Overview

  • The second-generation Hyundai Nexo offers a 435-mile range, a significant improvement over the previous model's 414 miles.
  • It is the first hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) with towing capacity, capable of hauling up to 1 ton.
  • The updated powertrain delivers 255 horsepower, a 74 hp increase from the previous model, and features a larger hydrogen tank for extended range.
  • Advanced interior features include dual wireless charging pads, digital mirrors, a 12-inch driver-focused display, and sustainably sourced materials.
  • Limited hydrogen fueling infrastructure, particularly in the U.S., remains a major barrier to the Nexo's adoption, despite Hyundai's plans to expand stations in South Korea by 2040.
