The production version was revealed in 2015 positioning above the Refine M2 compact MPV with prices ranging from 69,800 yuan to 74,800 yuan. At launch, the Refine M3 is powered by a 1.6-liter petrol inline-four engine with 120hp and 150nm mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. A 2.0-liter petrol engine producing 143hp and 180nm was added to the line-up later in 2015.[2] The Refine M3 is controversial when it comes to styling as it heavily resembles the Nissan NV200 from the side profile.[3] A face-lift version was launched later updating the front fascia to be in line with the rest of the Refine MPV products.
