Hyundai's only hydrogen fuel cell car showcased: Check best features
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
