Hyundai Motor Company, one of the leading passenger vehicle manufacturers globally, has redesigned the IONIQ 6 and the all-new NEXO fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) at the Seoul Mobility Show 2025.

Building upon the success of the original IONIQ 6 launched in 2022, the refreshed model features a more refined aesthetic and improved proportions, embodying the design philosophy of ‘Pure Flow, Refined.’

Senior Vice-President Simon Loasby noted that the lineup each expresses a distinct character while adhering to a cohesive vision. Key exterior updates include an elevated hood, sharper curves, and the removal of the prominent rear spoiler in favour of a more integrated ducktail design to enhance aerodynamics. The vehicle now sports updated front and rear lighting with slim DRLs and modern chrome accents, while the economic body flow reflects its streamlined nature.

On the Inside, the IONIQ 6 offers the ‘Mindful Cocoon’ experience, prioritising user comfort with new steering wheels, premium materials and enhanced functionality, including an enlarged climate control display.

In tandem, Hyundai presented the IONIQ 6 N Line variant, which inherits aggressive design elements from the RN22e Rolling Lab. The N Line features bold, wing-shaped bumpers and extensive use of black accents for a sportier profile. The announcement teased the upcoming release of the IONIQ 6 N, a high-performance variant set to debut in July 2025.

NEXO

The all-new NEXO represents Hyundai's commitment to redefining hydrogen electric vehicles. With an anticipated range exceeding 700 km from a five-minute refuelling, the second-generation NEXO is said to underscore Hyundai's expertise in fuel cell technology cultivated over 27 years. This new model embraces the 'Art of Steel' design language, reflecting strength and form through bold lines and a sturdy architecture, while ‘HTWO’ lamps solidify its identity as an FCEV.

Aerodynamically optimised and sporting a spacious interior, the NEXO offers advanced comfort with features like Premium Relaxation Seats, a roomy cabin with improved cargo capacity of up to 993 litres, and sustainable materials throughout. The vehicle's design marries modern aesthetics with practical usability, such as smart storage solutions and digital displays.

Performance-wise, the NEXO's powertrain advancements boost the power output to 190 kW from a previous 135 kW, facilitating a quicker 0-100 kmph time of 7.8 seconds. The FCEV's fuel efficiency has also improved thanks to an increase in hydrogen tank capacity to 6.69 kg, coupled with innovative aerodynamic enhancements for better efficiency.

Hyundai has integrated host of tech like intuitive navigation enhancements and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), ensuring high safety standards. NEXO aims for top-tier safety ratings, featuring multiple airbags and an ultra-rigid structure to protect occupants and the hydrogen tank.

Scheduled for global release later this year, the new NEXO signifies Hyundai's leadership in hydrogen as they continue to innovate and strengthen their offerings within the clean mobility spectrum.
