The SUV you see above is Hyundai"s as-yet unnamed hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. Why no name? We find that out at the Consumer Electronics Show next week. Bet you can"t wait.It"s "near-production" ready, mind, and in case we"ve not already made it clear, Hyundai"s made it look like a regular car. The styling follows the company"s FE concept which we saw at Geneva last year.As it stands, the fuel cell SUV will manage almost 500 miles on a single tank, or charge, or whatever nomenclature we"ll use if this becomes commonly used technology. It will have 160bhp on tap, which is a performance boost of 20 per cent compared to its predecessor, the iX35 Fuel Cell.Hyundai"s made sure that it"ll work in -30 C weather, too, and fitted things that"ll help bring down overall production costs. It"s as if they brainstormed all the usual objections to fuel cell tech and then went about solving them. If this sounds like praise, that"s because it is we"re all for someone being clever enough to come up with new ideas and brave enough to see them through.
