The Hyundai Mufasa is a 5-door crossover SUV from Hyundai, built from 2023, in the decade the industry is turning electric. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine.
Where it came from
The Hyundai Mufasa (Chinese: 现代沐飒; pinyin: Xiàndài Mùsà) is a compact SUV produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai through its Beijing Hyundai joint venture in China since 2023, and Taiwan since 2025.
Under the skin
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1440-1464 kg. It shifts through a 6-speed automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2680 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Hyundai ix35 (NU) (China); assembly was at Beijing. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Tesla Cybertruck, the Nissan Z, the Kia EV6 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Hyundai catalogue sit the Hyundai Accent WRC and the Hyundai Accent.
