haima 8S

My Haima 8S, a compact SUV, has a stylish and sporty exterior with a large hexagonal black grille, "squinted" LED DRLs, unique polygon headlights, distinct waistlines, a floating roof, and integrated black taillights. Its dimensions (4565/1850/1682mm, 2700mm wheelbase) offer good space; front and rear seats are comfortable with ample legroom even when fully loaded, and the 552L trunk is regular and expandable. Powered by a 1.6T turbo engine (195hp) with 6AT, it delivers responsive acceleration—light throttle in the city, strong power at 20km/h, and reserve power at 100km/h, excelling on highways with轻快 throttle and good handling. The suspension is comfortable for city roads, with soft but not loose底盘, 213mm ground clearance ensuring great passability.隔音 is average: slight engine and tire noise at 60km/h, noticeable engine, tire, and wind noise at 90-120km/h, but acceptable for its class.

My review of the Haima 8S: Its strengths include a stylish and sporty design with distinctive split headlights, a sharp side腰线, and eye-catching贯穿式 taillights. The interior has a sporty feel with a 10-inch infotainment screen. The seating space is good for a compact SUV; I (174cm) have 1拳 of headroom in the front and 4指 of headroom plus 2拳 of legroom in the back. The rear seats fold down for extra cargo space, though not perfectly flat. Fuel economy is acceptable for daily use, with combined 8.6L/100km, highway 7.2L/100km, and city (8km congested) 9.8L/100km. The 1.6T engine offers ample power, with responsive throttle and smooth acceleration, making driving轻快. Noise control is excellent at idle and low speeds, with manageable wind and tire noise at high speeds for normal conversation.

However, the suspension lacks sufficient support, leading to noticeable body roll during fast cornering or lane changes. The interior's chrome trim reflects sunlight strongly on sunny days, which can be a distraction while driving. The mid-low trim level has不合理配置 distribution: only 2 airbags, no rear armrest, LED headlights, or rear center headrest, compromising safety and rear comfort, yet it includes cruise control, snow mode, and power-adjustable side mirrors; I would prefer the former features over the latter.

【Exterior】The Haima 8S features the latest family design language with a large hexagonal "starry sky" grille for high recognition. Sleek daytime running lights, rectangular headlights, integrated taillights, and a floating roof create a dynamic, youth-oriented look.

【Space】With dimensions 4565/1850/1682mm and a 2700mm wheelbase, space is ample. I'm 176cm tall; front headroom is 1 fist + 2 fingers, rear legroom nearly 2 fists. Ergonomic seats offer strong support. Rear AC vents, armrest with cup holders, and a 552L trunk enhance practicality.

【Performance】Powered by a 1.6T engine (195hp) with 6AT, it delivers responsive acceleration. Turbo kicks in at 20km/h, providing strong power and a noticeable push. Even at 100km/h, there's reserve power for a second surge. It excels on highways with brisk throttle and active gear shifts.

【Suspension】Front MacPherson + rear multi-link setup balances comfort and support. It filters bumps well but transmits slight road vibrations, likely due to its sporty chassis.

【Chassis/Noise】Comfort-tuned chassis handles vibrations softly with minimal aftershocks over speed bumps. Noise isolation is decent: slight tire/wind noise below 60km/h; wind noise is manageable at 120km/h, but tire and engine noise become more prominent.
