Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Place: Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

Chinese name: 海马M3 (hǎimǎ M3) Year of launch: 2012

海马 means seahorse, but is actually an abbreviation of 海南马自达: Hainan Mazda. Hainan is a large island and province of China and has the size of Taiwan or Belgium. Haima is based in Hainan's capital, Haikou. History of Haima goes back to 1992, when Mazda and the Hainan local government started a joint venture for the production of Mazda cars. Mazda produced versions of the Mazda 323, 626, 929 (Luce) and MPV. The joint venture lasted until 2006, when Haima's stake was bought by FAW. FAW currently owns 49% of Haima. Haima relied on Mazda technology for quite some time, but they developed a whole line-up through the years, which currently includes the M3, Family (formerly known as M5), M6 and M8 sedans, Family 7 (formerly known as V70) MPV and S5 Young, S5 and S7 SUVs. It seems the small Fushida vans have been discontinued. Haima has always been a midpack player, sales have never really taken off considering its contemporary line-up.

The Haima M3 was launched in 2012 and is probably based on the platform of the discontinued Haima 2 Cupid hatchback. It competes with other cheap sedans, like the good old BYD F3 and Geely King Kong and Vision, offering a lot of metal for the money.
