Hyundai NEXO
The 2023 NEXO shows Hyundai's commitment to fuel cell vehicles. While their last such vehicle was based on the Tucson, Hyundai decided to give its replacement its own platform, with its own unique styling and interior to go along with its unique drivetrain. That drivetrain has also been improved since it was last seen; Hyundai claims 20 percent better acceleration for the NEXO along with a range that's estimated at 380 miles. Like most electric vehicles, the NEXO is nearly silent in its operation.
The NEXO comes in two different configurations, the base model dubbed Blue, as well as a more upscale Limited trim level. NEXO Blue models come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED automatic headlights and daytime running lights, puddle lights, LED brake lights, and heated mirrors with LED turn signal indicators. Inside, standard features include an 8-way, power adjustable driver's seat, a 6-way power adjustable passenger seat, heated front seats, leatherette seating surfaces, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Android auto and Apple CarPlay integration, Sirius XM Satellite radio, 3 USB jacks, power windows and door locks, Bluetooth controls located on the steering wheel and dual-zone automatic temperature controls.
The Limited trim adds 19-inch wheels, a power sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, a remote starter, a Krell 440-watt premium sound system, roof rails, rain-sensing wipers, and a hands-free liftgate.
Standard safety features on the NEXO include driver, passenger, side impact and curtain airbags, stability control and traction control systems, a forward collision avoidance assist system, blind spot warning lights, a lane-keep assist system, a rearview monitor, automatic high beams, front and rear parking sensors and an automatic cruise control system that is capable of operating in stop and go traffic.
