"Subaru Loves Pets" returns at 3:00 p.m.

Subaru Loves Pets returns with NYC Second Chance Animal Rescue for another adoption event at 3:00 p.m. at the company's booth on level 3. 

Byron Hurd

Things to do: EV Test Track

If you only tour the exhibitor booths on level 3, you've missed nearly half of the NY Auto Show. Make sure you head down to level 1 where you can test out several EVs from different automakers.

Things to do: Subaru Rally Car Sim

Don't forget to check out Subaru's rally car simulator near the rear of their booth on level 3. 

Byron Hurd

Things to do: Volkswagen RC Cars

If you visit the VW booth (level 3), you’ll have the opportunity to drive some RC cars in first-person with simulator-style seats. The track itself is in the Javits Center’s Crystal Palace if you want to see them race in the flesh (metal? plastic?).

You may have missed some of these details. Let's take a closer look.

Check out the Genesis Magma EVs on video from the NY Auto Show

Anyone want to try the Ford Bronco Off-Roadeo Adventure in NY?

The headrest speakers on the QX80 are kinda weird, but also kinda neat

Joel Stocksdale

We look forward to finding out how well they perform.

Also at the NY Auto Show: Whatever this is supposed to be

Well, to be fair, we know it's a Dodge Charger. A better question is... why?

You can test drive EVs from multiple automakers at the NY Auto Show

You’ll find the EV test track on the ground floor of Javits next to all the wild tuner machines. You can test drive EVs from multiple automakers down here. — Byron Hurd

Nissan tells us in NY that it's considering an Xterra revival

The market seems right, the use of an existing platform would keep costs down and feasibility up, and it seems like Nissan higher-ups are interested. So we think a new Xterra could have a good shot at reality. If nothing else, it seems like a great idea to us.

Here's a pic from the reveal way back in 2002.

Better pics of the Kia K4 hatchback announced at the NY Auto Show

Managed to unearth some more photos of the Kia K4 5-Door hatchback and also learned that we're looking at the GT-Line trim here. Assuming it's offered with the same 1.6L-turbo-four and 8-speed auto as the sedan's turbo GT-Line, this is going to be one sweet hatch. — Zachary Palmer

Subaru remembered to bring cars to the auto show in addition to dogs!

Subaru, as we've already shown you, has dogs at its booth like it usually does. But it hasn’t forgotten about car people. Pastrana’s Family Huckster is here and there’s even a rally car racing simulator. — Byron Hurd

Polestar

“Debuting Polestar 4 to the North American market on a stage such as the New York International Auto Show is a significant milestone for our brand,” said Gregor Hembrough, Head of Polestar North America.

Kia K4 hatchback gets surprise reveal at NY Auto Show

Surprise! “I’m excited to give you a look at what’s coming next, a five-door hatch version,” Kia head of global design, Karim Habib said in New York. Past that, well, we don't know much about the 2025 Kia K4 hatchback.

Just as soon as we have more details, we'll share them with you right here. Stay tuned!

Here's the interior of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson

The biggest changes to the 2025 Hyundai Tucson are on the inside. It features a new dash with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a new (OTA-capable) 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Hyundai’s latest software. All trims feature wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. 

Hyundai

Higher trims will also get a new column-mounted gear selector we’ve seen implemented in other Hyundai products for more center console space. A new wireless phone charger is said to offer improved performance, and the USB-C ports offer faster charging speeds.  

A larger 12-inch color HUD will be available, and a new biometric authenticator can be used to start the car up without a key fob. Hyundai’s Digital Key 2 tech is also present, which allows for locking, unlocking and engine start via your phone’s presence – it also allows you to easily share temporary access to the car from one phone to another.

Here's the 2025 Nissan Kicks at the NY Auto Show

The new 2025 Nissan Kicks got its virtual reveal a little bit ago, but this is the first time it'll be seen live at an Auto Show. So we snapped some pics for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

As a reminder, the new Kicks gets more interior room, more horsepower and most critically, all-wheel drive.

Live from New York, it's (not Saturday night...) the Kia K4!

I really like the Kia K4. It looks upscale and sporty compared to the Forte. Design can make a difference, and electrics like the EV9 SUV and EV6 crossover cut through cluttered segments with attractive styling. Kia continues that with the K4. It’s ice-powered, but it continues the brand’s design mojo generated by its recent EVs. Those flared fenders in the back give it an old-school muscle car vibe, while the T-shaped headlights in front point to the future. Well done. — Greg Migliore

2025 Infiniti QX80 makes its auto show debut in New York

We've already seen the new 2025 Infiniti QX80, but it's making its auto show debut in New York. Prospective buyers will be able to get an in-person look at the first Infiniti to cross the six-figure threshold.

Here are live pics directly from the show floor.

Here's more of the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz

I’ve always liked the Hyundai Santa Cruz. It’s a bit of a sleeper in the small truck segment. Like the Tucson, it’s refreshed for ‘24 with an updated interior — with knobs and buttons — and a new grille. The headliner is the XRT model with 18-inch wheels, a different grille and red tow hooks. Yes, the wheels are supposed to look like wrenches. I just drove the Ford Maverick Tremor a couple of weeks ago that came in around $40 grand with options. It will be interesting to see where the Santa Cruz XRT lands. — Greg Migliore

And guess what? Kia said there's a hatchback coming in addition to the sedan. So stay tuned for more on that as soon as we get it.

2025 Kia K4 unveiled at NY Auto Show (again)

Right on schedule, Kia has released more details about the new K4 that is replacing the old Forte sedan.

Kia

The exterior is striking — we'll stop short of saying polarizing, though certainly your mileage will vary — but the interior really stands out.

2025 Hyundai Tucson refreshed at NY Auto Show

Here's the sharply chiseled exterior of the newly refreshed 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The covers were just pulled off the vehicle live in New York.

Hyundai

The updated Tucson gets a new grille, fresh bumpers and a new daytime running light look with larger lighting areas than before. 

Hyundai’s powertrain options are largely carryover, though the Hybrid gets a slight boost with a more powerful electric motor, giving it a total system output of 231 horses and 258 pound-feet of torque. The base engine is still the 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, while the most powerful version continues to be the PHEV with 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. 

A new “Baby Mode” joins the various drive modes for 2025, too, and Hyundai says it “helps reduce the sharpness of initial acceleration, smoothing out driver inputs for a gentler acceleration feeling for passengers.”

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz revealed at NY Auto Show

This here is the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz and it was just revealed alongside the also-refreshed Tucson at the New York Auto Show.

Hyundai

The big XRT upgrade is the addition of 245/60R all-terrain tires wrapping trim-specific 18-inch “wrench-inspired” wheels. An XRT-exclusive front bumper improves the approach angle, and Hyundai also adds front tow hooks for off-road recovery. 

Both of the Santa Cruz’s powertrains carry over unchanged for 2025, but the 2.5-turbo upgrade adds a tow mode to its drive mode selection for both the Limited and XRT trims – maximum capacity is still 5,000 pounds for the Turbo.

We have arrived

Here we are at the entrance. Buckle up, we're going in.

On our way to the NY Auto Show!

Good morning, automotive enthusiasts! Our team of News Editor Joel Stocksdale and Associate Editor Byron Hurd are on their way to the show floor at the Javits in New York as I type this. We'll bring you all the latest car and truck news live from the 2024 NY Auto Show right here in our live blog.

Stay tuned, it all starts soon!

Weighty topics are hanging over the car biz

On the eve of the New York Auto Show, a number of weighty topics are hanging over the car biz. First and foremost, the nation’s busiest port of entry for new vehicles — Baltimore — is recovering after a 984-foot Singapore flagged container vessel called Dali rammed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the structure. Multiple people were still missing as of Tuesday afternoon.

Before the nation awoke to the startling news this morning, the car world has been buzzing over the future of EVs, with questions of price, infrastructure and politics coloring the discussion. EVs are hovering around 8 percent of the market, but the next stage of growth remains uncertain. As the press takes to the floor of Javits this week, AI will also take center stage as automakers ponder its uses and potential implications. — Editor-in-chief Greg Migliore

Genesis GV80 Magma... apparently not coming to the U.S.

The Genesis GV60 Magma isn't the only hot new car on the way. The GV80 Magma gets a similar treatment with a wide body kit, larger grilles and even some extra hood vents. 

Joel Stocksdale / Autoblog

The whole car is lowered with very tight wheel arch gaps, and it has the same brightly painted seats. Sadly, it's an extremely limited-run vehicle. Genesis didn't say how many it would produce, but they'll only be available to Middle Eastern markets.

Genesis GV60 Magma at the NY Auto Show

Liquid hot magma? Well, not really. But it's still pretty hot, and it's definitely orange like lava. Genesis used the 2024 NY Auto Show to reveal its new Magna performance line, starting with the electric GV60. It will be the first of the Magma cars to launch globally, and not as a limited-run vehicle. 

Joel Stocksdale / Autoblog

Yes, it is coated in a vivid orange paint that continues to the painted seat backs and double-diamond contrast stitching, but there's more to it than that. The GV60 Magna gets wider fender flares, larger grilles and vents for battery and powertrain cooling, and canards, fins and a rear wing for improved downforce and stability. Even the wheels have claimed aerodynamic benefit, with the covers diverting air to cool the brakes.

We expect a lot of horsepower sent to all four wheels and a sport-tuned suspension.

Genesis Neolun Concept debuts ahead of NY Auto Show debut

This here is the Genesis Neolun Concept. It's a large, flagship luxury SUV, as you can see. But more than that, the Neolun previews a production model and offers hints at where Genesis design is headed.

Genesis

There are some cool details here. The Neolun features rear coach doors, similar to those on the Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition, and Genesis notes that this might be a feature that actually makes it to production. The interior may be the coolest part, though, with purple cashmere and leather, seats that swivel to face rearward, and an enormous flexible screen that rolls and unrolls as needed.

Kia K4 will replace the Forte sedan

One exciting new vehicle that we saw make an early debut at the NY Auto Show is the Kia K4. This small car will replace the Kia Forte, and it'll do so with a newfound sense of style. 

There's still a lot we don't know about the new Kia K4, so stay tuned. We'll share all the details as soon as we get them.

Oh, and get a load of that green and highly asymmetrical interior!
