Our take on this /// Verdict

The Hyundai Nexo is a technological marvel that showcases the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the automotive sector. Despite its impressive performance, with a 0-100kmph time of 9.2 seconds and a top speed of 179kmph, the Nexos viability in the Indian market is hindered by the lack of hydrogen fueling infrastructure. The vehicle itself is well-equipped, featuring a 360-degree camera, Level 2 ADAS, leatherette upholstery, and connected car technology. However, the absence of a robust hydrogen refueling network makes it unlikely to be launched in India anytime soon. For those who are early adopters and have access to the necessary infrastructure, the Nexo offers a clean, environmentally friendly alternative, but for the majority, conventional EVs or hybrids remain more practical choices.

Price

The Hyundai Nexo, if it were to be launched in India, would likely come with a hefty price tag. Estimates suggest it could be priced around 65 lakh ex-showroom. Considering the additional costs such as taxes, registration, and insurance, the on-road price could easily exceed 75 lakh. This pricing places the Nexo in a premium segment, making it accessible only to a niche market of buyers who are willing to invest in cutting-edge, eco-friendly technology. Given the current market conditions and infrastructure challenges, this price point may not be justifiable for many potential buyers.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 17 October 2024 11:36 AM Hyundai Motor America has announced a recall for certain 2019-2024 Nexo models due to a defect in the thermally activated pressure relief device (TPRD), which could lead to a hydrogen gas leak and pose a fire risk. The recall affects about 1,545 units, and Hyundai will replace the TPRD at no cost to owners. Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until repairs are completed. I believe this recall highlights the importance of rigorous safety testing for innovative technologies like hydrogen fuel cells.

Thursday, 17 October 2024 06:24 PM The current Hyundai Nexo, despite facing recall issues, has received significant recognition for its safety features. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the Nexo its Top Safety Pick+ honor after it performed well in various crash tests. The vehicle also features advanced safety systems like forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. I think this demonstrates Hyundais strong commitment to occupant safety, even as they address technical challenges.

Wednesday, 25 September 2024 11:31 PM Hyundai is set to launch the second-generation Nexo hydrogen fuel cell crossover in 2025, featuring a radically new design with a boxy shape similar to the redesigned Santa Fe. The new Nexo is expected to deliver nearly 500 miles of range, a significant increase from the current models 380 miles. This upgrade is likely to include a more powerful powertrain and improved practicality. I think this new design and enhanced performance will make the Nexo a more compelling option in the hydrogen vehicle market.

Monday, 23 September 2024 01:28 PM Hyundai has been developing hydrogen powertrains for nearly three decades and remains committed to this technology. The company has signed a deal with General Motors to explore collaboration in multiple areas, including hydrogen technologies. This partnership underscores Hyundais dedication to advancing hydrogen fuel cell technology despite current infrastructure limitations. I believe such collaborations are crucial for the future of hydrogen vehicles.

Monday, 23 September 2024 11:20 AM The 2025 Hyundai Nexo will remain unchanged from the previous model year, with pricing starting at around $63,000 and going up to $66,000 depending on the trim and options. The Nexo comes with advanced features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen, navigation, and various driver-assistance systems. I think the Nexos consistent offerings and complimentary hydrogen fuel for the first six years make it an attractive choice for those interested in hydrogen vehicles.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 04:16 PM The Hyundai Nexo boasts an impressive range, with estimates suggesting it could deliver over 1000km in India, depending on the driving conditions and the specific trim. The Nexo Blue trim is expected to offer a range of approximately 380 miles (around 612 km), while the Nexo Limited trim, with its additional features and larger wheels, would have a slightly reduced range of about 354 miles (around 570 km). This range is comparable to, if not better than, many conventional SUVs, making the Nexo a viable option for long-distance travel, provided the hydrogen refueling infrastructure improves. ABOUT The Hyundai Nexo is a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) that represents Hyundais commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility. Powered by a 95kW fuel-cell stack and a 40kWh battery pack, the Nexo produces 161 horsepower and 395Nm of torque, driving an electric motor.

How daily usability of owning a Hyundai Nexo compares to the daily usability of owning a traditional electric vehicle?

02 January 2025 12:16

I’ve owned both, and the Nexo is great if hydrogen is available. For daily use however, I find a regular EV more convenient because I have a home charger.
