What’s New for the 2024 Hyundai Nexo
The Nexo was introduced for the 2019 model year and continues with minimal changes for 2024. The Nexo now includes an activated charcoal filter and upgraded HVAC software to improve air quality in the cabin. It also features four Type-C USB ports instead of the previous three USB ports, and the rear hatch is equipped with privacy glass. If you select the Limited trim, the rear side windows now include one-touch operation.
Design
The 2024 Hyundai Nexo has a relatively conventional small SUV layout, with an aerodynamic design and slender LED headlights. The Nexo Blue trim comes standard with 17-inch wheels and the Limited upgrades to 19-inch alloy wheels. The Limited trim also comes with integrated roof rails.
