The production version was revealed in 2012 during the 2012 Beijing Auto Show[3] as the Haima 1, changing mainly the front fascia of the Haima 1 taking inspirations from the sixth generation Mitsubishi Mirage subcompact hatchback.[4] A rename was later done changing the name from Haima 1 to Haima Aishang (爱尚) [5] it has been available solely as a five-door hatchback with prices ranging from 35,800 yuan to 45,800 yuan.
