Hyundai is expanding its HX Series excavator lineup with a new long-track model, the HX210L, offering increased stability and lifting capacity for heavy construction tasks.
Built on the same platform as the HX230L, the 54,900-pound HX210L features a standard 18,000-pound counterweight, a reinforced upper structure, an upgraded swing bearing, increased swing torque and larger-capacity, heavy-duty buckets.
The new models also incorporate many of the features of Hyundai’s first five HX Series excavators, including productivity enhancements, improved fuel efficiency, increased operator comfort and simplified maintenance. Models previously released at ConExpo 2026 include the HX230, HX260, HX300, HX360 and HX400.
Excavators are the third-highest selling product category in the U.S., behind compact track loaders and mini excavators. More than 15,000 new financed units were sold from June 2025 to May 2026, according to Fusable's EDA data.
Powered by a 186-horsepower Hyundai DX05 engine, the HX210L touts 6% more torque and 7% greater fuel efficiency than its predecessor, while reducing DEF consumption by 30%. It has a maximum dig depth of 21 feet 9 inches and a maximum dig reach of 34 feet 1 inch.
Powered byA large-capacity bucket with an improved cutting edge offers increased productivity compared to the standard bucket size, the company says.
Real-time weighing lets operators estimate the weight of objects or materials to better calculate truck costs and shipping volumes on site. When an overload is detected, a first warning is displayed, followed by a colored notification that informs the operator of the risk of overturning.

Enhanced Operator Environment
Upgraded features inside the cab include a standard wider, heated and cooled seat and a 12.8-inch FHD display that can be divided into sections for customized viewing. DAB functionality enables Bluetooth and digital radio broadcast reception. Optional packages let owners customize the interior with additional comfort features.
Hyundai Product Manager Joe Hodges says the pilot-controlled hydraulic system provides operators with the “traditional feel and performance” of other Hyundai excavators, while offering a “budget-friendly choice” for rental houses and larger fleets. Standard joystick steering also allows operators to drive forward, backward and turn left or right.
Extended Service Intervals
With the next-generation model, Hyundai has extended replacement intervals for engine oil, engine filters and fuel filters from 500 to 1,000 hours when they use CK-4 engine oil, and extended coolant replacement intervals from 2,000 to 6,000 hours.
The filters have been rearranged and the opening area of the filter cover has been expanded to ease maintenance access. A reversible fan function allows for easier cleanout.
Additional Safety Features
A new, optional white-noise alert tone uses a wideband frequency to warn people on the jobsite of the machine’s presence.
Optional Smart Around View Monitoring uses six cameras and AI to automatically detect people passing or working around the machine during operation.
The HX210L comes with five years of Hyundai Connect, which includes location tracking and theft prevention, maintenance notifications and fleet monitoring.
