Hyundai Motor Co. says it received 733 reservations for its Nexo fuel cell-powered SUV/crossover on Monday, the first day of preordering in South Korea.
The incentives reduce the purchase price of a Nexo in Korea to roughly 35 million won ($32,700). That price is about the same as that of Hyundai’s conventionally powered Santa Fe SUV.
Hyundai unveiled the Neo in January at the CES electronics show in Las Vegas. The car also will be sold in the U.S. and a few other markets.
The Nexo succeeds Hyundai’s first-generation fuel cell vehicle, the Tucson FCEV crossover vehicle introduced five years ago. The new model is larger, lighter and more powerful. The SUV also can travel about 600 km (370 miles) per fill-up of hydrogen fuel—about 25% farther than the Tucson FCEV.
