2 Answers
JAC Refine S4 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 210 Nm; the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 88 kW and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. The Refine S4 is JAC Motors' first super SUV produced on the same production line as JAC-Volkswagen. In terms of body dimensions, the Refine S4 measures 4410mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2620mm. For the exterior design, the Refine S4 features a flat hexagonal front grille with a dot-matrix pattern inside, paired with polygonal headlight clusters on both sides and an aggressive-looking fog light area below, giving the car a youthful and distinctive appearance.
I've test-driven the JAC Refine S4 several times, and it mainly uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of around 135. This engine performs well in city driving, with smooth acceleration from a standstill and stable power output, never feeling sluggish. The engine is well-matched with the transmission, significantly improving driving smoothness. Personally, I think the fuel economy of this engine is quite attractive for daily commuting or outings, with an average fuel consumption of about 8L per 100 km—not exceptionally frugal but acceptable. Routine maintenance is also convenient, requiring only regular oil and filter changes to keep it in good condition. Overall, it's a reliable option for users who prioritize practicality, and with proper driving habits, it can remain trouble-free for many years. If you frequently drive on highways, the turbocharger provides extra power, making overtaking easier. I always advise friends to pay attention to the maintenance costs of the engine when choosing a car to avoid higher expenses later on.
