JAC Refine RF8

It's built by JAC Motors (Anhui Jianghuai Automobile), a long-established Chinese automaker that also has a joint venture with Volkswagen in China. The Refine line is JAC's family-oriented people-carrier range.

It's a seven-passenger minivan with three rows, aimed squarely at family transport. Features like touchscreen infotainment and automatic climate control are available depending on trim.

Around its launch in the mid-2020s it was offered with turbocharged petrol power, with plug-in hybrid versions also reported for the lineup. Exact availability varies by market, since the RF8 is primarily a China-market model.

In China's large-MPV segment it goes up against established players like the Buick GL8 — the segment's long-running benchmark — as well as the GAC Trumpchi M8 and Denza D9. That's tough company, which explains its comfort-and-value positioning.
