Cool cars grab spotlight at the New York auto show
Print Edition
WITH more than 1 million visitors annually, the New York International Auto Show is one of the most important shows for the US auto industry. Here are some of the vehicles debuting this year. It opened on Friday.
Honda’s luxury Acura brand calls the new TLX midsize sedan a “red carpet athlete” for its blend of elegance and sportiness. Land Rover confirmed it will bring a new family of vehicles, called Discovery, to market starting in 2015 with a small SUV called the Discovery Sport.
BMW has a new competitor in the red-hot small SUV segment. The X4, dubbed a “sports activity coupe,” sits slightly longer and lower than its sister vehicle, the X3, and has a slanted, coupe-like roof.
New features include a standard power tailgate that lifts if the driver waves a foot under it.
Land Rover confirmed that it will bring a new family of vehicles, called Discovery, to market starting in 2015 with a small SUV called the Discovery Sport.
In the meantime, it’s showing the Discovery concept vehicle, which is full of advanced technology. Drivers can fold down the seats and reconfigure the interior using a touchscreen, for example, or control the car remotely at very low speeds.
Nissan has given the third generation of the Murano midsize crossover SUV a more modern design, nicer interior and better fuel economy than the previous version. The company says the exterior runs counter to the typical “heaviness and chunkiness” of SUVs, with sculpted sides, new lighting and a jet-inspired roof.
The high performance version of the two-door Mercedes S63 coupe burns up the road with a 5.5-liter V8 that gets 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 186 mph.
