Hyundai recently unwrapped its latest marvel, the second-generation Nexo hydrogen fuel cell SUV. Drawing inspiration from the 2024 Initium concept, the new Nexo showcases Hyundai's innovative 'Art of Steel' design language, setting it apart from conventional BEV and ICE vehicles. Boasting a robust powertrain with 204hp, a 6.69kg hydrogen tank, and a 2.64kWh battery, the Nexo offers a remarkable range exceeding 700km, as per Hyundai's internal evaluations. The new Nexo features a design that closely mirrors the striking Initium concept, incorporating HTWO front and rear lights, H-shaped panels, and a distinctive three-coat paint for a dynamic visual impact. Inside, the Nexo offers a futuristic experience with a 12.3-inch display pair, digital screens for camera feeds, and premium amenities like a 14-speaker sound system and wireless charging. In terms of safety, Hyundai prioritizes passenger protection by equipping the Nexo with 9 airbags, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and a robust body structure designed for enhanced rigidity. The company aims to maintain its top-tier safety ratings with this new model. While the Nexo is set for a global launch in 2025, Hyundai has previously showcased the model in India, signaling potential interest in the market. However, limited hydrogen filling infrastructure poses challenges for widespread adoption. Hyundai is actively exploring the feasibility of fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in India, reflecting a commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
