The Refine M2 is a 5-door minivan from JAC Group, built from 2011 to 2018, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 1.5L I4.

The background

The JAC Refine M2 is a compact MPV produced by JAC. Previously named the JAC Heyue RS, the product was moved from the Heyue series to the newly established Refine series just like many of the other products in the Refine series.

The engineering

Power comes from 1.5L I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 4-speed automatic / 5-speed manual. The wheelbase is 2710 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Lamborghini Aventador, the Nissan Leaf, the Peugeot 208 — show what else the money bought that year. Its JAC Group stablemates include the Heyue A20 and the Heyue A30.
