The NEXO will be sold only in California, the only market sufficiently infrastructured to keep the NEXO fueled with hydrogen.
While Hyundai's last fuel-cell vehicle was based on the Tucson, Hyundai decided to give such model its own platform, with its own unique styling and interior. The NEXO's fuel-cell system is the second such powertrain from Hyundai. The automaker claims the NEXO has a better range than before, up to 370 miles.
The NEXO comes in two different configurations, the base model dubbed Blue, as well as a more upscale Limited trim level. NEXO Blue models come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED automatic headlights and daytime running lights, puddle lights, LED brake lights, heated mirrors with LED turn signal indicators and a hands-free liftgate. Inside, standard features include an 8-way, power adjustable driver's seat, a 6-way power adjustable passenger seat, heated front seats, leatherette seating surfaces, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Android auto and Apple CarPlay integration, Sirius XM Satellite radio, an USB input jack, power windows and door locks, Bluetooth controls located on the steering wheel and dual-zone automatic temperature controls.
The Limited trim adds 19-inch wheels, a power sunroof, a heated steering wheel, a remote starter, a Krell 440-watt premium sound system, roof rails, a blind spot monitor, rain-sensing wipers and rear parking sensors.
Standard safety features on the NEXO include driver, passenger, side impact and curtain airbags, stability control and traction control systems, a forward collision avoidance assist system, blind spot warning lights, a lane-keep assist system, a rearview monitor, automatic high beams and an automatic cruise control system that is capable of operating in stop and go traffic.
