Is the Refine M3 really fuel-consuming?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Refine M3 is 8.4~9.9L/100km, which is not very high. Below is some relevant information about the Refine M3: Introduction: The JAC Refine M3 is a compact MPV launched by JAC Motors for small private business owners and small-to-medium merchants, known as 'makers'. It features advantages such as low fuel consumption, spacious interior, and high safety. On July 23, 2016, the IKEA version of the Refine M3 was simultaneously launched in ten cities: Lhasa, Chengdu, Chongqing, Baoding, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Xuzhou, and Ningbo. Interior: The Refine M3 is equipped with high-grade fabric seats and leather seats. The high-grade fabric seats feature breathable ventilation and ergonomic design for comfortable seating. Scientific analysis of the skeletal characteristics and torso curves of Eastern people was conducted, utilizing human model simulation design to ensure comfortable seating.
I've been driving the JAC Refine M3 for my small business for several years, and the fuel consumption in the city is really a headache, averaging around 12 liters per 100 kilometers, which gets even worse in traffic jams. The car itself is heavy, and the spacious interior is an advantage, but the engine tuning is more performance-oriented, so the fuel consumption spikes when accelerating hard. Compared to MPVs like the Honda Odyssey, the Refine costs me a few hundred yuan more in fuel each month. To improve, I regularly check the tire pressure to keep it at the standard value, reduce sudden braking, and use cruise control on highways, which helps save a bit. If you often drive in congested areas, you need to budget for fuel costs in advance, as it turns out to be significantly more expensive than smaller cars.
