Ruifeng M3 uses a Jianghuai brand engine. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder, which pushes the piston to do work. Taking the 2021 Ruifeng M3 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4715mm, width 1765mm, height 1900mm, wheelbase 2810mm, fuel tank capacity 55l, and curb weight 1665kg. The 2021 Ruifeng M3 has a double-wishbone torsion bar independent front suspension and a leaf spring non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 210Nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving a used JAC Refine M3 for over two years. This model is equipped with JAC's self-developed engine, typically the HFC4GA3, a 1.6L naturally aspirated version. As a commercial vehicle for cargo transport, it provides adequate power for daily use, with smooth acceleration though not particularly brisk. The fuel consumption pleasantly surprised me—around 7L/100km in the city and just over 6L/100km on highways, saving significantly compared to some joint-venture brands. Parts are easy to find, and maintenance is affordable, with minor services costing about 300 yuan. The only drawback is noticeable engine noise when exceeding 120 km/h; adding soundproofing material is recommended for improvement. Overall, it offers great value for money, ideal for small businesses or large families' daily commutes. When buying new, ensure to check the engine serial number to avoid counterfeit products.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the powertrain of the JAC Refine M3. It's primarily equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine produced by JAC, model HFC4GA3. Technically, it delivers about 88 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque, which is sufficient for daily urban and highway driving. The fuel efficiency is decent, with a combined cycle fuel consumption below 7L/100km. The design emphasizes low-RPM high torque, making it suitable for an MPV. Compared to international brands like Mitsubishi's 1.6L engine, it offers moderate performance but good reliability, though it tends to be noisy at high speeds. For maintenance, I recommend using full synthetic oil and changing it every 5,000 km to prolong its lifespan. There's not much room for modification, but in stock condition, it's perfectly fine for commuting or light-duty use.

I've been using my JAC Refine M3 to take my kids to school for almost a year now. It's equipped with JAC's self-developed 1.6L engine (I can't recall the exact name), but it's been very reliable. The power delivery is smooth during stop-and-go city driving, and the AC works fine without issues. Fuel consumption is around 8L/100km. The spacious interior makes it easy to load the stroller, and the engine runs quietly with minimal vibration at low speeds. Maintenance is simple - local repair shops handle it for about 200 yuan per service. The only minor issue after prolonged use is slightly slower cold starts, which improves after warming up. Highly recommended for budget-conscious families prioritizing comfort and fuel efficiency over international brand prestige.
