2 Answers
JAC Refine S3 uses a total of two engines, one is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The JAC Refine S3 is a compact SUV under the JAC brand, with a wheelbase of 2560 mm, and its body dimensions are 4345 mm in length, 1765 mm in width, and 1640 mm in height. The front face of the Refine S3 continues JAC's 'Baopingkou' design, incorporating urban crossover SUV design elements, presenting an overall fashionable and dynamic appearance. The interior of the Refine S3 features a predominantly dark color scheme with red stitching, and the dashboard is accented with a horizontal silver trim, giving it a sporty texture. The instrument cluster adopts a dual-dial design, with clear display of driving information and adjustable brightness. The Refine S3 is equipped with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, wrapped in leather, integrating audio controls, cruise control, and Bluetooth functionality for easy operation.
As a young person who has driven this car, I must say the JAC Refine S3 mainly uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, which delivers quite smooth power. The acceleration is agile enough for city driving, with no noticeable lag. Daily commuting fuel consumption is around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical, and it handles weekend trips with friends effortlessly. This engine is reliable and easy to maintain—just regular oil and filter changes. However, it feels slightly underpowered on mountain roads. Overall, it’s paired with a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission, making it suitable for entry-level owners like me with a limited budget—offering high value for money while saving on fuel costs. If the budget allows, upgrading the intake and exhaust might improve responsiveness a bit.
