This yr marks the one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary of the New York Worldwide Auto Present (NYIAS), and regardless of considerations over tariffs, there are nonetheless plenty 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 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 outside life-style.

The 2026 Kia EV4

Kia has been on a roll with regards to EVs due to present automobiles just like the EV6 and EV9. On the 2025 NYIAS, the corporate is trying to hold that momentum rolling with the US debut of the EV4, which includes lots of the headline options from its earlier battery-powered choices, however with an much more inexpensive 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 coloration scheme even continues contained in the automobile with unique all-black upholstery. And when you think about that this stays one of the crucial inexpensive three-row electrical automobiles, I feel it is a fairly good option 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 well one of the crucial putting automobiles on the 2025 New York Auto Present. It options an especially lengthy hood and LED mild 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 can have if the X Gran Equator reaches official manufacturing, the dearth of a definite grille up entrance means there’s hope it will likely be an EV.

Lucid Gravity

Whereas the Gravity was officially announced late final yr, it is largely solely been accessible for buy by family and friends of the corporate up till now, which has made it a comparatively uncommon website 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 prime vary of as much as 450 miles. Plus, thanks its skill 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 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 type of factor that makes me want drive-in film theaters weren’t so exhausting 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 yr, 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 is likely to be probably the most spectacular factor concerning the automotive is that regardless of some apparent adjustments 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

Despite the fact that we right here at Engadget choose EVs, we would be remiss to not point out no less than one gas-powered automotive on the New York Auto Present. Introduced again in February, the Maserati GT2 Stradale is principally a road-legal model of the GT2 race automotive, which itself relies on the really outrageous MC20 supercar. And as you’d count on, 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 encompasses a carbon monocoque design identical to its track-focused sibling and if you would like, you possibly can order one with semi-slick racing tires. So in the event you’ve ever had desires of driving a race automotive on the road, this is likely to be your trip. That mentioned, Maserati hasn’t introduced official pricing for the GT2 Stradale. However because the saying goes, if you need to ask, you most likely cannot afford it.

1924 Chrysler 6 prototype

Lastly, capping off this listing is the Chrysler 6 prototype which made its debut approach 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 business’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 yr, the Chrysler 6 value $1,565. After factoring for inflation, that interprets to a sticker value round $29,000, which really would not appear too unhealthy.
