Hydrogen power.

NEXO’s fuel cell system combines oxygen and hydrogen to create a flow of electrons that powers the electric drive motor and charges the 1.56kWh high voltage battery.

Along with its five-minute fill-up time and impressive range of 414 miles (WLTP), NEXO offers a viable alternative to the combustion engine for everyday commuting and long drives alike.

Performance

Cutting-edge technology.

Since launching the world’s first mass-produced fuel cell in 2013, we've overhauled its constituent parts to make the system smaller, lighter and stronger. As a result, our second generation fuel cell has the world’s highest system efficiency, consuming as little as 1kg of hydrogen per 62 miles.

    Recuperative braking.

    By using the electric motor to slow the vehicle, the NEXO recuperates energy to charge its battery and maintain a healthy state of charge.

    Fuelling.

    With a short filling time and a driving range of 414 miles (WLTP), the NEXO proves the practicality of its powertrain.

    Fuel cell drivetrain functionality.

    When hydrogen stored in the tanks enters the fuel cell stack, it is broken down into protons and electrons. The flow of electrons created in the fuel cell provides electricity that drives the electric motor, and the protons react with oxygen molecules from the air, generating heat and water – the only emission.

      Step 5.

      The water created in the reaction is emitted – the NEXO’s only tailpipe emission. Hydrogen is a versatile, clean, and safe energy carrier. Generating zero tailpipe emissions at point of use, it can be produced from renewable electricity and from carbon-abated fossil fuels, thereby achieving zero tailpipe emission pathways.

    Extreme cold weather tested and proven.

    The NEXO was developed to cold-start at temperatures as low as -30°C. At our Proving Ground in Sweden, we tested our latest electrified vehicles in the most extreme sub-zero conditions. The rigorous testing ensures winter-proved operation for tough everyday use.

    Connectivity

    Exquisite comfort and seamless connectivity.

    You’ll find class-leading features at every turn. With real-time vehicle performance information, and advanced connectivity and infotainment, driving NEXO feels natural, but enhanced in every way.

      The KRELL sound system delivers stellar performance. 8 speakers and an external amplifier treat everyone on board to a special sound experience.

      Convenience

      Next generation practicality.

      From added comfort to smart features that make you safer and driving easier – all come built-in with the Hyundai NEXO.

        Heated steering wheel.

        A two-spoke, two-tone heated steering wheel adds to the cabin’s clean, modern style, and makes cold weather motoring more appealing, which is handy, as NEXO was developed to cold start at temperatures as low as -30ºC.

        Boot capacity.

        The NEXO offers plenty of room for passengers and cargo with a boot capacity of 461 litres (VDA). The 60/40 rear seats fold flat to give you more flexibility and cargo space.

        Safety

        Hyundai Smart Sense.

        Enjoy greater confidence on the road with Hyundai SmartSense, our cutting-edge Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS. NEXO is leading the way forward with the highest level of ADAS of any mass brand, with safety innovations including a self-parking system and lane-following features.

        NEXO has also been awarded a 5* Euro NCAP rating. Hydrogen is stored in three tanks for extra security in the event of a collision, and a high strength tank protection structure is designed to absorb high energy impacts without transferring impact loads through to the hydrogen tank.

        1. Lane Following Assist (LFA).

          NEXO features Lane Keep Assist (LKAS). When activated, it keeps NEXO centred in its lane at speeds between 0 and 90 mph (where legally permissible). The system senses the car's position in the lane and warns the driver audibly and visually so you can correct your position. If the driver doesn't react, the system then induces corrective steering to guide the vehicle back to a safe position.

        2. Blind-Spot Collision-avoidance Assist (BCA).

          Using two radar sensors in the lower rear bumper, the system warns you of traffic in the blind spot area. If the turn signal indicator is activated, the Lane Change Assist will sound an audible as well as a visual alert.

        3. Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA).

          Sensing the road ahead with a radar and a camera, the AEB system automatically brakes when it detects sudden braking by the car ahead or pedestrians in the road. It initially warns the driver visually and audibly, then it controls the braking according to the collision danger stage and applies maximum braking force to avoid a collision. The system is activated when a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is sensed in front of the car, moving at speeds of 6 mph or above.

        Blind-Spot View Monitor.

        An industry-first, our Blind Spot View Monitor shows the driver side views on the supervision instrument cluster when indicating to change lanes. It also enhances visibility in dark and rainy conditions. We’re the first car manufacturer to provide the driver with video footage from both sides of the vehicle in the instrument cluster.

        Remote Smart Park Assist (RSPA).

        Parking just got much easier. RSPA enables NEXO to autonomously park or move out from a parking space, with or without a driver in the car. Designed especially for narrow parking spaces and garages.
