00:00Welcome to the video from the Car Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:04Today, everything revolves around the Hyundai i35 Mufasa, an SUV that will be unveiled at the end of 2023 and will succeed the aging X35 and has been developed exclusively for the Chinese market with a striking design.
00:21The vehicle is the result of a collaboration between Hyundai and the Chinese car manufacturer Bay, who have been producing together as part of a joint venture since 2002.
00:30With the Mufasa, Beijing Hyundai is presenting another SUV in a market known for its wide range of models and fast-paced dynamics.
00:41Visually, the Mufasa is strongly based on the Hyundai Tucson, but has its own unique angular design language.
00:50Particularly striking are the vertically arranged headlights and the cylindrical taillights, which give it a unique appearance.
01:00With a length of around 4.5 meters, a width of around 1.8 meters and a height of around 1.7 meters, the Mufasa largely corresponds in terms of dimensions to the short Tucson as offered in Europe.
01:11The wheelbase is around 2.7 meters, which promises decent interior space.
01:20The curb weight is around 1.5 tons.
01:23Under the hood is a conventional 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine that develops around 160 horsepower.
01:34Drive is via the front wheels only, which suggests a more urban and road-oriented design.
01:38Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, according to local media, a version with mild hybrid technology is also to follow, possibly with a 48-volt system.
01:50It is currently unclear whether the Mufasa will also be offered outside of China.
01:59In any case, the compact SUV was publicly unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show and went on sale in China shortly afterwards.
02:08Incidentally, the Mufasa has a name with a pop culture background.
02:13It was named after Simba's bat from Disney's animated classic The Lion King.
02:17A detail that is sure to evoke nostalgic associations for some buyers.
