The Maple Marindo or Haifeng (海锋) (and similar Hysoul) is a 4-door compact sedan from Chinese manufacturer, Shanghai Maple, subsidiary of Geely Automobile. It is essentially the sedan version of the Maple Hisoon compact hatchback.

Shanghai Maple Hysoul

There are two series of cars, the 1.5 L 303, introduced in 2004, and the 1.8 L 305, introduced in 2005. The facelift introduced in 2005 was named the Hysoul, featuring restyled front and rear ends featuring new front fenders, front bumpers, new hood, and new tail lamps. The styling of the front end was heavily inspired by the Audi A4 at the time. The Marindo 305 was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2005 along with four Geely models.

Shanghai Maple Haifeng

Based on the Shanghai Maple Hysoul, the Shanghai Maple Haifeng was introduced later featuring restyled front and rear ends featuring new rear fenders, front and rear bumpers, new trunk lid, and new tail lamps. The styling of the rear end was heavily inspired by the first generation Cadillac CTS.

Production ended in 2010.
