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, 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's new MPV debuted in 2016. The Haima V70 succeeded the Freema, which still relied on first generation Mazda Premacy technology. It was quickly renamed Haima Family 7 and recently received a quick makeover, and yet another new name: Haima Family F7. Sadly for Haima, sales are very poor.
