Hyundai unveils new version of its hydrogen-powered Nexo SUV, and it's a futuristic head turner

At the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, Hyundai unveiled the all-new Nexo, a hydrogen-powered SUV that’s making waves in the world of clean driving.

This second-generation model is packed with tech upgrades, a fresh design, and impressive performance stats.

While EVs have taken the world by storm, hydrogen cars have largely stayed out of the limelight.

Hyundai’s new hydrogen offering may be just the thing to grab the world’s attention.

The 2025 Nexo boasts a sleek, aerodynamic design inspired by Hyundai’s ‘Art of Steel’ philosophy.

It features a bold new front fascia and advanced lighting elements, giving it a modern and dynamic appearance.

But it’s under the hood where Hyundai’s really changing things up.

Under the hood, the Nexo is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) system that delivers an impressive range of over 435 miles on a full tank.

Refueling takes just five minutes, making it much more convenient than most EVs, and putting it on par with traditional gasoline vehicles.

This is, of course, if you don’t have this particular BYD EV, which promises five minute charging.

Equipped with a new motor system and high-efficiency inverter, the Nexo delivers improved acceleration and smooth overtaking capabilities.

The system’s all-electric range (AER) offers competitive fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for daily commutes and long-distance drives.

Inside the spacious cabin, you’ll see first-row Relaxation Seats, along with increased luggage capacity.

The Nexo also introduces Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, allowing it to power external devices, making it handy for outdoor adventures.

However, while the Nexo offers numerous benefits, hydrogen fueling infrastructure remains a challenge in many regions.

For example, this map of hydrogen stations in the US shows that owning a hydrogen car may not be as convenient as we hope.

Hydrogen is also expensive, and difficult to store and transport.

Still, the 2025 Hyundai Nexo remains a forward-thinking SUV that combines eco-friendly technology with practicality and style.

While you may not get your hands on a hydrogen-powered hypercar anytime soon, Hyundai is paving the way for a more affordable generation of sustainable vehicles.
