More wood is always good, Hyundai bringing wood back to the mid-size sedan in China. There was a lot of wood in the early 00′s with even the smallest cars having fake-wood panels on the dash. Then suddenly all wood disappeared for alu-stuff and fancy plastics, but lately we see many cars with wood again.

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.
