Hyundai’s updated SUV is longer, wider and taller, with hydrogen storage boosted to 6.69kg (up from 6.33kg), extending its range beyond 700km compared with 666km in the previous model.
Additionally, the fuel cell stack now delivers 110kW gross, increasing the motor output to 150kW (201hp). The fuel cell is paired with an onboard battery, which has had its capacity doubled from 40kW to 80kW.
When the vehicle was first unveiled earlier this year, Hyundai highlighted its ‘Route Planner11’ that integrates hydrogen refuelling stations into a planned journey.
The updated Nexo was presented at the 13th World Congress of the Econometric Society (ESWC 2025) event in Seoul, South Korea, giving attendees a chance the exhibit the new FCEV.
Hyundai plans to expand fuel cell production this year, with construction starting on a third Ulsan facility capable of supplying systems for 6,500 hydrogen vehicles annually.
Yet despite its growth ambitions and new FCEV models, the South Korean automotive firm was forced to recallall 1,600 Nexo units in the US and Canada last year over potential hydrogen leaks, highlighting the technical and safety hurdles still facing hydrogen mobility at scale.
