Hyundai Unveils Second-Gen Nexo With 826-Km Range, 150-kW Motor and Lower Price

Limited refuelling, high hydrogen prices, strong BEV rivals keep it niche.

Overview

  • Hyundai confirms the second-generation Nexo will reach the German market in early 2026.
  • The SUV achieves a WLTP range of 826 km from an enlarged 6.69 kg hydrogen tank and can refuel in under five minutes.
  • A 150 kW motor enables 0–100 km/h in about 7.8–7.9 seconds with a top speed of 179 km/h.
  • The target starting price is roughly €68,000, about 10% cheaper than the outgoing model.
  • Reviews praise the quiet, EV-like driving experience but flag scarce stations in Germany (about 80), recent closures in Austria and hydrogen prices reported up to €19/kg as major hurdles.
