The Jinbei Haise (金杯海狮) is a 4 door mid-size van produced by Chinese auto maker Jinbei. The Jinbei Haise started out as a licensed rebadged Toyota HiAce with the first Jinbei Haise based on the fourth generation Toyota HiAce.
Jinbei Haise I (1991–2001)
On November 3 1991, the first CKD assembled Jinbei Haise (金杯海狮) was assembled.[1] The van was based on the prefacelift version of the fourth generation Toyota HiAce, and featured Jin Bei in block letters up front.
Jinbei Haise II (1999–2006)
The second generation Jinbei Haise is still a rebadged Toyota HiAce, but with the facelifted front fascia from the HiAce. Rear end remains the same.
Jinbei Haise III (2002–2006)
Just like previous generations, the third generation Jinbei Haise is still a rebadged updated Toyota HiAce MK4. The 10,000th Jinbei Haise was produced in 1997, and on July 17 1999, the 200,000th Jinbei Haise was produced. By the end of 2002, the annual sales of Jinbei Haise has passed 65,000.[2]

Jinbei Haise V (2006–present)
The fifth generation Jinbei Haise is essentially an extensive facelift of the Toyota HiAce based fourth generation Haise, and while the fifth generation on sale, the fourth generation vans were sold alongside as a lower trim option.

Jinbei Haise VI (2008–present)
On September 23 2008, the sixth generation Jinbei Haise was launched, and the 800,000th Jinbei Haise was also produced at the same time.[3] Just like the previous Haise generations, the fifth generation was sold alongside as a more affordable option. The sixth generation Jinbei Haise, still essentially being an extensive facelift of the previous generations, featured a completely redesigned front fascia and rear end.
