This 12 months marks the one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary of the New York Worldwide Auto Present (NYIAS), and regardless of issues over tariffs, there are nonetheless quite a lot of producers right here displaying off new fashions together with a handful of US and international debuts. So with out additional ado, listed below are among the coolest automobiles on show on the 2025 NYIAS.
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker
First up on the docket is Subaru, which is right here at present with an early have a look at its second-ever EV: the Trailseeker. Now I admit that the followup to the Solterra won’t be essentially the most thrilling announcement, as this mannequin will as soon as once more be based mostly the e-TNGA platform, which is shared with Toyota's bZ4x. That mentioned, whereas the Trailseeker doesn't have essentially the most spectacular vary (round 260 miles), its up to date styling, bigger physique and improved off-roading capabilities really feel extra suited to an out of doors life-style.
The 2026 Kia EV4
Kia has been on a roll on the subject of EVs because of current automobiles just like the EV6 and EV9. On the 2025 NYIAS, the corporate is seeking to maintain that momentum rolling with the US debut of the EV4, which contains most of the headline options from its earlier battery-powered choices, however with an much more reasonably priced anticipated beginning value of between $35,000 and $40,000. It additionally options Kia's improved i-PEDAL 3.0 regenerative braking tech which now works even in reverse.
Kia EV9 Dusk version
Talking of the EV9, whereas there aren't a ton of updates for 2025, Kia did roll out a brand new Dusk version for its flagship electrical SUV. It options blacked-out accents all through the automobile together with darkish wheels, trim and badging. That shade scheme even continues contained in the automobile with unique all-black upholstery. And when you think about that this stays one of the reasonably priced three-row electrical automobiles, I feel it is a fairly good strategy to clean up the look of the EV9.
Genesis X Gran Equator idea
Billed as a luxurious overlander, the Genesis X Gran Equator idea is definitely one of the placing automobiles on the 2025 New York Auto Present. It options an especially lengthy hood and LED gentle strips that wrap all the best way round to the facet of the automobile together with matching tail lights in again. Inside, whereas it has fancy diamond-stitched upholstery, there are additionally devoted holders for resuable waterbottles, which trace at its position as a possible tenting automobile. And whereas Genesis has not mentioned what sort of powertrain it’ll have if the X Gran Equator reaches official manufacturing, the dearth of a definite grille up entrance means there's hope will probably be an EV.
Lucid Gravity
Whereas the Gravity was officially announced late final 12 months, it's largely solely been obtainable for buy by family and friends of the corporate up till now, which has made it a comparatively uncommon web site each at commerce exhibits and on the street. However the at NYIAS, it was on show in all of its three-row electrical glory. Not solely is the Gravity the quickest charging EV exterior of China able to sucking down as much as 400 kW, it additionally boasts a high vary of as much as 450 miles. Plus, thanks its potential so as to add 200 miles of vary in lower than 11 minutes, it just about upends the assumption that EVs aren't good for longer street journeys. And whereas it's a distinct segment characteristic, Lucid even created a particular cushion that goes in its frunk that immediately converts it into a comfy little love seat. It's the form of factor that makes me want drive-in film theaters weren't so onerous to seek out these days.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA spec
The TA within the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA spec's identify stands for time assault. And final 12 months, it did simply that when it set the file at Pike's Peak for the electrical modified SUV/crossover class with a time of 9 minutes and 32 seconds. However what may be essentially the most spectacular factor concerning the automotive is that regardless of some apparent modifications to its physique (simply have a look at the scale of that rear wing), Hyundai says the TA was additionally constructed to showcase the power of the regualar Ioniq 5 N's energy electrical system. So as a substitute of swapping in some one-off motors, this automotive has the identical primary setup as the usual mannequin (601 hp) with a small increase in output of simply 37 horsepower.
Maserati GT2 Stradale
Though we right here at Engadget choose EVs, we'd be remiss to not point out a minimum of one gas-powered automotive on the New York Auto Present. Introduced again in February, the Maserati GT2 Stradale is mainly a road-legal model of the GT2 race automotive, which itself relies on the really outrageous MC20 supercar. And as you'd anticipate, it has some fairly spectacular specs with a blistering 0-60 time of two.8 seconds regardless of it solely having rear-wheel drive. It additionally incorporates a carbon monocoque design similar to its track-focused sibling and if you would like, you possibly can order one with semi-slick racing tires. So in case you've ever had goals of driving a race automotive on the road, this may be your experience. That mentioned, Maserati hasn't introduced official pricing for the GT2 Stradale. However because the saying goes, if you must ask, you in all probability can't afford it.
1924 Chrysler 6 prototype
Lastly, capping off this record is the Chrysler 6 prototype which made its debut means again on the 1924 New York Auto Present. Granted, this factor is historical, however on the time it was state-of-the-art boasting the trade's first four-wheel hydraulic brakes together with a six-cylinder engine that produced a whopping 68 horsepower. When it will definitely hit the market later that 12 months, the Chrysler 6 price $1,565. After factoring for inflation, that interprets to a sticker value round $29,000, which truly doesn't appear too unhealthy.
