Hyundai's only hydrogen fuel cell car showcased: Check best features
What's the story
Hyundai is showcasing its technological prowess at the ongoing 2024 Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi.
The South Korean automaker has revealed its only hydrogen fuel-cell-powered vehicle, the NEXO.
It uses advanced fuel cell technology to charge the large 95kWh battery and packs several feel-good features such as a remote parking function and multi-mode regenerative braking.
Here's a look at its best features.
Design
Firstly, let's look at the design of Hyundai NEXO
The NEXO follows the Hyundai's parametric design philosophy.
It flaunts a long and sculpted bonnet, a full-width LED light bar, bumper-mounted LED projector headlamps, sleek black roof rails, flush-fitted door handles, flared wheel arches with black cladding, and 17/19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
At the rear end, the EV features wrap-around LED taillamps with fiber optic elements, a roof-mounted spoiler, and a shark-fin antenna.
Information
It promises range of up to 600km
Unlike traditional EVs which take hours to recharge, Hyundai NEXO's 156-liter hydrogen fuel tank can be refilled in just five minutes. With its 161hp/395Nm single electric motor and 95kWh battery pack, the NEXO promises a range of up to 600km.
Interiors
Car gets wide single-pane sunroof and champagne-colored trims
On the inside, the Nexo has a spacious five-seater cabin with either a single-tone or a dual-tone color scheme.
It gets ventilated front seats, a wide single-pane sunroof, blue-colored ambient lighting, automatic climate control with an air purifier, and a floating-type central cluster.
It packs a 7.0-inch driver's display, a 12.3-inch infotainment panel, and a premium surround sound system tuned by KRELL.
Information
It comes equipped with 'Hyundai SmartSense' Level-2 ADAS suite
To ensure the safety of its passengers as well as pedestrians, the NEXO gets the Hyundai SmartSense Level-2 ADAS suite. It features several functions such as Forward Collision-avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist.
Convenience
NEXO gets smart key with remote parking function
To further up the convenience factor, the Hyundai NEXO gets a smart key with a remote parking function.
The feature allows the driver to use the 360-degree-view camera setup and ultrasonic sensors to maneuver the car in a tight parking spot using switches on the smart key from outside.
Apart from this, the user can also remotely open and close the electric tailgate.
