· NEXO continues Hyundai’s momentum toward the
industry’s most diverse CUV powertrain lineup
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 11,
2018 – Already
one of the most talked about technologies at the 2018 Consumer Electronic Show
(CES), Hyundai’s newly unveiled 2019 NEXO Fuel Cell Vehicle has won the
Reviewed.com Editor’s Choice award for the show. Following review of hundreds
of products at CES, the publication’s recognition highlights the NEXO as a key
product in both the tech and automotive space for 2018.
One of 34 products
to be recognized out of the tens of thousands displayed at this year’s CES, the
award stems from the NEXO for its potential to help the hydrogen-powered
vehicle space grow and its 370-mile range, along with the fact that its only
tailpipe emission is water.
“The NEXO represents the culmination of cutting edge
technology in the alternative fuel space and Hyundai’s continued leadership not
only in the hydrogen fuel space, but across the alternative fuel spectrum,”
said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product, Corporate and Digital Planning,
Hyundai Motor America. “Hydrogen energy is key to moving toward a more
sustainable society and Hyundai is proud to be leading the charge in bringing
the technology to a wider audience.”

Editor’s Choice award is chosen by a team of editors and researchers who comb
through the vast number of products at CES every year to choose the ones
consumers will “actually buy in 2018,” foregoing the conceptual for those
products that will actually be useful and available for consumers in 2018.
NEXO is Hyundai’s
second-generation of commercialized fuel cell electric vehicle that will be
available in select markets around the world starting in early 2018. Improving
upon the acclaimed Tucson FCEV, the NEXO’s 370 mile range is an improvement of
105 miles over its predecessor. Moreover, the vehicle boasts improved
acceleration and power, ability to handle extreme temperature and environments
and safety technology such as Blind-sport View Monitor and Lane Following
Assist.
