This is the first spy shot of the new JAC Refine S7 SUV. Debut is expected for the Guangzhou Auto Show in December with a launch on the Chinese auto market in early 2015. The Refine S7 is the largest JAC-branded SUV so far, but an even bigger S9 is on the way as well.

Official patent drawings for the Refine S7, emphasizing the impressive grille. The vehicle loox original enought, some influences here and there, but it isn’t a copy. The name however is less original, the JAC will be the third S7 SUV on the market after the Haima S7 and soon-to-be-launched BYD S7. Power will come from 1.8 and 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines, mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.
