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.

The Refine M4 received a facelift in 2018. Styling wise, the update is mainly on the front, featuring an updated grille. In terms of specifications, higher trim models receive an upgrade on the rear suspensions while business class models received additional features such as electronic stability control. In terms of powertrain, besides the 48V light hybrid 2018 model year 1.5 liter turbo version, the 1.9 liter turbo diesel engine models, 2.0 liter engine models, and 2.0 liter turbo gasoline engine models are also available. The 1.5 liter turbo engine produces 128kW and is paired with a 12kW electric motor, with the engine producing 251N·m and electric motor producing 55N·m mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
