Where it came from
The Sehol X7 or previously the Sol X7 or Jiayue X7 is a mid-size crossover SUV that was produced by JAC Motors under the Sehol brand and Jiayue brand respectively. Originally it was launched as the Jiayue X7 in 2020, the crossover is essentially an extensive facelift of the Refine S7. By October 2020, the crossover was rebadged as the Sol X7.
The Sol X7 and Jiayue X7 were sold alongside each other for a brief period before the Jiayue brand was discontinued. As of 2021, the Sol vehicles were badged as Sehol. It is also marketed in Iran as the KMC K7.
