Positioning above the Refine M3 compact MPV, the Refine M4 made its first public appearance during the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.[1] According to the official website, pricing for the Refine M4 ranges from 99,800 to 169,800 yuan, making the Refine M4 a more premium product when compared to the Refine M3. It may have looked like the Toyota Alphard for some reason.[2]

At launch in October 2016, the Refine M4 is powered by a 2.0 liter engine producing 147hp(108kW)and 196N·m mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
