  • Genesis Essentia, 2018 New York auto show

    Concept cars this year are either fast, green, or coming soon. The Genesis Essentia Concept you see here is fast, and it’s green. Coming soon? We’re not so sure. Let’s get this out of the way right now. It’s highly unlikely that we’ll see this coupe on the streets within the next few years—if ever.

    2019 Mazda CX-3 brings a more refined interior

    Mazda's CX-3 is a solid option for buyers in the compact crossover SUV segment, and that's before you take into account the good looks.

  • 2019 Acura MDX A-Spec, 2018 New York auto show
    2019 Acura MDX A-Spec debuts at 2018 New York auto show

    More aggressive styling appears to be the order of the day. Many automakers are applying an extra dose of pumped-up sporting pretenses. The latest machine to get this treatment? The new 2019 Acura MDX A-Spec, which was unveiled on Wednesday at the 2018 New York auto show and is due in showrooms in...

  • 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio equipped with Nero Edizione package
    Alfa Romeo's Nero Edizione package for Giulia and Stelvio debuts in New York

    There's an easy way to anger up almost any vehicle. You add black. It's simple, but it works. Alfa Romeo understands this, which is why the Italian automaker has turned to a dash of the dark stuff for two of its models. Though Alfa Romeo isn't calling it "black", the dark shade is being welcomed...

  • 2019 Hyundai Tucson
    2019 Hyundai Tucson: sharper, safer, and now without a turbo

    The Hyundai Tucson doesn't part ways with the current compact crossover SUV formula for the 2019 model year, but it gets a little sharper and adds a dash of active safety to sweeten the deal. Hyundai debuted the updated Tucson on Wednesday at the 2018 New York auto show, where the brand's latest...

    Pick two for your concept car this year: Fast, green, or coming soon. The Genesis Essentia Concept that bowed Wednesday at the 2018 New York auto show opted for fast and green, a future look at a distant electric two-door coupe from the nascent luxury automaker. The Essentia’s look takes...

  • 2019 Maserati Levante Trofeo, 2018 New York auto show

    According to Ricky Bobby, it was Eleanor Roosevelt that said "America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed." Italy's Maserati has taken that quote to heart. That's why the automaker decided that the New York International Auto Show is the perfect place to show off its new Levante Trofeo super SUV, which was previously thought to be a Levante GTS. There's no V-6 between these fenders. This Levante Trofeo packs a muscular V-8 that just so happens to be built by Ferrari. Sitting in the nose of this very sporty utility vehicle is a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8. In fact, this engine has...

  • 2019 Kia K900, 2018 New York auto show
    2019 Kia K900 pushes the flagship sedan into more premium territory

    Kia believes it's set a new standard for Korean luxury, and such ethos resides within the 2019 K900, the brand's redesigned flagship sedan. Kia attests everything is new, redesigned, and fresh aside from the car's actual name. At its local debut Wednesday at the 2018 New York auto show, the K900...

  • 2019 Acura RDX, 2018 New York auto show
    2019 Acura RDX adds to brand's SUV momentum

    Acura hasn't had success with its sedans in recent years, but the SUVs have carried the brand. Judging by the looks of the 2019 Acura RDX, that trend will continue. We saw the RDX prototype in January in Detroit, and the production model unveiled at the 2018 New York auto show on Wednesday is...

  • 2019 Cadillac CT6, 2018 New York auto show
    2019 Cadillac CT6 gets twin-turbo V-8 V-Sport, updated look

    When it arrived for 2016, Cadillac’s CT6 ushered in a new naming strategy for the brand and marked the first use of the lightweight, aluminum-infused Omega platform for large, rear-wheel-drive cars at General Motors. While the CT6 was never meant to be the true flagship sedan Cadillac fans...

  • 2019 Nissan Altima, 2018 New York auto show

    There's a new Nissan Altima coming to showrooms this fall as a 2019 model, and it made its debut on Wednesday at the 2018 New York auto show. The car represents the sixth generation for the Altima nameplate and a core pillar of Nissan's sales strategy here in the United States. The 2019 Altima brings a bold look, available all-wheel drive, and Nissan's VC-Turbo variable compression engine that we first saw on the 2019 Infiniti QX50, but it still misses out on hybrid tech that rivals offer. That may change at a later date, however. The standard powertrain is a 2.5-liter inline-4 delivering 188...

  • Classic Mini with electric powertrain
    Classic Mini made electric for New York auto show

    Mini didn't have a new car to present at the 2018 New York auto show. Instead, it had an old one. A very old one.

    Toyota on Wednesday introduced an all-new, fifth-generation RAV4 at the 2018 New York auto show.

  • 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback, 2018 New York auto show
    Baby got back: 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback debuts in New York

    As much as we love Audi Sport's latest RS 5 coupe, the car's two-door body is definitely a limiting factor. Which coupe owner doesn't feel a tinge of pain folding down the front seats whenever friends or family, muddy shoes and all, have to climb into the back? The solution is the new RS 5...

  • Lincoln Aviator SUV, 2018 New York auto show

    More than a decade on since the nameplate bowed out of production, Lincoln's Aviator is finally back. Unveiled Wednesday at the 2018 New York auto show, a new Aviator SUV carries the influences of the Continental and Navigator and takes things further, providing us with a better view of Lincoln's future. That future is one filled with more SUVs and electrified powertrains. The Aviator shown in the Big Apple is said to be a “preview” of the production model due on sale in 2019. In other words, it's likely a lot more representative of the upcoming production model than your typical...

    2019 Jaguar F-Pace SVR coming to New York auto show; who ordered the spicy one?

    Jaguar signed its chit and joined the “blisteringly fast SUV” country club Monday when it unveiled the 2019 Jaguar F-Pace SVR at the 2018 New York International Auto Show. The high-test, high-riding sports SUV makes 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet from its uprated supercharged...

  • 2019 Cadillac XT4, 2018 New York auto show
    2019 Cadillac XT4 crossover SUV looks good, feels like more of the same

    The 2019 Cadillac XT4 has a lot riding on its shoulders. Cursed with a sedan-heavy lineup—there are four sedans to just two utility vehicles—the XT4 is the vehicle that finally opens Cadillac to the luxury market's most lucrative segment, the compact crossover class. The XT4 uses a...
