JAC Refine M5

The JAC Refine M5 is a light commercial Van which has been made by JAC Motors since 2002. It is the first-ever vehicle from the JAC Refine series and is mainly sold in China.

 First Generation (2002-2015) 

The first-generation JAC Refine M5 was launched in 2002 and was essentially a rebadged Hyundai Starex. This was the result of a joint venture between Hyundai and JAC, under which JAC produced the Hyundai Starex under license. Initially marketed as the JAC Refine, the model was later renamed to JAC Refine M5 as part of the broader JAC Refine series.

The Refine M5 was available with a 2.0-liter petrol engine (naturally aspirated or turbocharged), a 2.4-liter petrol engine, or a 2.8-liter diesel engine. Transmission options included a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic, with the latter receiving improvements in later models.

 Second Generation (2011-present) 

The second-generation Refine M5 was first introduced as a concept vehicle, known as the JAC Refine IV, at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show. The production version was officially unveiled at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. Following the introduction of the JAC Refine series, the model was renamed the JAC Refine M5 and is currently positioned between the JAC Refine M4 and the JAC Refine M6 in the product lineup.

Engine options include a 1.8-liter or 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine, as well as a 1.8-liter or 1.9-liter turbocharged diesel engine. Transmission choices consist of a 6-speed manual, a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), or a 5-speed automatic.
