[월간수소경제 이종수 기자] Hyundai Motor Company launched the ‘2021 Nexo’, a hydrogen electric vehicle that enhanced safety and convenience, on the 18th, and started sales in earnest.
According to Hyundai Motor Company, the 2021 Nexo is based on convenience and safety specifications such as △10.25-inch cluster △Wireless navigation update (OTA, Over the Air) △Water discharge function △Rain sensor △Safety power window for front passenger seat, etc. It is characterized by this improvement.
The 10.25-inch cluster, which is 3.25 inches wider than the previous model, enhances driver visibility and provides a more enjoyable driving environment to the driver by applying various color graphics for each normal, eco, eco+driving mode.
In addition, the wireless navigation update function is applied by default, so the latest navigation information can be automatically updated.
The water discharge function is a device that adjusts the water to drain out through the muffler when the driver presses the water discharge button, and prevents floor contamination caused by the generated water discharged from the vehicle muffler. The rain sensor automatically adjusts the optimal number of operations according to the rainfall in the wiper auto mode.
In addition to various convenience specifications, the safety power window function, which automatically lowers the window when an obstacle is caught when closing the window, has been extended from the existing driver’s seat to the first-row passenger seat in consideration of the safety of the occupants.
In addition, the voice recognition vehicle control range has been expanded so that the driver can focus on driving, so that the driver can control the air volume or direction by voice, and control the seat, steering wheel, and side mirrors with heat rays.
The sales price of the 2021 Nexo (based on 3.5% point tax and tax benefit applied) is 67.6 million won for the modern and 70.95 million won for the premium, a decrease of 1.25 million won compared to the previous one.
Hyundai Motor Company announced that it has lowered the selling price to realize carbon neutrality, although it has improved its marketability by additionally applying safety and convenience specifications.
Considering that last year’s Seoul subsidy amounted to 35 million won (government spending 22.5 million won, local government 12.5 million won), the actual customer purchase price will be significantly lowered to 3265 million won for modern and 35.59 million won for premium.
An official from Hyundai Motors said, “We will increase driver satisfaction by applying various convenience specifications that reflect customer needs as a basis for Nexo,” and “We expect that the ultimate eco-friendly car Nexo with Hyundai Motor’s technology will continue to lead the eco-friendly car market. ”
