The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker

First up on the docket is Subaru, which is right here at this time with an early have a look at its second-ever EV: the Trailseeker. Now I admit that the followup to the Solterra may not be probably 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 would not have probably 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 way of life.

The 2026 Kia EV4

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 coloration 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 believe 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 hanging automobiles on the 2025 New York Auto Present. It options a particularly lengthy hood and LED gentle strips that wrap all the way in which round to the aspect 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 function 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 shortage of a definite grille up entrance means there’s hope it will likely be an EV.

Lucid Gravity

Plus, thanks its potential so as to add 200 miles of vary in lower than 11 minutes, it just about upends the idea that EVs aren’t good for longer highway journeys. And whereas it is a area of interest characteristic, Lucid even created a particular cushion that goes in its frunk that immediately converts it into a comfortable little love seat. It is the sort of factor that makes me want drive-in film theaters weren’t so arduous to seek out these days.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA spec

The TA within the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA spec’s title stands for time assault. And final 12 months, it did simply that when it set the document at Pike’s Peak for the electrical modified SUV/crossover class with a time of 9 minutes and 32 seconds.

So as a substitute of swapping in some one-off motors, this automobile has the identical fundamental setup as the usual mannequin (601 hp) with a small enhance in output of simply 37 horsepower.

Maserati GT2 Stradale

Although we right here at Engadget desire EVs, we would be remiss to not point out at the very least one gas-powered automobile on the New York Auto Present. Introduced again in February, the Maserati GT2 Stradale is mainly a road-legal model of the GT2 race automobile, which itself is predicated on the actually 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.

However because the saying goes, if it’s a must to ask, you in all probability cannot afford it.

Lastly, capping off this record is the Chrysler 6 prototype which made its debut method again on the 1924 New York Auto Present. Granted, this factor is historic, 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.
