Product Gallery
Product Overview
Hyundai Nexo (chassis code FE) is a compact fuel cell crossover in production from 2018. It is available with a single hydrogen fuel-cell drivetrain with 120kW of peak power output.
The Nexo is the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle from Korea.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Hyundai Nexo is hardly the "offroader" that Hyundai would like you to think.

Reviewer score 61%, the same amount as 42 adults. CO2 reduction achieved by driving the Nexo over a petrol car. In one 8.7-mile section of my drive, the system claimed CO2 was reduced by 2.1kg. The 120kW motor delivers 161bhp and 291lb ft of torque. It rides comfortably but there’s a fair bit of judder on uneven Tarmac.

Pros
- Powerful 120kW motor
- Easy to drive
Cons
- Heavy and heavy
- Poor handling

Reviewer score 54%Powered by a hydrogen fuell-cell, the Nexo is a replacement for the Hyundai ix35 FCEV crossover, of which a small number were leased in 18 countries since 2013. The Nexo will be offered with right-hand drive and has been engineered around a dedicated platform allowing its motive hardware to be packaged more economically. It also looks good, and provides an interior that, while overly plastic in parts, mixes elegance with pleasing flourishes. But the lack of an extensive hydrogen network and a high price will limit its appeal.

Pros
- Sleek styling
- Impressive fuel cell efficiency
- Decent electric motor
Cons
- High price
- High fuel consumption

Reviewer score 36%The car is every bit as serene as a conventional EV. What it doesn’t have is the surprising turn of speed of a typical electric car. The steering, for one thing, is bizarre, the wheel tugging lightly this way and that. In corners, meanwhile, the car feels heavy, tipping over quite markedly if you carry any meaningful speed through a bend. The Nexo weighs 1814kg and you feel every single kilo.

Pros
- Sleek design
- Superb range
Cons
- High price
- Poor infotainment system

Reviewer score 76%As it's a Hyundai, there should be no surprise that the Nexo packs a ton of features in as standard. There's lots of storage space under the center console, including USB ports and a wireless charging pad. The base Nexo Blue starts at $59,910 including destination, with the Limited costing $3,450.

Pros
- Fantastic infotainment system
