As the first batch of automobile manufacturers in China built in the 1980s, Haima’s exposure in the past two years is easily overlooked, with few models and weak products. These are the impressions left by the seahorse of the past two years. Even I chatted with the staff of the manufacturer and said: I used to test drive your car in the past few years. Recently, there are really too few test drive opportunities.
Unexpectedly, the hippocampus is holding back its big move.
When I first saw Seahorse 8S, my eyes widened. Too many popular elements can be found on this car. Split headlights, hidden C-pillars, running water through taillights, big mouth grille, matrix LED light source. Seeing that all this is arranged in a new Haima car, some people may say that it is a bit exaggerated, but they have to admit that after these elements are put together, the car is still coordinated, and it doesn't feel strange.
For the previous appearance design, this car can be seen to be very successful. It brings design elements that young people like, and brings a sense of power, design, and fashion. At the same time, I think it also attracts the attention of young people. You know, young people nowadays are very demanding when choosing a car. It is very difficult for them to remember an independent brand like Haima. Fortunately, the design of this car is enough to make most people fall in love at first sight and leave an impression.
The number of lines makes this car seem to be composed of lines and corners The appearance looks cool, I don’t think it’s exaggerated, but a little bit of detail.
The overall layout of the interior is not a big highlight. It is also the central control floating screen, the upper and lower levels of the air-conditioning button and the central electronic gear lever. This gear lever is the same as BMW’s. "Big Drumsticks" are quite similar, and they look no stranger. The imaginable full LCD instrument also appears on the high-end models of the 8S. But this car has two points that attracted me. One is the large chrome decoration of the interior, and the other is the integrated sports seats in the front and rear rows.
Not to mention how coquettish the red stitching of the seat is, one-piece seat Chairs are becoming more and more popular now than ever, and the seats of this car can fully echo the appearance, and even you may feel a bit disappointed if you see such an appearance and open the door without an integrated sports seat.
A large number of chrome-plated decorations look "bright and blind", and many media colleagues even think that such a design is too inconsistent with the trend. But I have a different opinion. It is precisely because the interiors of most of the current models do not have such a design. I appreciate such a unique design style. Not all the large chrome decorations are "village". The interior of the Haima 8S looks very harmonious.
Regarding intelligence, this car uses the car-machine system cooperating with Baidu, most of the functions are familiar to us, such as voice operation, car networking, Baidu CarLife, etc. And so on, there are many small programs that support, such as Air Travel, etc. In addition, this car has added 8 new voice commands, such as "Armor Mode", all windows and outer loops of the car will be closed; for example, "Baby Mode", the car windows will be closed and the air conditioning will be adjusted. To 23℃, level 2 wind; for example, "smoke mode", the main driving window will open the gap, and the skylight above the head will automatically open the ventilation mode, which is very convenient and very ritual.
The wheelbase has reached 2700 mm, so there is no need to worry about the longitudinal space in the car, and the support of the rear seats is better than expected. Not only is it attractive, it is also good to use Kind of.
After talking about the design of addition, let’s talk about why the power is multiplication.
brand new powertrain, 1.6TGDI engine × Dongan 6AT transmission, naturally the two new power components are multiplied together. In the early stage of the test drive, we learned that the new power has 195 horsepower, 293 Nm, and a 100-kilometer acceleration of only 7.8 seconds. Is it really so irritable?
The power of this engine is strong enough, but we have not felt a very obvious sense of acceleration during our test drive. , May be related to the altitude of Lijiang, may also be related to the match between the transmission and the engine. The official acceleration score of 7.8 seconds to 100 kilometers was completed by professional drivers on the road surface. Our sensory acceleration is about 9 seconds. What is the specific acceleration time? We will have the opportunity to get a test drive in the future and give you another one. answer.
The 6AT from Dong’an did a good job in shifting smoothness, but what was lost was the timing of up/down. During the test drive, even in normal mode, lightly stepped on it. The throttle may not be upshifted until 3000 rpm, and downshifting is even more inactive. If you step on the throttle deeply and down by one gear at most, you always feel that acceleration is not straightforward enough.
The official introduction that the braking distance of the Haima 8S is about 42 meters, which is actually a very honest data. This is a result that many manufacturers dare not face. When Haima said it, other independent manufacturers avoided it. This is to praise the honesty of the seahorse. At the same time, I feel that the brakes are indeed somewhat soft, but whether soft or not has a complete relationship with the final braking distance. The final braking distance is still relatively reliable.
The front and rear independent suspension is what a car over four meters and five should look like. The suspension of this car performs very well, with soft front section, hard rear section, and cornering It is inevitable that there will be a side tilt when crossing a hurdle, but when crossing a hurdle, it can ensure a rapid rebound without muddy water. Such a chassis adjustment is an ideal city travel scene.
Conclusion: We don’t know if this is Haima’s desperate effort, but we did see a brand new Haima appearing in front of us, which is different from all previous Haima models. Similarly, in my opinion, we have kept up with the team, can be on an equal footing with mainstream competitors, and even put more effort into design. Such changes are making young people aware of Haima.
