SUVs and sedans have already entered the Red Sea stage, and the competition is fierce, and everyone is fighting for the best equipment. However, the MPV field is still in the stage of a hundred flowers, and many market segments are in a blank state. JAC Refine officially aimed at the blue ocean field of medium and large MPVs in the range of 17-220,000 yuan, and officially launched the RF8 and RF8 PHEV. The combination of plug-in hybrid and medium and large MPV, coupled with the huge cost-effective price, will the RF8 become a dark horse in the MPV?
On January 31, the Refine RF8 was officially launched, and the official guidance for the fuel version was 1699-20.990,000 yuan, the official guidance of the plug-in hybrid version ** is 2199-25.990,000. The new model is positioned as a mid-to-large MPV with a body length of more than 52 meters, wheelbase 31 meter. The front face of Ruifeng RF8 provides three different mesh shapes: volley, dragon scale, and green cloud, with a tiger roar headlight design, highlighting the essence of Hui culture. The interior focuses on the mobile third space, with a double-embracing design to create a strong sense of business atmosphere. In terms of power, 15T+3DHT plug-in hybrid system, the longest pure electric range is 252 km, and the comprehensive range is 1250 km; The fuel version adopts 2Combination of 0T+8AT.
The power system adopts 15T engine with a thermal efficiency of 4426%, which is a relatively good performance among plug-in MPVs. It is equipped with a 3-speed DHT hybrid system, which can realize range extension mode, pure electric mode, series mode, etc. The P1+P3 motor layout combination is adopted, and the layout of the 3-speed transmission ratio is specially optimized for MPV user scenarios, taking into account heavy-load, acceleration, high-speed cruising economy and other vehicle use scenarios. Compared with a single-speed hybrid, the three-speed structure is better for controlling fuel consumption and engine noise at high speeds.
The plug-in power system has a maximum power of 310kW, a maximum comprehensive torque of 745N·m, and an official acceleration of 7 per 100 km/h3 seconds, equipped with 44The 5kWh liquid-cooled battery has a maximum pure electric range of 252km and a comprehensive range of 1250km.
Refine RF8 is a new MPV in the new energy era, built based on the MUSE co-creation intelligent electric architecture, with the native electric drive as the power solution, which can match the power scheme of hybrid and pure electric vehicles. Specially built for multi-person families and business teams, focusing on the diversified layout of the interior space.
At the same time, the active and passive safety configuration is higher, and the Ruifeng RF8 body door frame is made of 1500MPa ultra-high-strength steel, and high-strength steel accounts for 717%, all models are equipped with all side curtains and 4 airbags for the main and co-driver as standard. In addition, the MUSE architecture also brings EEA 20 electrical architecture, which can realize richer intelligent driving and intelligent functions.
As an MPV, the Refine RF8 is well aware of its responsibilities, and even with such a surging power reserve, it will never let it burst easily. Regardless of economy, standard or even sports mode, the power output can be controlled very slowly and linearly, the response will not be fast, the power will come gradually, and gradually emerge, like the output mode of the extremely strong man, the speed will not be fast but powerful.
The biggest benefit of the gentle power response is that the motor is no longer nervous, even the organ feet will not produce obvious pauses, passengers are not easy to feel dizzy, and with the seat with wrapping and softness in place, the comfort performance is not bad.
As a medium and large MPV focusing on business, front and rear independent suspension is indispensable. Since the relationship between JAC and Volkswagen, JAC has also begun to use the relationship of partners, and the chassis of the Refine RF8 is tuned by the expert group of the German Volkswagen, especially for structural vibration and vibration filtration.
In fact, the Ruifeng RF8 plug-in hybrid version of the chassis does have a bit of a German flavor, and the chassis is solid and supportive. In the face of large potholes, the suspension absorbs vibrations efficiently, especially in the rear row, and does not feel the excess bounce of the rear suspension, and quickly splits corners, the suspension can provide sufficient support to avoid the exaggerated roll of the MPV due to the weight of the vehicle.
Perhaps it is integrated into the German tuning, and the chassis is solid enough, but it lacks a sense of heaviness and luxury. The design of the initial section of the suspension is stiff, and it will feel a little stiff when dealing with speed bumps, lacking the soft lying feeling that an MPV should have. However, this slightly stiffer initial design can bring higher high-speed stability and more confidence in changing lanes at high speeds, which is also a characteristic of German tuning.
The tire configuration of the Refine RF8 is not low, using the Michelin E·Primacy of 225 55R18, which focuses on wear resistance, low rolling resistance and silence. However, the noise control in the car has not yet reached a very good level, and there is still room for improvement in wind noise and road noise isolation.
Pure business style.
JAC obviously placed the positioning of Refine RF8 very accurately this time, and the business attributes and design must be atmospheric, bringing out the aura of business travel. The front face is available in three styling designs, among which the dragon scale design has the most Chinese elements. The entire front of the car is decorated with chrome trim from the middle grille to the bottom of the headlights and across the front of the car, which is completely free of restraint to take care of the family, showing as much as possible the feeling of exquisite travel.
The headlight shape is somewhat similar to the tank 500, and the through-type headlights are integrated into the front of the car, and the embodiment of the atmosphere will only increase. The body adopts the color of oriental blue, maintaining the low-key and unassuming attributes of the appearance, in addition to providing red sandalwood brown, quantum silver, crystal white, and sunshine gold, a total of 5 body colors.
Although the side design of the body does not have complex shapes, it is also arranged with three chrome decorative strips, vowing to carry out this business attribute to the end. The left and right sides are equipped with electric side sliding doors and are treated with concealed tracks. The third row of glass and tailgate glass are integrated, and you don't look at the front of the car from the side and 45 degrees, which is somewhat of a big brother GL8.
The taillights are the most striking feature of the rear, and it's hard not to notice the through-through treatment and larger design. Like the headlights, the design of the tail lights is full of multiple elements, and the effect is particularly complex when lit, and it is not the current pursuit of simple style. At the same time, the rear of the car also has two through-chrome trims, which continue the business attributes.
Low floor height and generous headroom.
The interior design of the Refine RF8 adopts a double-enveloping harbor design, and the center console adopts a two-tone combination to create a more luxurious texture. According to different model configurations, it is equipped with two different cockpits, Hongmeng intelligent cockpit and Zhiling intelligent cockpit. The smart cockpit adopts double 12The biggest highlight of the 3-inch screen is that it is equipped with a new iFLYTEK intelligent voice system and an iFLYTEK AI Xinghuo cognitive model, which can achieve accurate recognition of multiple sound areas and multi-scene situational dialogue.
The steering wheel has a four-spoke design, which is relatively large in size and brings a calm feeling, with leather wraps and silver trim embellishments, it feels pretty good. The design of the front and rear sunroofs ensures that both the front and second rows have good lighting.
The Refine RF8 is built on the new MUSE platform, so the vehicle's sitting position and visibility are not affected by the battery layout. The floor height is only 400 mm, which is a little lower than the Trumpchi M8 and Denza D9.
As a result, the front row headroom is very spacious, and the view from the sitting position is relatively low. The second row sits slightly higher than the front, but also retains decent headroom. The third-row seat cushions are soft, the seat cushion height is moderate, the backrest supports multi-angle movement, the seat cushion also supports forward and backward movement, and the head and leg room are relatively abundant, so the third row is also relatively comfortable.
