现代正在开发第二代途胜燃料电池车，新车续航里程有望大幅提升。现行版265英里（约合426公里）续航里程低于竞争车型。其中丰田Mirai续航里程为312公里（约合502公里），而即将发布的本田Clarity FCV更是达到了366英里（约合589公里）。新一代途胜氢燃料电池车预计将基于第三代2015款途胜，续航里程将提升30%至350英里（约合563公里）。现行版途胜燃料电池车在加州经营惨淡，截止2015年中期，只有70个客户租赁了这款车，平均行驶里程只有6800英里（约合10943公里）。这款车似乎只是很多消费者的第二辆车。另相对于雪佛兰Bolt和即将上市的特斯拉3，外，燃料电池车的成本仍太高。第二代途胜燃料电池车的售价将超过5万美元。

 

Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell expected to catch up with Honda Clarity's range

Hyundai is reportedly developing a second-generation Tucson Fuel Cell with a significant range boost.

 

The crossover was among the first hydrogen-powered vehicles to arrive in the US market, but its 265-mile range falls short of current rivals. Toyota's Mirai delivers 312 miles, while the forthcoming Honda Clarity FCV boasts a leading 366-mile EPA range estimate.

 

Presumably upon the third-generation Tucson platform introduced for the 2015 model year, the revamped FCV is expected to bring a 30 percent increase in range. If true, US buyers could expect around 350 miles on a single tank of hydrogen.

 

The current Tucson FCV experienced a slow start in its first year on the market in California, with just 70 customers signing leases by the middle of 2015. With average odometer readings of just 6,800 miles at the time, the crossover appeared to be serving only as a secondary vehicle for most owners.

 

Cost also remains an issue for fuel-cell technology, which remains expensive compared to the latest long-rang EVs such as the Chevrolet Bolt and upcoming Tesla Model 3. The second-generation Tucson Fuel Cell is expected to cost the equivalent of more than $50,000.
