Hafei Lobo 1.1
There are rumours going around that the Hafei Lobo will be coming to Malaysia soon.
Check out the signal lights just below the windscreen. Reminds me of the Fiat Multipla styling.
Lobo means “treasure on the road” in Chinese and it’s a 4-door, 4-seater mini car with a 1075cc four-cylinder engine. The car is supposed to have been designed by Italian design hour Pininfarina and has “Japanese quality”.
Hmm. What exactly is Japanese quality?
Pininfarina was also the design house that styled the Chevrolet Optra.
The car is light at 850kg, and it’s 1.1 liter engine makes 46kW at 5700rpm and 85Nm of torque at 3000rpm. Top speed is 130km/h.
Sources say that Naza will be the one bringing this in to reduce dependency on Kia in it’s plans to diversify the group. A new plant based in Penang is in the works for assembly of the Naza-branded Hafei Lobo.

quick unique car! below RM35000, wat u gonna want? BMW ah?
August 14, 2005 @ 7:20 pm
one of the ugliest car in the world, it is totally a rubbish..wat a eyesore on the road, HumanSannz, i agree with you, i rather pay my money for a national car..by the way,if im not mistaken previously they had a concept coupe which has a signal light located in the A-pillar, penned by pininfarina too..that one looks nice though…LOL
August 14, 2005 @ 7:22 pm
Looks like a girly car. I’m sure girls don’t mind the center console. But the steering wheel looks weird with the white wheel and off-white center: looks really cheap and mismatched.
August 14, 2005 @ 7:40 pm
no car ugly than Kenari & juara~
August 14, 2005 @ 7:40 pm
It looks poor! I can see that Perodua even looked better than it.
August 14, 2005 @ 9:18 pm
izzit this car have triangle rear light? saw at other forum few days b4, honestly, it look sucks
August 14, 2005 @ 11:32 pm
Perodua produces a lot better car than this one .. Honestly, if they can sell it much less than those cars produced by Perodua, people will buy it .. but will moan about the quality later on .. looks a lot of plastic to me.
August 15, 2005 @ 12:02 am
Cool! shd support!
August 15, 2005 @ 3:17 am
When we build it, they will come
August 15, 2005 @ 4:16 am
akari: yup this is the car with triangle brake lights. all the hafei cars have triangle brake lights.
August 15, 2005 @ 7:47 am
i will not be caught dead in this pathetic excuse for a car!
August 15, 2005 @ 9:34 am
Thats cute~~~~

August 15, 2005 @ 10:54 am

why u want to delete my previous post?
I only said not all Hafei cars come with triangle brake lights and pls go to refer to Hafei website!
August 15, 2005 @ 12:03 pm
When I first look at our national cars, it doesnt look too well off either… but comparing the price, if the quality is as good as it claims, i see no problem for this product to get our attention… only concern is, its a china stuff, notorious for its copycat stuffs and lowergrade products too…
August 15, 2005 @ 12:04 pm
I hate the shape and the name of this car. Really call like “Agriculture Management” means in cantonese “TIU LE RO MO HAI” really “SAT PAI Choong ge SAT PAI”.
Mo gan Tai kuai le. (No eye see it)
August 15, 2005 @ 12:15 pm
I agreed with ALEXC too.
I would suggest you all to check the car Specifications first. I cannot judge the car which has no proven driven records or quality standards.
Normally, Japanese design specification is based on 5 years warranty, europeans 6 to 8 years, Koreans maybe only 3 to 4 years. Chinese copy??? 2 to 3 years if you are lucky leh.
That is why the car price vary so many. Kuak…Kuak….kuak.

CHINESE R&D: Receive and Duplicate!

MrB/Angry: I did not delete your post ler… it’s the comment moderation system. If you post comment for the first time, I have to approve it first. From then on, it appears immediately.
The new generation of Hafei all comes with triangle back lights. The new ones designed by Pininfarina.
August 15, 2005 @ 1:36 pm
needs a facelift
too flower horn matrix style
August 15, 2005 @ 2:59 pm
Napps,
Haa .. haa, I guess that what Naza is trying to do with it’s RM500K investment on this car
Trying to learn how to R&D the China’s way 
But if I could get a better value for money, I don’t mind driving Naza rebadged car .. Nah, I’ll stick with my good old C200 
August 15, 2005 @ 11:52 pm
August 16, 2005 @ 12:07 pm
Another junk-car dumping to Malaysia…??? Our Perodua Kancil MUCHHHHH better. Anything made-in China only canned food, thats already make me SICK. Chinese car??? NAZA even DARE TO FOOL US than proton?????
August 16, 2005 @ 3:47 pm
As I said before this car is a Toys car. Only suitable to drive at GENTING park or private garden area. Becareful I guess the wheels will fly off when you drive too fast (over 130km/j).
Don’t understand how Malaysian Government or JPJ approved it? (->O
August 16, 2005 @ 3:55 pm
Special comment to “Chinese canned food make me sick friend”.
What is the relationship between FOOD and CAR?
I still like Chinese canned/Tin food, please list down which one cause you sick. If you can’t list down just go to see DOCTOR lah.
Everybody know Chinese FOOD cheap and nice to eat man…SOO LOW!
August 17, 2005 @ 12:02 am
Naza is developing their ‘own’ car with only a half mil ringgit investment, and
with just 16 ex p1 and p2 engineers?
cheh!
does it come with peddles?
anyway if they want to compete, they should target proton coz perodua is at least making decent cars at affordable prices… cant say the same for the former.
August 17, 2005 @ 11:33 am
If you all read the car name carefully ” HA FEI LO BO” actually means “HA” HAA the wheel “FEI” liao at “LO” road side, someone will get the “BO” yo.
KUAK…KUAK…kUak
August 17, 2005 @ 2:58 pm
i hate center meter dashboard………..
August 17, 2005 @ 9:24 pm
I love center meter dashboard… so trendy!
August 18, 2005 @ 1:55 am
NAZA getting richer at the expense of rakyat that they think are a dumb fool. China car makers are damn bullish and will sell their car even in Antartica if they can. Anyway, the problem with them are the copy cat thingy. (that explains pirated CD in Msia)
I remember a company Geely copycat the Honda CRV and named it SRV which cause a court battle that Honda, unfortunately loose. Like the pirated VCD being sold in Msia…….NAZA…. please don’t be selling one here in Msia and named it your national car. Dah cukup kaya dah lah.
August 18, 2005 @ 9:11 am
… they should take this one and knock it together with a Savvy to see which is stronger – and while they sweep the pieces of the road, I will take the girl for a teh tarik … heh, heh, heh. … abu is invited to join.
August 18, 2005 @ 2:00 pm
Try and see lah. At least it’s good someone is trying some alternative small car. If its Pininfarina design, Japanese engine, etc. why not?
If they at least have some engineering people there, then hopefully the car can tahan our roads. Maybe the same team who created the Myvi using Passo/Boon base?
Most important is specs & price?
August 24, 2005 @ 8:56 am
Anyway, does this car have a name yet?
Or they’ll just call it NAZA Lobo…
Kind of remembering me to a nice cowboy movie about a sheriff..
September 2, 2005 @ 4:13 pm
forkin’ ugly car!!!! burok!!!
September 2, 2005 @ 4:13 pm
it looks like a slut!!!
October 16, 2005 @ 8:38 pm
je constate que la voiture est fragile dans son concept générale
la puissance du motor est trop faible par rapport au voiture européenne
cette voiture est trés bas par rapport à la terre en même tempts son tableau de bord est défallant défois l’éguit de vétesse s’arréte et défois celle de température et même le tour minute.
parlons des bougés qui sont introuvable dans le marché

[...] A Chinese auto company will be involved in a joint-venture to set up an assembly plant in northern Malaysia. Little is known of which Chinese auto company this is, but from past rumours it might be the Hafei Lobo. Just a little speculation on my part though. [...]
December 23, 2005 @ 11:50 am
Kelisa, Savvy, watch out, you have an enemy soon.
December 24, 2005 @ 4:57 pm
ini model tiru jugak kaaaa…
December 28, 2005 @ 9:40 am
OK! lets say about COPY.
Proton Waja’s design is copy from EVO.
Wira also copy from EVO.
Even the the engine is worst than another country one.
Waja and GEN2 got the Fxxx up power windows which always brake down.
waja’s door handle always torn.
Savvy? even worst.. buy lar! after 2 years then you’ll know what happen. Just becoz it’s modified from Tiara, see either you can find the spare part or not
December 28, 2005 @ 10:15 am
again… study ppl’s technology 1st before scold ppl. China build car earlier than malaysia. China even build VW. i work in a automobil company. that’s y i know. All cars that build in malaysia sure got problem. Esspecially proton. For Perodua, well done. even the Mercedes and BMW which recombign in malaysia also sure got problem. If it is completely imported from the car’s own country, the problem will be less.. Beside, our country export national car to other country and sell it really cheap there. But, sell really expensive here (Potong orang sendiri?). If the car is just below RM35000, why don’t give it a try? You always can test drive before drive. Beside china (Below RM35000) car is using Multi-Point-Injection (MPI) compare to our Carbulator Proton Iswara (over RM33000). So, choose..
December 28, 2005 @ 10:18 am
correction, you can always test drive before buy
December 29, 2005 @ 9:01 am
i think i’m blind
but wait till i see this car
i think i’m deaf
but wait till i hear what people say about this car
bila nak launch ni?
March 28, 2006 @ 4:48 pm
[...] Naza hinted at some details of the two models. The NX-01 will be a small 1.1 liter car in the Perodua Myvi range. It will be priced between RM30,000 to RM40,000. Naza says the model was originally designed by Pinanfarina but Naza’s own team had made some changes to the design to suit local market tastes and to have an identity of it’s own. These little hints seem to point to the Hafei Lobo 1.1, a Chinese car designed by Pininfarina. Check out this link for more details on the car. Launch date is scheduled to be on the 22nd of April 2006. [...]
April 12, 2006 @ 2:10 am
[...] Hafei Lobo 1.1 NAZA to sell Chinese minicars Naza to launch NX-01 and NX-02 within two months [...]
March 27, 2007 @ 12:40 pm
If me i rather buy a local made car rather than this shitty sutera… Its sooo damn ugly yet so many problem with the car… Its the ugliest car ever!!! Of coz not as ugly as Juara la…
November 6, 2007 @ 8:45 pm
good
August 12, 2009 @ 8:57 pm
I can not understand that any one can commit on a car that they have only see a photo of it. First test drive and then commit. I think it is a funny looking car and will be perfect as a mommy’s car
