Hyundai launches refreshed Nexo hydrogen SUV

2025 Hyundai Nexo Hydrogen SUV

At the Seoul Mobility Show in South Korea, Hyundai unveiled the brand new hydrogen Nexo SUV. The model has been on sale since 2018 and has only really served a very small market, with the company pulling sales of the car in the UK back in 2022, after less than 50 units were sold.

Hyundai has totally redesigned the new Nexo, with more range, more power, a larger footprint and new interior. The Nexo is now longer, taller and wider than the its predecessor, now sitting at 4.75m long, 1.87m wide and 1.64m tall.

The main headline stats are that the new Nexo has a fully redesigned powertrain, now making 110kW from the fuel cell, vs 95kW on the old one. The battery is also larger, at 80kW vs 40kW - as is the hydrogen full tank, now capable of holding 6.69kg vs 6.33kg. These changes have improved the range from 666km (413 miles), to now over 700km (434 miles).

Much like Hyundai's EVs, the Nexo is now capable of vehicle-to-load, allowing external devices and appliances to be powered from the car, essentially turning it into a hydrogen generator.

Inside, the Nexo borrows the same interior as the electric cars that Hyundai makes, with two 12.3-inch displays as well as digital mirrors, something you can spec on the Ioniq 6, for example.

The real issue with this, is the lack of hydrogen filling stations in many countries. Even though Hyundai is targeting to launch the new Nexo in “global markets this year”, it is unlikely that the company will launch it in the UK, due to the distinct lack of infrastructure. This is without mentioning the issues with the actual production and the emissions of doing so. Also the UK currently has just four hydrogen filling stations, according to UK H2 Mobility.
