Hyundai Unveils Second-Generation Nexo Hydrogen SUV with 435-Mile Range
The upgraded Nexo features increased power, towing capacity, and advanced interior tech, but faces challenges from limited hydrogen fueling infrastructure.
- 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.
