Hongde "NEXO", FCEV with convenience and novel interiors like SUV

■ 820km rising modern vehicles (HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY) have returned to Japan in WLTC mode. The pronunciation will be Hyundai's pronunciation in his home country (the name of the Japanese corporation is Hyundai Mobility JAPAN), and the cars will be sold only with ZEV, and will re -enter Japan with a bold strategy of selling online. He will also be actively entering the car sharing. [See another image about this article] Modern vehicles are at the core of a huge group with 54 companies, and are the world's best car manufacturers that sell more than 7 million units in 2020 in 2020. Since May, Japan will be introduced in Japan: "NEXO" of FCEV (fuel cell vehicle) and "Ioniq 5" of BEV (battery EV). Nedo's design icon is a reversone, imagining a stone polished by the river flow. Although it is a SUV type, it looks like a roof floating by blacking out the base of each pillar, making it a light image. Aerodynamically achieves 0.32 CD values ​​due to air curtains that rectify the air from the front bumper to the wheel house, tunnels that pass the side glass from the D pillar to the rear end, and the door handle embedded on the body surface during driving. ing. Nesso has only one grade development. The color of the test ride is a dark blue called "Ocean Indigo Pearl", and it is easy to understand the sporty modeling like Hyunde with low roof height. You can follow the features of the Hyundai era with large grills and tail lamps, but the design of the body with a 2790mm wheelbase is beautiful, but it pursues the convenience of a middle size SUV and is easy to use. The body size is 4670 x 1860 x 1640mm (total length x width x total height) and belongs to middle class SUVs. In addition, the interior material is actively adopted natural materials such as soybeans, bamboo, and sugarcane, and 12 kg of CO2 is reduced by transforming the material each time one Nesso is produced. This is 11 % of about 34kg plastic materials. The hydrogen tank has a total of 156.6L capacity, and has a 820 km cruising range in WLTC mode. The hydrogen tank is the same size of the cylindrical -shaped shape, one behind the rear axis, and two in front are placed horizontally. The lithium -ion battery, which accumulates electricity generated by the fuel stack, is mounted on it, the capacity is 6.5Ah and the output is 40 kW. The 95kW fuel stack and the 120kW/395nm drive motor are mounted on the front end and drive the front wheels. The weight is 1870 kg. The interior is also novel. A 10.25 -inch digital meter and a 12.3 -inch wide multimedia screen are noticeable, but the large bridge type center console is also surprising. There are switches such as air conditioners, audio, and drive selectors. There is a space under the bridge where you can put a smartphone, etc., but the small ingenuity, such as the cord for the smartphone, is detailed. It cannot be placed in bulky things, but there is a space with two good lids to store small items at the back of the center console. The floor height is high to place a hydrogen tank under the floor, but the getting on and off is not bad, so you can board the cabin without discomfort. It is comfortable that the visibility is wide just before in the high -i -pointing driving position. ■ Riding comfort is surprisingly loud, but there is no discomfort when the fuel stack starts when the hard system is started. It's a bit exciting with the feeling of moving the new power train. There is no shift lever, and it is performed with a push button on the bridge console. The tires of the test ride are Hancock's "VENTUS S1 EVO2 SUV" and the size is 245/45R19 98W. The room is comfortable with the degree of perfection with excess and shortage, but the ride is hard and pushed up. Especially the thrust from the rear is strong. In the rear seat, there is also a fine vibration when passing through a rough road surface. On the other hand, the upper and lower movements in the front seat are absorbed by the seat cushion, and there is no strong shock even with large irregularities. Road noise is large. Especially the sound coming from the rear is a little loud. In a quiet BEV, you can hear the sound you don't usually bother, but Nedo is an example. In handling, the center of gravity has a low center of gravity and the stability is high after entering the turning posture. There are places where the steering wheel, responsiveness, and turnover situations have been fluffy, but it is not the essential part of Nedo's value. The seamless acceleration from suburban roads that pass through the city to the highway is attractive, and the speed and deceleration in places with a lot of traffic are pleasant. You can select the strength of the regenerative brake in the paddle shift, not only can the moderate deceleration, but also a so -called one -pedal mode. The overtaking acceleration on the highway can ride without hesitation, and the feeling of growing with a lot is comfortable. The latest ADAS equipment is also available, and the most useful all -vehicle speed ACC can be used to stop the vehicle, and it has a function that can follow and start when the preceding car is transmitted. It also has a lane keep function that keeps the center of the lane. On the other hand, the tracking on the curve is not forcibly bending, but is dedicated to the driver's support. Personally, I am grateful for this kind of support. Also, if you change the lane with a blinker, the right side of the meter will be switched to the back video by the camera if it is a right blinker. It is fine to be projected on the left meter if it is a left blinker, and it can be confirmed by confirming the track from the back, contributing to a high level. Nedo's appeal is not only fuel cells. The layout is a SUV type, and even if you use the rear seats, it has a large 461L luggage room, and the richness of your ideas, such as a novel interior that uses a large display, can be known to Hyunde's current ability. Only Hyunde and Toyota Motor Corporation were released in the world in the world, and Honda Motor Kogyo is the most successful model. The fuel cell vehicle is one of the few, and it is hard to say that the awareness is expanding. The price is 7,768,300 yen (excluding subsidies), which is still a hydrogen, but it is nice that the number of models increases and the number of entry manufacturers increases not only gasoline but also various fuel options. It is interesting that Hyunde introduced fuel cell vehicles in Japan.
