The first of it's kind!
I got the 1st Nexo in the western hemisphere. It has lived up to all my expectations. It has all the bells and whistles that a tech geek like me would want. I can't wait to see what Hyundai and Genesis have to offer when I return my 2019 lease. When I want I can easily exceed the EPA mileage range. I drove to Phoenix, Prescott, back to Phoenix and back to Ventura County in April 2019. I filled up at the Nikola hydrogen station twice in Phoenix (by invitation, it's not open to the public). I can't wait until Las Vegas and Phoenix have public stations. My complaints would be very very minor considering I leased a BRAND NEW model. Most people tell you to wait for the 2nd model year. I love my Nexo. Great Job Hyundai.

25 miles to the closest station. It's along the route I normally drive into LA so it's not a major complaint. I'll have a local station in 2-3 years.

Lacks Spunk and Real Leather Seats
The fuel cell is cool, as long as you can find hydrogen. But is ultimately an EV, but lacks the spunk I was accustomed to with my last EV. The console limits legroom right where lots of men need it in the knee area - unbelievable oversight in the design.
Recommended
Pros
It runs on hydrogen, so when the hydrogen production is good for the hydrogen environment then it will be as well.

Cons
Hydrogen availability- even in the Bay Area isn’t adequate unless there’s a global pandemic.
Lacks the spunk of typical EVs - perhaps due to the motor/battery/weight ratio.

The best electric vehicle you can buy that's not a Tesla
You want to drive a zero emission car, but plugging in every night is a pain or you're worried about long journeys or you have no place to plug in; then a hydrogen electric car is the best choice. The Nexo has all the benefits of an electric car, very very low operating costs, no maintenance to speak of, great acceleration and torque so it feels quite zippy to drive. Of the available Fuel-Cell Electric Cars available the Nexo is easily the nicest, most polished and has the biggest trunk space. It is a no compromise no hassle car that's fun to drive and has zero emissions.
Recommended
Pros
No compromise zero emission electric
No need to charge, just fill up at a gas station
Fun to drive, looks good
Great for comuting

Jim's Nexo Review
We've owned the NEXO for just over a year now. The car is great, there is really nothing to complain about it. The only complaint is the lack of available fueling stations and closed stations when you need them most. If you are unwilling to be flexible about when and when you can drive this car, then this car is not for you.

Best SUV ever!

Nexo rocks
I love this car, after a year and 10,500 miles. Still getting over 370 miles on a fill. Comfortable, quiet ride. Lots of great features and easy to use. It is a very spacious vehicle and has been trouble free.

Awesome! Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles rule!
Totally love this car! It is quiet, fast, (never mind the 8.2 second 0-60 number, it feels much fast than that!), roomy, and emission-free! It is an ergonomic master piece!... It has real buttons, knobs and a rotary dial in addition to a pinch and zoom touch screen, instead of just an idiotic zero button touch screen. Did Elon ever try to adjust anything using the touch screen while focusing on the road ahead at freeway speed? Also love the fact that the tire rubber stick out beyond the tire rims, so after owning it for 3 months now, I have yet to curb the wheels and probably never will. It also has all the latest and greatest auto steering and stopping features plus it can auto park with the push of a button whether you are in the car or not, and can be linked to your smart phone to do remote start, stop, lock, unlock, etc. But the best thing is that these cars (and the other hydrogen fuel cell cars by Honda and Toyota) are FREE!!! It is free to lease for 3 years but it is not adequately advertised on their website. Do the math yourself and you will realize that it is totally free to lease a hydrogen fuel cell electric car, regardless of which brand, for 3 years! Why would anyone not lease one of these is beyond me! Totally love this car!

Pros
See my review! Also, did I say it is FREE to lease for three years?

Cons
Wind noise, probably coming from the roof rails. The roof rails should be a delete option. I would have preferred a leather interior with power side and rear sun shades and HVAC setting adjustments for the back seats. I would gladly pay more for those features.

I love this car!
I live in the Bay Area and there was a hydrogen shortage for a period of time which is a reflection on the infrastructure not the car. Currently there are 2 new stations operating in SF. I also experienced filling up not completely but I noticed those issues with TrueZero stations not Shell or Iwantani, I would get 99% at those stations. I feel great driving this car regarding my impact to the environment, it’s comfortable, drivers well, safety, easy connections with devices, camera views, and has 99.9% of what I need. Wish list would be auto up/down for all windows, side mirror tilt when put in reveres, and heated back seats not just for Canada. :). I’ve had zero issues with this car since purchasing it 09/19.

Vehicle is awesome.... NEVER BUY IT
Love the Vehicle. The hydrogen fueling has been a nightmare. Tank only fills to 6/10 (250mile range vs the 360range advertised), and the only station near me has been offline for weeks and indefinitely. I have to travel >35 miles each way to refuel (and even then only a partial tank). Driving vehicle only when absolutely necessary.

Nexo - bringing two together
Just leased a 2020 Nexo limited and have less than 2000 miles. My radio presets stations and then for some reason deletes all of them within a four day period. Anyone have a solution or fix for this? Excellent overall comfort. Hyundai or California engineers missed a couple of standard features - memory seat buttons and poor location of the cup holder. Ergonomically - your right arm rests on the arm rest and hand will rest where the cup holder is located. When you have a cup in the cup holder you find it difficult to reach and adjust the selection knob. I’m finding it more practical to place the cup in the phone holder and not use the cup holder. My wife and I share vehicles - hers is a Mirai. Mirai has memory seats which help save time and adds to the comfort of the ride. Nexo and Mirai handle and drive about the same - very docile and comfortable. Mirai has a power button for immediate speed and greater torque. Nexo has normal, eco and eco plus. Both are very quite - like a library. We really like the greater range of the Nexo - so far about 348-358 miles per 98% fill. Nexo has a lot of room for five. Mirai has a lot of room for four. Working with the Hyundai app and trying to get it to show me fuel stations that in service not just where they are located. Value for the money is excellent as long as there is the fuel card and CA rebate program. More to follow...
