On December 17, 2023, the Chinese car brand Haima made a comeback in the Vietnamese market with the launch of two models: the 7X and 7X-E. The Haima 7X is an MPV model with a starting price of VND 865 million for the internal combustion engine version. Customers can enjoy a discount of VND 100 million by depositing VND 30 million, resulting in a post-discount price of VND 765 million.
The Haima 7X, positioned in the mid-size MPV segment, competes with the Toyota Innova Cross and Hyundai Custin in Vietnam. It has dimensions of 4,815 x 1,874 x 1,720 mm (length x width x height) and a wheelbase of 2,860 mm, which is equivalent to the Toyota Innova Cross and shorter than the Hyundai Custin.
Unlike its competitors, the Haima 7X features a traditional MPV design instead of an SUV-inspired style. The exterior design includes sharp and sophisticated details such as the grille, headlights, taillights, and front/rear bumpers. The car also has crease lines on the hood and side, giving it a distinct look. It comes with conventional doors, similar to the Toyota Innova Cross.

It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and offers front-wheel drive. The car has Sport and Snow driving modes and achieves an average fuel consumption of 8.3 liters/100 km.
