Editor's Comment: As the 4th MPV model launched by Hongmeng Zhihang after Zhihai V9 and Zhihai V800/V680, Zhihai V8 has a body size similar to Zhihai V9, and will also be equipped with Hongmeng Zhihai family bucket. It is positioned as the flagship MPV of the main family, while Zhihai V9 is positioned as the flagship MPV of Panorama Intelligence.
