Hyundai's Hydrogen-Electric NEXO SUV Earns 5-Star Euro NCAP Safety Rating
Hyundai has made a new kind of car called the NEXO.
It uses hydrogen fuel instead of gasoline or batteries.
This car is very safe because it got the highest safety rating from a group called Euro NCAP.
It can travel up to 826 kilometers on a single fill of hydrogen, and it only takes 5 minutes to refill.
The best part is that it doesn't pollute the air at all.
Hyundai showed this car at a big car show in Seoul in April 2025.
Many people think hydrogen cars might be the best choice for the future because they're clean and efficient.
Hyundai's NEXO FCEV is a hydrogen fuel-cell powered SUV with zero tailpipe emissions.
It offers a range of up to 826 km and can be refilled in just 5 minutes.
The NEXO FCEV achieved a 5-star safety rating in Euro NCAP crash tests.
