- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2020 Hyundai Nexo is a car unlike anything Hyundai's built before, when you take its styling, technology and propulsion into account. In fact, it's so advanced, it could just be the way forward for many of Hyundai's future models.

Here in Korea, we get a 50% discount on this thing. The government wants these clean vehicles on the road, so they subsidize it. It's very cool!
Had no idea Kim Jung Un cared so much about the environment!
@@ejohnson3131 I guess that's a joke?
@@dearbulls lol. Don't you know what they do with your tax dollars?
John Holst - You didn't specify North or South Korea, so I thought I'd throw in a little joke.
@@dearbulls You don't pay less in taxes. And you certainly don't get to decide where your tax dollars go.
Cool car. I actually like all the buttons instead of a big screen, much easier to access when driving along!
Safer than Tesla
Have fun with your calculator dash I’ll take a screen anyday
All I know is if I am allowed to use a screen in my car then I should be allowed to use my phone if mounted. Is that safe?🤔
@@pollumG Exactly! With Tesla you even have to use the screen to open the glovebox, insane! How is that allowed under safety laws, constantly taking your eyes off the road to fiddle around with a touchscreen. Physical buttons for the most often used controls are far better.
@@CheekRunner You need to take your eyes off the road to use a touchscreen!
I have the 2019 Nexo. I wanted hydrogen car and this was the only SUV-ish size available. The cup holder is placed in a slightly awkward position for the driver (not a big deal). There are a lot of buttons but you get used to most of them. TBH - I never read the owner's manual and haven't used most features (including self-park). My husband loves the smart cruise control feature and I like the blind spot monitoring. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I didn't already live near fueling stations. Sometimes fueling can get complicated. especially when those stations are down. I'm generally very happy with it.
Hi, how big is the tank capacity ? How far u can drive with it ? How much cost do U have , to re-fuel the tank? Here 100g/9euro (OMV ) . Thank U :-)
Guess what I have the 2022 and they still put that cup holder in an awkward position SMH
@@nympho25 it really is in the worst position! And only one! Oh well. They also made it inconvenient to have your phone easily available while driving (wireless charging under the flight deck/center console area) which is great for safety.
@@rodinasirotnikova859 6.7kg tank or so. Usual range on a full fill is between 320-359 for me so far (depends on the pressure at the station, the newer stations are high capacity too so once we get more of those that should be a thing of the past and we’ll always get our top range of maybe 360-370. Some people get 390. Die isn’t on surface streets gives more range too because while you can’t drive on the battery alone, it helps it along and regenerates energy from braking and slowing. It’s an awesome car. Filling only takes a few minutes too vs. longer for a battery EV
@@rodinasirotnikova859 oh and no cost for fuel :) the car companies give you a card worth 15k or 3 years whichever comes first. So most lease because the fuel is still expensive if you were going to pay out of pocket.
Hyundai/Kia really out here doing the most. Solar panel hybrid, Hot hatch, performance sedan, and now a hydrogen SUV. All that on top of the launching of the genesis brand. They went from zero to hero in just the last 5-10 years. Happy to see Hyundai becoming one of the best car brands out there.
This is what I actually want rather than a full EV. Someone needs to get on the ball and start building out a network of charging stations one state at a time.
The problem is plain economics and resources. Not that many people are willing to drive a vehicle that only gets 1mi/kWh on green energy vs a BEV that gets 4mi/kWh.
*I would like to own one if Hydrogen stations are available.* ❤️😍
All it will take is time to build the infrastructure. Remember, they said the same about electric cars as well when they first came out. Here in BC we have had "experimental" buses for over 10 years with fuel cells (Ballard Power). I think these are a better solution simply of the refill time vs electric. Makes going long distances the same as using fossil fuels as opposed to waiting for an electric to fully charge (65-75 minutes at its fastest, with a 250 Kwh Supercharger, and those aren't everywhere). That's an extra 3-4 hours from Vancouver to Calgary.
you are everywhere man
@@rvdrivingforce418 I don't know about this technology. It seems like a bad idea. The efficiency is 10 %. Compared to purely electric vehicles that have 70 % - 80 % is just not good. You need electricity to produce hydrogen. There is 45 % lost energy in this process. Furthermore the hydrogen still needs to be converted back to electricity resulting in other 45% loss. That leaves just 10 % of energy left of the power that was put in. These hydrogen vehicles still need batteries, might aswell use only batteries.
@@rvdrivingforce418 Please check this out. www.tesla.com/trips?redirect=no#/?v=MY_2020_LongRange&o=Calgary,%20AB,%20Canada_Calgary%20Division%20No.%206%20AB@51.04473309999999,-114.0718831&s=&d=Vancouver,%20BC,%20Canada_Vancouver%20Metro%20Vancouver%20BC@49.2827291,-123.1207375
Yeah you are right it adds 1.5 hours extra, 3 hours both ways.
Nicola strongly wanted to collaborate with Hyundai
However, Hyundai rejected Nikola's offer several times
Nikola's hydrogen truck is expected to be difficult to commercialize without Hyundai Motors' technology.
Nikola's stock today is very likely to be fake.
Seems like there was a pretty damning report on Nikola
Impressive what Hyundai built here. I think the infrastructure problem could be solved if we could retrofit existing gas stations if possible. Hydrogen makes a lot more sense to me than an all electric car like a Tesla. Beautiful interior on the Nexo. Seems a lot higher quality than the Tesla imho.
@@larryspiller15 It's getting more efficient and costs are coming down as well. Choice is good. Some people may choose to pay more for fuel for the reduced time to fuel an EV.
@@larryspiller15 but nuclear energy is making a comeback and is very efficient.
@@larryspiller15 not sure where you got that number but I doubt you are up to date on the latest nuclear technology.
More conspiracy theories.
The nexo got pretty close to the land rover
Me as a NYC driver: It didn't even touch the bumper, go back further!
Any car with a BumperBully is fair game
Or NJ driver lol I second that tho having lived in NYC and now NJ
It got nowhere close to the land rover lol, where I live we drive down to the cm to park in the city 😂
I would like to own one if Hydrogen stations are available.
Move to Cali.
Wait, Cali sucks.
@@NinoNlkkl Not even Cali ... San Diego county only has 1 station. For perspective, SD county is larger than Delaware or Rhode Island and almost as big as Connecticut in size and is the 5th most populous county in the US.
@@Bakerking3 I live in LA county. Way to grouted for me.
Moving out state once kids leave nest.
Not hard to find in LA area. I remember pulling up to a gas station where 3 different hydogen cars were lined up for H2. It was a cool sight...
@@biglee13m yup. And I see quite few of these Nexos around.
it makes me so happy to see people loving this car. it makes me proud to be a korean, as our cars have been hated for so long.
Love my G80!
Genesis man, what's not to love
Genesis after creating its own design is very prideful
My 07 santa fe is very well loved by me.
Love the positivity in the review. Great job Tommy!
I’d love to buy that if it were available in arizona. It’s attractive and purposeful. Good review!
Where are you going to fill it up? San Diego?
There is one H2 station in my city, the company i work for made the compressor for the station, i see a few Nexos around. Hyundai actually increased the price by 10.000€ because the demand was too high.
H2 refueling stations are expensive to build.
This seems to be the best future moving forward. We just need the infrastructure of hydrogen fuel points.
Hyundai and Kia are changing the game. Crazy how by around 2025 every person will drive one of these two brand cars 🔥
Bro from the 90s using mitsu old engines to mitsu using Hyundai (Korean engineered engines) as well as Chrysler and also Mercedes Benz announcing they want to partner with Hyundai man have they come a long way
rob malcolm what exactly does Mercedes Benz want to do? I can’t find anything about it.
@@Jmonique2006 I'm not exactly sure,
But I did see someone or a site say that Mercedes Benz announced they wanted to work with Hyundai at a auto show or whatever it is the brands have. I believe it was the CEO of Benz who said that. Possibly maybe a partnership. Like a good example is the Ford fusion of 11 that I think Ford and idk if it was volvo got together. Which shows you why even tho that's a small Ford and small ones aren't as good as the big Ford's that car tends to be pretty reliable for a Ford and American brand. Im not big on European brands but at one point Benz were very reliable and had long lasting engines. Mostly the ones made in germany with German vin numbers and not made in Mexico or America like they are now (no shade at them they just don't have the same quality controls in place) Maybe they see the progress Hyundai has made and see how reliable they have become and see the threat they can pose to other brands and want to be apart of it.
I would take this over an electric car any day! Super cool! This makes me excited for future cars.
Never ever…
Imagine one of those atoms randomly deciding to split lmao
I’m very disappointed about the lack of infrastructure for these vehicles... the tech has been around for decades! My mother worked for a company that was developing this type of drivetrain back in the late 70’s. Why the hell isn’t hydrogen taking off like a EV’s are? I’d rather have a NEXO, than a Tesla quite frankly.
Big oil, bribe all politicians. That's y. HA.HA.HA
I think Elon made the difference. You need a known face to make masses trust a new tech. I think Toyota is trusted enough that they could push the h2 cell, but saddly they arent willing to.
That's not a "tight spot" by European standards. It's actually a large spot.
Hyundai and Kia are killing it lately. They are making the GT line which I think injects youthful sporty energy. There reliable is climbing as well. Really enjoy my Kia K900. Keep it up Hyundai Motors! Tommy thanks for the Arizona shout out!
Tommy that last space was miles of space. Bring that thing to ny nj and try parking it here.
IMO this is the future, not having to plug in a freaking car!
you forgot solar charging
You will have to plug the H2 nozzle in to the vehicle.
@@larryspiller15 well electric will never be the answer, you say hydrogen isn't efficient yet it's still like5x more efficient than gasoline which is the worst in efficiency. Honestly I don't think Dyno fuel is going anywhere we have 100's of years left and natural gas which is easy to covert almost any vehicle. Sorry but ev sucks, until you can charge a car from 0% to 100% in the time it take to fill up, it will never be the norm. I don't want to hear about this 80% charge crap either, no one fills up to just 80% I want and so do others 100%
@@larryspiller15 You are in cloud cookoo land with those numbers. If you're going to BS at least get it in the ballpark.
I ordered one nexo. Delivery time one year. Too many orders right now. Can't wait. Price in Germany 75.000 euros. German government invest billions in H2 technology.
It's funny how the spot was to small for him to be comfortable parking in , but the car is like Nahhh it'll be fine 😂
He got nowhere close to the cars to be honest, if I was parking in there I'd drive down to the inch close lol
Close? That's nothing. When you nudge then that's close 🤣
I would lease this TODAY if they had it available (along with fueling stations) in Austin, TX. Great video! Thanks.
I love the design! They should make a hybrid version or a combustion engine of it. I live in Arizona and I drive too much to own a hydrogen car. I’m in love with the interior.
Fuel Cell technology has always been the most interesting propulsion to me. Of course there's nowhere to fuel one up around here either.
That thing is gorgeous. Love the styling! Thanks Tommy, great review.
Lol I fell out when he kept tapping the fuel door and then realized that there is a lever for it.
0:57 Interesting "Tank Expiration Date of 05. 2039" on the fuel door.
All high-pressure containers have an "expiration" date...
High pressure tanks typically have 300-700 bar pressure (Atmospheric air pressure is 1 bar) so like Mario said all have an expiration date but even though 18 years is pretty damn long.
One thing I wish manufactures would stop doing is painted silver buttons. They never wear well.
id take that over gloss black buttons any day
Aluminum backlit buttons?
@@beastp9569 no, silver painted plastic buttons
Better than piano black
auto parking was absolutely fine for me...in short spaces you have to back close to other cars/...even if you do it yourself
Been parallel parking for years without a camera. Just got a new car with a backup camera and it’s a godsend. Super paranoid about scratching my rims and the camera helps.
Is there anything like a MPG figure and what about cost of fuel ?
MPG its rated at 60-65 63 combined and $12-15 per Gal- Nexo has 11 gal tank $130 to refuel at current rates. but if we create more facilities that produce it that price will go down
It’s probably not expensive since you said that if we have the most of it
@@larryspiller15 you are 100% correct sir, in fact rescesher are looking into natural way to make with pants. But the other problem with 3lectric car is the Lithium battery there is only a Finite available. In order for electric car to shine where gonna need more or another way to store the power.
@@mrfear619 h2 is not measured in gallons
@@TheoPhilpot well, H2 is compressed so it is liquid so it might be measured in gallons or liters.
Folks, I don’t get it. Lack of hydrogen infrastructure should not be a problem. All Hyundai dealerships should have an Electrolysis (to fracture H2O) and storage tank (to store the hydrogen) from which Nexo customers can come by and fuel up. In addition, similar to the way I get liquid propane delivered to my house and stored in a 100 gallon tank to be used throughout the winter, can’t a similar setup be available where a delivery company like Air Products can come to my house and top off a 200 gallon tank every 2-3 weeks? Filling up the Nexo would be as simple as refilling a liquid propane tank (obviously with the safety precautions necessary for hydrogen gas dispensing). It would be done at home and, for long drives, at any Hyundai dealership in the U.S. Forget gas stations. That’s last century’s solution.
I have wanted the industry to go H2 for a long time now. I know that H2 is a volatile substance. At just 4% concentration it is flammable, at just 8% it can be explosive. Many people associate H2 with the Hindenburg and that is understandable. Easing those fears is going to be tough sell. One worry I would have, in this country at least, is that there are plenty of idiots that still insist on smoking while fueling. That is just a disaster waiting to happen. I think that if there was a nationwide H2 infrastructure established, those stations would have to be along the lines of what Or and NJ have, full service attendants. That of course would add to the cost of the fuel. All in all, I do not see this as being mainstream across the country for at least 50 years and it will take some serious kick backs from the federal government to make that happen.
If the car can park itself, just program it to interact with the fuel station -- car parks in an exact spot, a robotic arm extends which finds the fueling port, iris opens -- all connections are verified tight before any fuel begins to dispense. Problem solved.
Hydrogen Is Getting Into Scene Now.Hopefully In 5 Years Things Is Going To Change Alot.
Loved the parking feature good for seniors. I wonder how long it took for the parking and exiting parking? Just wanted to know how many times you gonna honked at? Time it next time Tommy. You can time it off the main rolling camera. As always another good one.
Nice tech.
First time seen on the Fast Lane.
Thanks, fast bros !
I Work at Capitol Hyundai, the exclusive Northern California Silicon Valley provider of the NEXO.
I totally understand the anxiety of self parking, but the car has many Sensors, eyes where we don't and it is pretty cool when we trust the machine.
If any one is interested they are welcome to reach out if you are located in the Bay Area.
At 5:28 the air rushing in is to give us the Oxygen and not Hydrogen which by the way is already there in a highly compressed state in the hydrogen tank.
Looks like a much better designed vehicle than the Toyota Mirai.
It's much more practical for passengers. Especially if you were to be stuck sitting in the middle of the back seat in a Mirai straddling the giant center tank.
Fuel cells have an added advantage....they can take advantage of the intermittent nature of wind and solar. if you use wind and solar to make hydrogen, it allows you to effectively store their intermittent outputs of energy. Also, fuel cells allow apartment dwellers than cannot charge their cars to enjoy the clean energy. While pure electric cars are more efficient, they require steady sources of electricity, long charge times and you have to be able to charge them at home to get the cost savings. I hope fuel cells win this battle.
Good review.
I guess they made the car a crossover because that is the type of car with the greatest demand today.
It's great they target this segment. Crossovers make a lot of sense for a lot of people in urban areas today. You have some advantages of an SUV yet you don't have to drive and park a truck-sized behemoth around a city.
Now, if they only removed like half of the useless stuff from this car, I could consider buying it..
So how do you plan on getting it from Colorado to a hydrogen port? I’m confused
In my view hydrogen are better than electric i think and obviously it takes times to build a station. In early there are no ev station only petrol pump station are there ev station r built later slowly and slowly similarly if we want then we also can build hydrogen station slowly and slowly
Hydrogen cars are more environmentally friendly cars than electric cars. Many countries have to build hydrogen charging stations.
Even better, repurpose the existing petrol stations so we don't need to be building more than necessary
Any change between the 2020 and 2021?
Also, I have been trying to find out what new hydrogen charging stations might be under construction in CA. Any idea of where I can check?
Because of your video, we just bought it now. Thank you Tommy!
I live only a few miles away from a couple of hydrogen stations in NYC. I am seriously considering the Toyota Mirai but I will definitely check out the Nexo before I sign a lease.
I'd love love love to own one of these funky fururistic cars but sadly there are just no fueling stations anywhere 😭
Very interesting 🧐 I would like to try one out!
Now a modern car I would definitely be interested in. Great video.
What do they charge for hydrogen, just wondering.
Apparently, there are three hydrogen fueling stations in San Francisco where I live. All of them are Shell stations.
I for once, in fact support the body shape of Nexo. Even it does not resemble a SUV produced for the car market in the USA, it resemble a small CUV used worldwide. I mean who does not want a CUV can choose a sedan - Honda Clarity or Toyota Mirai. Anyway this technology will always be for the future, in the present not being ready, supported by manufacturers, by infrastructure or even commercially viable. In California these cars might become collectible one day.
It's about equivalent to 5.60 a gallon.
@@JoeCnNd That sounds pretty bad on paper
I would definitely have one if the fuel issue was more abundant. Southern Indiana is two tads behind.
Amazing car!, great review, and in my opinion this is the real future of the cars (more than fully electric). Unfortunately, the infrastructure is really limited... so no idea when this is going to be available.
It’s not because it is super inefficient. And no, this will never get considerably better.
@@Simon-dm8zv inefficient compared to?. This technology still has a long road and needs to develop a lot more, but this is a beginning. The same thing happened with gas engines... Or you forgot that 30 yrs ago a mustang with a V8 5.0 engine will develop 178hp..., the same thing with electric cars.
@@D_M_W_ Compared to battery electric vehicles. The technology for hydrogen fuel cell cars has been around for a long time. Efficiency has not improved and will never improve considerably because of laws of physics. There is no way around that.
I think Mercedes-Benz disagrees. Take a look of the new Mercedes GenH2 truck... that proves that they are improving this technology... slowly?, yes (agree on that) but improving.
@@D_M_W_ The Mercedes truck proves nothing about improved efficiency.
They had to fuel stations in Central Florida I will get one
How would those door handles handle an ungaraged parking lifestyle, say, in New England or Colorado?
Are the heated so they can operate if the car is coated with ice, sleet, or frozen wet snow?
I want one more than the Tesla!
“Its a car youve never seen”
How the hell havent i, a car psycho, seen this?
“Because you can only drive it in Cali”
Ah
the center console layout is similar to that of Kona electric. it would have been a hit with H2 but producing H2 is expensive and costs too much electricity and you end up with an expensive car and you got to pay for H2 which let's say costs about more than half of the cost using conventional fuels such as petrol or diesel to drive the same distance..
19:30 if they make it into some flashy, sporty, and whatnot, people won't drive it on a daily basis. That defeats the sole purpose of a zero-emissions vehicle if you are only taking the car out only on occasion. The numbers on the dashboard of cleaning the air, savings people's lungs, and other metrics would not be relevant on a once in a blue moon type of vehicle. This is meant as a daily driver, inconspicuous, "normal" and not "weird, frumpy, or radical".
I just found one at a dealer a couple hours away and the price is $60k. It says you can get $25k off the limited version. The lease price was $3,500 down and $1,017/month for 36 months. I don't know where you saw them leased for less than $400/month.
I'm bummed since there are 3 different fueling stations in my town.
What do you think about used ones? I’m looking at one for only $15k. It’s a 2019 with less than 30,000 miles
Noone: How are you gonna cover the massive fuel cells?
Hyundai: BUTTONS galore!!!
How many miles until you have to refuel?
Proud to be Indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Cool car and most people prefer buttons to the touch screen. If Your touchscreen dies you'll be screwed.the button look premium.
In my culture, parallel parking is a rite of passage.
Recently I changed to this car, and I am really satisfied with this car. If you are about to change a car and have a H2 stantion nearby, just get this. You won't regret!!
would absolutely buy one if the infrastructure is there. Dont have to wait to fill up which is a huge negative about the Tesla. Plus the build quality of the Tesla's I've sat in have been garbage. Good work Hyundai!
The 350ish range is practical for long drives based on how long I can hold off a bathroom break.
I love the styling. They should add to the family, maybe an all electric and then a gas powered version. I'd buy one of the other two since I live in Minnesota.
LMAO his face when he took that sip 😂
Sits in car with back up and 360 camera, but still rolls down window to ask someone if your going to hit the car?! UA-cam drama
Be nice if they made some stations. Sounds like great tech. I'd love to get one. If it was viable.
How does the cost compare to fuel prices for equal range?
~360 range on full tank and Hyundai pays your fuel :) so I have the same payment as my Lexus hybrid that got 29mpg + fuel costs. Now 60mpg estimated via electric conversion and $0 fuel costs 🙌 not much more to insure either unlike a Tesla.
This car is wicked Pissah! Good for Hyundai they have been doing some cool different stuff for a bit now. I can’t remember the exact year but I bought one of the first Hyundai’s they brought to the U.S in the 80’s at least I think it was when they first came here,but it was a good little car. I’ve had a couple different Hyundai products over the years(mostly as a second car for commuting) and they have been un-killable if taken care of!! One Sonata I had got passed in the family to 4 different people and did it’s job every day.
Dude tasted the water..... NEXO engineers, 😂 HAHAHAHAHAHA.
He did taste it , but he spit it out
I wish there were hydrogen fuel stations on the east coast as this is one of the coolest cars ever
I'm honestly surprised oil companies haven't invested more in infrastructure. If BEVs become the norm gas stations are essentially dead, but if fuel cells become the norm they will still have a product to sell to consumers.
Under the hood, it's where the SCIENCE happens. Enough of magic. Also,
great video!
Old buttons for new features good combination
Love your channel!
I’ve got a Kona and I want this
Well Done! Enjoyed the vid. Hydro will get there, just be patient! Cheers!
as an awful driver , i need one .
Would like to see this more readily available. Just not a fan of completely electric plus charge times. This or a completely abundant renewable energy source like bio gas. I mean 3rd world countries use it for cooking and to run transportation devices. No reason the rest of the world can't adopt it and clean up the environment in the process
You talk about how batteries lose their potential in the cold, but gases expand amd contract as well as change their volume and pressure according to temperature. If it gets too cold, the gas will be more dense than usual while in the heat it will be less dense and take up more volume.
I think the pop out handles are great if you live in urban cities where people will randomly try to open your car door while you're stopped at a red light.
Most cars are locked automatically when car in drive mood or neutral
So the future is hydrogen well I can’t argue it’s coming but I’ll keep my gas burners on trucking
Mate, great video, sub. but the issue is that now i really want one - none in the UK :(
This makes me so happy. The main reason I can't stand cities is because of the air pollution and car noise. This is a miracle come true
It enters and exists the parking spot like I drive 😂
is the nexo similar to the palisade in quality?
The front reminds me of Lucid Air
I think this is a good alternative to an electric car as far as like climate. I do like the idea that it makes water. Does this have a battery or is it all generated by the hydrogen and used immediately?
I would buy one for a daily with that 15k fuel credit here in Indiana for sure. Of course the mechanical warranty would have to be 5-6 years I hope. If Hyundai/Kia stepped up and offered a hydrogen infrastructure, the benefits would be massive. I’m a huge car guy, owning Corvette race cars, Mustang race cars, full size trucks and suvs for everyday use, but I would definitely buy a Nexo type vehicle for a new family daily just to help the planet and maybe keep big oil prices down for my fun vehicles. I’m already considering a Tesla or a new big three electric vehicle (Hummer?) just for emissions and possible cost savings overall. Thanks Tommy and TFL. I watch all the videos
And this car purifies air as it accelerates.
They need these in Michigan i would so drive one
I like how the center is the the complete opposite of Tesla. Give me knobs and buttons!
H2 highway on west coast. Vancouver, Canada had a highway to Whistler with H2 buses for the 2010 olympics.
