Sehol

Sol - a Chinese manufacturer of electric crossovers based in Hefei operating since 2018. The brand belongs to a Sino-Spanish joint-venture between the JAC Motors concern and the SEAT company.

 History 
In April 2018, during the Beijing Auto Show, the premiere of the new electric cars Sol brand took place, which was established on the initiative of joint-venture between the Chinese concern JAC Motors and belonging to Volkswagen and the Spanish brand SEAT. The name 'Sol' comes from the Spanish word meaning 'sun', which refers to the origins of the brand's co-founder and renewable energy sources. 

Originally, SEAT planned to start selling on the Chinese market under its own name, but this was opposed by the Chinese government, which co-owns the associated with JAC Motors. It was decided to implement SEAT technology under a new brand, which resulted in the creation of Sol.

The first model presented during the brand's premiere and so far the only one in the Sol portfolio is the electric city crossover E20X combining the stylistic features of SEAT vehicles with its twin model from the co-owner of the branch, JAC Refine S2.

From 2020, JAC began to rename Jiayue series products to Sol. The result was Sol A5, Sol X4, Sol X7, and Sol X8. The rebranding is actually a move to bring all sedans and crossovers under the Sol brand and keep the Refine brand with the MPV. 

As of 2021, Sol was renamed into Sehol.

In 2023, several Sehol models such as the QX, A5 and X8 were rebranded to the JAC brand. JAC revealed that it has decided to phase out the Sehol brand in the future.
