Bold and Modern Design
The 2025 Nexo uses Hyundai’s ‘Art of Steel’ design philosophy, giving it a stronger and boxier look in the vein of the refreshed Santa Fe. At the front, it has distinctive four-dot LED daytime running lights (DRLs) that create the ‘HTWO’ emblem, symbolizing hydrogen molecules and Hyundai’s hydrogen business brand. The car has a one-of-a-kind four-square rear lamp at the back, further adding to its futuristic looks. The Nexo comes in six sophisticated colors:
- Creamy White Pearl
- Phantom Black Pearl
- Amazon Gray Metallic
- Ocean Indigo Matte
- Ecotronic Gray Pearl
- Goyo Copper Pearl
Spacious and Sustainable Inside
Scotty, inside Nexo is huge. Features up close are great materials, like leather that has undergone cleansing processing plus high quality fabric made of recycled PET, which embodies Hyundai’s emphasis on sustainability. The dashboard is top decked with a huge panoramic curved screen and easy to use controls. Further back, you get a range of practical storage compartments for your stuff. Digital mirrors are also seamlessly integrated into this dashboard with great utility and visibility too.
Cargo space has grown to 993 liters and now easily accommodates four golf bags: perfect for both everyday fun drives and longer trips as well.

Stronger Performance and Efficiency
Our second improved Nexo features a new fuel cell system that boosts performance even more.
