JAC Ruifeng RF8 PHEV MPV Launches at ¥176,900 — 1,150km Range and Luxury Cabin That Rivals Alphard

JAC Motors has officially launched the Ruifeng RF8 Yuexiang Series — a plug-in hybrid MPV targeting the premium family van segment. With a limited-time starting price of just ¥176,900 (approx. $24,400 USD), this is a direct challenge to the Toyota Alphard and Buick GL8 at a fraction of the cost.

Three trim levels are available, with standard pricing between ¥199,900–¥259,900 (approx. $27,600–$35,900 USD), and a limited promotional price of ¥176,900–¥226,900 (approx. $24,400–$31,300 USD).

Imposing Size: Bigger Than an Alphard

At 5,215mm long, 1,895mm wide, 1,830mm tall with a 3,100mm wheelbase, the RF8 is a true large MPV. The exterior features a bold scale-pattern front grille, aggressive LED headlights, and silver accent trim for a premium presence.

Luxury Cabin: Aviation Seats, 17.3-Inch Rear Screen

Inside, the RF8 features a 2-2-3 seven-seat layout with 12.3-inch dual screens and HUD. Higher trims offer second-row seats with ventilation, heating, and massage functions — plus optional aviation-style reclining seats. Rear passengers enjoy a 17.3-inch entertainment screen.

PHEV Powertrain: 150km EV Range + 1,150km Total

The RF8 runs a 1.5T engine paired with a 160kW electric motor, delivering a combined output of 310kW and 745N·m of torque. The 27.6kWh LFP battery provides 150km of pure electric range, with a total combined range of 1,150km.

The Bottom Line

At under ¥180,000 (approx. $24,900 USD) with this level of space, luxury, and PHEV efficiency, the JAC Ruifeng RF8 is one of the most compelling value propositions in the Chinese MPV segment.
