About the Hyundai Mistra DU2
The second-generation Hyundai Mistra (DU2) debuted at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show, continuing its role as a premium mid-size offering tailored specifically for the Chinese market. Positioned between the Elantra and Sonata, it features Hyundai's 'Sensuous Sportiness' design language with distinctive split LED headlamps and a wide cascading grille. The 1.8-litre variant serves as the entry-level powertrain, prioritising smooth delivery via a CVT over outright performance. Inside, it offers a high-tech environment with dual 12.3-inch screens and a focus on rear-seat legroom, a key requirement for its target demographic.
