2009 Haima is equipped with an imported engine. Here are the extended details: 1. Engine type: The 2009 Haima engine is a fully imported Mazda ZMII powertrain system. It features a straight-four cylinder, overhead camshaft, 16-valve configuration with VICS (Variable Inertia Charging System). 2. Engine environmental assembly: Equipped with a three-way catalytic converter + EEC fuel evaporation system + closed PVC system, and features BAS (Brake Assist System). The BAS system continuously monitors the brake pedal action during vehicle operation. When the sensor detects the brake pedal being pressed extremely quickly, the system interprets this as the driver needing to perform emergency braking.
I drove a 2009 Haima Family model, and the engine of that car was entirely domestically produced, not imported. I remember when buying the car, the salesperson emphasized that it was Haima's self-developed HA-VVT engine, optimized based on older technology. It ran quite smoothly and had decent fuel efficiency. Back then, China's automotive industry was pushing for localization, and after Haima became independent, they used locally manufactured parts to reduce costs—cheap and easy to find, with common issues fixable at small repair shops. If it were truly an imported engine, the labels or manuals would clearly indicate it, but I checked my car's documents and found no mention of imports. Overall, it was decent for daily driving with good value for money, but don’t expect it to be imported—it was thoroughly domestic.
