Hyundai has launched the Nexo in the United Kingdom, but it will cost you a pretty penny. In fact, it will you put straight in Range Rover territory, as the hydrogen-powered SUV has a starting price of £65,995 ($87,572/€77,156), which includes a £3,500 Plug In Car Grant. There’s only one available trim level called the SE.
You may (or may not) find comfort in the fact that it’s equipped with all sorts of amenities such as LED lights, 19-inch wheels and flush door handles. Customers will be able to choose between five standard exterior colors, including the Titanium Grey, which is available at launch only.
