Hyundai NEXO crossover with a hydrogen 204-horsepower engine is fully revealed: it has become faster

Hyundai has presented the second generation Hyundai Nexo 2026. Its uniqueness lies in the technical "stuffing", namely the presence of a hydrogen fuel cell (FCEV) power plant. Many automakers are working in this direction, but the Japanese Toyota brand and the Korean Hyundai brand have seen visible success so far.

Like the original Hyundai Nexo, the hydrogen version stands out for its technological design with branded parts. However, in this case, special emphasis is placed on the technical part, which, by the way, has decent characteristics. On the other hand, this segment has not yet become widespread due to the underdeveloped infrastructure. Nevertheless, he has a vision for the future.

The Hyundai Nexo is similar in size to the BMW X3. Its length is 4,750 mm. If we talk about the exterior, it stands out with fairly smooth body lines and retro-style elements. The massive front and square headlight fairings contrast with the horizontal lines. This gives the impression that the car is divided into two or even three parts.

Floating rear side windows, a 45-degree tilt rear window and horizontal recesses along the doors accentuate its retro style. At the same time, the optics in front and behind received a pixel design.

Hyundai Nexo is equipped with a 204-horsepower power plant. Hydrogen fuel powers the electric motor, and the battery has a capacity of 80 kW. The car accelerates to "hundreds" in 7.8 seconds instead of the previous 9.2 seconds.
