Nexo is proof of our dedication to sustainable motoring technology without compromise, offering an SUV that can travel up to 570 kilometres** and emit nothing more than water and purified air.
Over the past several years, the market has become flooded with SUVs, but the Hyundai Nexo is no ordinary crossover. The Nexo is distinguished from the vast the sea of SUVs by its hydrogen-fuel cell electric powertrain. Instead of needing to be plugged in like most EVs, the Nexo—like its nearest rival, the " data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Toyota Mirai">Toyota Mirai—powers its electric motors using hydrogen, with its tanks taking around just five minutes to top off. This provides up to 380 miles of emissions-free driving between refills, and those fueling stops are far quicker than recharging an EV.
The Hyundai Nexo's 95-kW fuel-cell stack and 40-kWh battery pack power an electric motor rated at 161 horsepower with 291 pound-feet of torque.
The motor drives the front wheels through a single-speed gearbox; all-wheel drive is not available. In our testing, the Nexo delivered a zero-to-60-mph result of 8.4 seconds, quicker than the Mirai. This acceleration figure also puts the hydrogen-fueled Hyundai in step with conventional, gasoline-powered compact crossovers. As with its fuel-cell brethren, the Nexo really isn't thrilling to drive. Still, its electrically assisted steering is appropriately tuned—on the light side but with a steady feel.
