2 Answers
Ruifeng M3 is equipped with three types of engines: a 1.5L turbocharged engine, a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5L turbocharged engine delivers 147 horsepower and a maximum torque of 210 Nm; the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine produces 120 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150 Nm; the 1.8L naturally aspirated engine generates 133 horsepower and a maximum torque of 182 Nm. The Ruifeng M3 is a compact MPV launched by JAC Motors, featuring advantages such as low fuel consumption, spacious interior, and high safety. Its overall design follows the design philosophy of the Ruifeng MPV family.
As a long-time owner of the JAC Refine M3, the engine type depends on the purchase year. My first-generation model bought in 2016 used a Mitsubishi-technology 1.6L engine (model 4A92), which was remarkably fuel-efficient and handled five-passenger uphill drives effortlessly. Later versions adopted a self-developed 1.5TGDI engine with higher thermal efficiency - my friend's 2022 hybrid version uses this powertrain, achieving just over 6L/100km in city driving. However, maintenance intervals are crucial; my 1.6L requires oil changes every 5,000km, otherwise engine noise increases noticeably.
