JAC has launched the Refine S3, a new B segment crossover similar in size to the Ford EcoSport.

This small crossover was first seen at the Shanghai motor show in April 2013 where it wore ‘Heyue S30’ badges. A pre-production model followed a year later at the Beijing show, this time labelled as the Refine S3.
