Wood is always good. Wood making a comeback in mid-sized sedans in China. There was a lot of wood in the early 00’s. Then most wood disappeared for alu-stuff and fancy plastics, but lately we see many cars with wood again.

At launch the Mistra will be available with two engines: a 1.8 with 146hp and 175nm and a 2.0 with 162hp and 194nm, both engines mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. In 2014 a new and very strong 1.6 turbo will join the line-up, output is 204hp and 265nm. Size: 4710/1820/1470, wheelbase is 2770.

The new sedan will compete with fine cars such as the Volkswagen Sagitar, the Citroen C4L and Honda Crider, all relatively small sedans with a premium look & feel. The Korean attack will on the segment be hardened in 2014 when the new Kia K4 sedan arrives, which is based on the same platform as the Mistra.
