Does the Haima 8S have four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
The Haima 8S does not have four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive refers to vehicles with front and rear differential linkage that drive all four wheels, where the engine's power is transmitted to all four tires, allowing all wheels to provide traction. Taking the 2020 Haima 8S as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4565mm, width 1850mm, height 1682mm, wheelbase 2700mm, minimum ground clearance 213mm, fuel tank capacity 58 liters, trunk capacity 552 liters, and curb weight 1545kg. The 2020 Haima 8S is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 143kW and a maximum torque of 293Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
My friend just bought a Haima 8S a couple of days ago and specifically checked the configurations. Currently, all versions of this model on the market are front-wheel drive only, with no four-wheel-drive option available, likely because the manufacturer aims to control costs and maintain fuel efficiency. The Haima 8S is positioned as an affordable urban SUV, primarily designed for daily commuting and regular road conditions, so a simpler drivetrain also makes it more hassle-free. If you frequently go off-road or have snow-driving needs, I’d recommend checking out competitors like the Geely Boyue or Changan CS75 in the same segment, as some of their higher trims offer four-wheel-drive options. However, the Haima 8S stands out for its budget-friendly price and practical interior, and it handles quite steadily in city driving. In short, before buying, it’s best to check the official website or confirm configuration details with a dealership to avoid misunderstandings.
