Explore the JAC Refine RF8: the new favorite of mid-to-high-end MPVs.
With the continuous development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, cars are no longer a luxury, but have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's lives. Especially in the current situation of increasing demand for family travel, MPV has become the first choice for many families. However, with the improvement of consumers' requirements for car performance and comfort, an MPV product with no range anxiety and high-quality travel is highly anticipated. In such a market background, JAC Refine has launched the Refine RF8, an MPV product for the mid-to-high-end market. This article will comprehensively explore the Refine RF8 from the aspects of driving experience, intelligent cockpit, riding experience, and exterior design, and reveal its position and advantages in the highly competitive plug-in hybrid MPV market.
1. Driving experience:
The driving experience is the most intuitive feeling of a car model, and it is also one of the important factors for consumers to consider when choosing a car model. The Refine RF8 excels in this regard, first and foremost in its powertrain. The Refine RF8 has two power modes, which are 20TGDI+8AT and 15tgdidhe+3dht。The former has a strong power output, while the latter is a plug-in hybrid system that has attracted much attention, with an amazing combination of power and torque, as well as excellent acceleration from 00 km/h. At high speeds, the power delivery is not only satisfactory, but the steering feels nimble, and the roll is small for a 5-meter-1 MPV. The driving modes are diverse, allowing passengers to choose between economy, comfort or sport modes according to their needs, and even manually switch between HEV EV modes. However, it should be noted that there will be more noticeable noise when the engine is involved, which is one of the areas that needs to be improved. In terms of driving modes, the Refine RF8 is economical, comfortable and sporty, with the ability to manually switch between HEV EVs. When it comes to noise, in addition to engine noise, there is also the road noise of the chassis that can be upgraded in the later stage. Other noise sources are comparable to other MPVs of more than 200,000. In general, if you want the engine to intervene less frequently, it is still recommended that the owner keep the vehicle power at a high level in the future.
2. Intelligent cockpit:
The intelligent cockpit design of Refine RF8 is cutting-edge, from the LCD instrument to the central control screen, to the voice system, all of which show advanced technology applications. Double 12The 3-inch intelligent screen display effect is clear, there is no obvious occlusion and reflection effect, and the user experience is relatively smooth. The voice system is one of the most prominent features of its cockpit, with the empowerment of the iFLYTEK Xinghuo cognitive model, it has a number of highlight functions, including chatting with empathy and dialogue, smart car experts, etc. In addition, the built-in applications in the cockpit are rich and diverse, such as WeChat, Bilibili, etc., based on HarmonyOS 4The intelligent cockpit of the 0 system has attracted the attention of many consumers. The real highlight is its double 123-inch intelligent screen, from the display effect of the screen, there is no obvious occlusion and reflective effect. There are no noticeable problems with display clarity. In addition, the voice system is the most prominent place in the cockpit of Refine RF8, and with the empowerment of the iFLYTEK Xinghuo cognitive model, Refine RF8 has 19 highlight functions such as free chat and empathy dialogue, smart car experts, immersive scene services, and intelligent education interactive assistants. There are a lot of built-in applications, such as WeChat, Bilibili and other applications, if people choose, the Refine RF8 smart cockpit developed based on HarmonyOS may be more attractive. It is based on HarmonyOS 40 system, covering 18 application categories such as smart home, sports and health, smart travel, audio-visual entertainment, education and office, etc., has been put on the shelves of 100+ high-quality applications.
3. Riding experience:
In terms of riding experience, the Refine RF8 also performs well. The seats are comfortable and well padded, especially the most exclusive second-row seats with a "zero gravity" function, providing passengers with a more comfortable experience. The front seats are ventilated and heated, while the third-row seats are not padded and can be reclined in 4 to 6 splits for greater flexibility. In addition, the interior space can be adjusted flexibly, and the slide rail design allows the seat to be adjusted forward and backward as needed, which greatly improves the ride comfort. In terms of riding space experience, the design of Ruifeng RF8 also takes into account the convenience of getting on and off the bus for the elderly and children, with a low platform height and a two-level handrail design, which improves the comfort and safety of passengers in the car. In terms of configuration, the front seats support ventilation and heating. The most exclusive second-row seats officially claim to support "zero gravity", and functions such as electric eight-way adjustment, ventilation, heating, and massage are all available. But there is a strange place, the front passenger is the most "unpopular" seat in the first two rows, not only the seat adjustment is manual, but also the air conditioning ventilation and heating are absent. The padding of the third-row seats is not significantly weakened and can be folded down in 4 6 pieces, and it is worth noting that the second and third rows of seats are equipped with child seat safety interfaces. In terms of riding, let's first announce a set of official data, the height of the platform is as low as 400mm, with two levels of armrests for getting on and off the car, a row of seat slides in the car 260mm, a second row of slide rails 360mm, and a third row of slide rails 240mm, in other words, Ruifeng RF8 can have a very flexible adjustment range.
Fourth, the design:
Exterior design is an important part of automotive products and one of the important considerations for consumers when choosing a model. The Ruifeng RF8 adopts the van body design common to MPVs, but its front face style is unique. Among the three front face shapes, such as volley, dragon scales and green clouds, the dragon scale front face shape showed a unique charm in the test drive. The detailed grille and LED headlights give the front end a sporty and technological feel, while the LED taillights with arrow feathers add a stylish touch to the rear. Full text summary: Refine RF8 is a qualified product, like today's pre-sale of more than 230,000 versions compared to models with similar prices, its size is large, compared with the size of the plug-in hybrid MPV Refine RF8 is very attractive. In the early stage, the commercial label of Refine MPV is too strong, this time relying on Refine RF8 to focus on the mid-to-high-end MPV market, but unfortunately there are many plug-in MPV products, and Refine RF8 still needs to make more efforts.
5. Summary and evaluation:
As a mid-to-high-end MPV product launched by JAC, the Ruifeng RF8 shows its advantages in driving experience, intelligent cockpit, riding experience and exterior design. Its reasonable positioning and rich configuration have attracted the attention of many consumers. However, in the highly competitive plug-in hybrid MPV market, Refine RF8 still needs to make continuous efforts to improve its product strength to cope with the increasingly fierce market competition. On the whole, Refine RF8 is a mid-to-high-end MPV product worth looking forward to, and it is believed that with the recognition of the market and the spread of word of mouth, it will stand out in this field and become one of the first choices in the minds of consumers.
