Acura. Bugatti. Cadillac. Ford. Honda. Lamborghini. Toyota.
Those are just some of the names represented at this year's New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), held in Manhattan, New York City. The show, which was more than four floors, was filled with all the latest new cars and trucks, from classics to debuts. There were over 1,000 vehicles, some of which have never been seen anywhere in the world. Not only were cars on display, but there were fun, interactive activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Some of the vehicles that were featured included:
Mazda 3 - This small car is available as a five-door hatchback or a four-door sedan. It has a sportier look and the interior includes comfortable seats that have been redesigned and a thin steering wheel.
J
aguar XE - This luxury car has been newly refreshed and is available in a rear-wheel drive option or all-wheel drive. Despite being a four-door model, the sporty design isn't compromised. It offers Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto options.
Subaru Outback - These SUVs are still made with four-cylinder engines and you can get one with a turbocharger. The Outback includes the ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) in its new cars including adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. It includes a driver monitoring system, which uses infrared cameras and gaze tracking to detect if the person behind the wheel is distracted or drowsy.
Audi Q3 - New York was the US debut for Audi's new Q3. It is a big upgrade from the old model, includes wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, a roomy cabin, and rear sliding and reclining seats.
Porsche Speedster - Last year was Porsche's 70th birthday and they created a new Speedster. This sports car includes a windscreen and side panels cut lower than normal. It is a little bit lighter than other sports cars and offers better performance. It is only available in a six-speed manual and only suitable for driving in good weather.
Rivian R1T - This truck is not actually on the market as it is a startup vehicle. It is an electric truck with a power tailgate and a secondary panel that flattens to cover the gap if you need a longer bed. Instead of the engine taking up the front, there is a "frunk" for cargo that won't get wet. There is also more cargo space behind the cab as well as a gear tunnel that can be used as seats or steps.
