The Hyundai FCEV was showcased at a special event organized in Seoul, South Korea last year, which was also the first time the South Korean company unveiled its version of a fuel cell concept vehicle and that too an SUV. The company says that the SUV will be hydrogen powered and it will launch the SUV this year. This also showcases the intent of the company to put its focus on green vehicles and chart out a development roadmap along the same lines.

The design of the Hyundai FCEV is rather futuristic. The front end looks rather sharp with scimitar-shaped headlamps, a V-shape grille with a wave-like pattern. The alloys look cool with its shuriken design. The Fuel Cell SUV will use the company's fourth generation of hydrogen fuel cell technology, which was first created in 2013. The company is aiming to provide the Fuel Cell SUV with a range of 800 km on a single charge. The company claims that the SUV will have an output of 161 bhp.
