The city that never sleeps. This is what many people say about New York and it really is, a constant bustling rhythm, numerous congestion and noisy streets. Fifth Avenue, the George Washington Bridge and other places, it will immediately remind you where you are. But more than that, New York is known all over the world for its automobile exhibition. Indeed, this is a mega huge complex, where different manufacturers show their new products, concepts and models that they literally buy from the exhibition.
The 2017 New York Auto Show will run from April 14 to April 23. There is already reliable information that eight of the most modern car models will be presented at this exhibition. Three models of North America, four from the Middle Kingdom and a charged SUV from Germany for a snack. Now let's look at each model in detail.
Charged Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 2018
The first position in the list of auto shows in New York is opened by a charged Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 2018. This is truly the king of American muscle cars. The engineers knowingly gave him the Demon prefix, the car really has serious technical characteristics. The engine of the novelty is capable of driving both on gas and on 100th high-octane gasoline. The new Challenger SRT Demon is lighter than the Hellcat. The variant presented at the New York Auto Show will be fitted with 315/40 Nitto NT05R tires and branded 18 ″ alloy wheels.
As for the engine of the new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, it is now truly charged. The basic equipment will get a bloated V8 with a volume of 6.2 liters and 757 horsepower. By adding various optional bonuses to the engine, the buyer will thus be able to add several hundred horsepower above the base configuration.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 2018
The second place in the list of the auto show in New York was taken by the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 2018. The new extended base, at first glance, would seem to be non-rotating. But a charged HEMI engine taken from the Challenger SRT Hellcat puts things in another direction. The charged Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 2018 got an atmospheric V8 with a volume of 6.4 liters.
Since this is an SUV, the AWD system is installed, which does a good job. The maximum power of such an SUV is 707 hp. with a maximum torque of 882 Nm. Indeed, at the auto show in New York, the presented new Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 2018 is fully charged. Its engine is several times more powerful, even when compared to the 6-liter W12 from the Bentley Bentayga.
2018 Honda Clarity EV and Clarity PHEV in New York
The third place in New York was taken by the hydrogen Honda Clarity 2018. This is not another advertisement from Honda, but an attempt to market its hydrogen cars. Zero emission of harmful substances and a distance of 589 kilometers at one gas station are indicators of the novelty. Even the top-end equipment of the well-known Tesla Model S 100D cannot show such results. But at the same time, Honda ranks second among hydrogen cars and electric cars presented in New York.
At the 2017 New York Auto Show, Honda representatives are planning to take first place among Japanese cars. As you already know, the basic configuration of the Honda Clarity will cost from $ 35,000. But this is for the support of the state and the authorities of the States of America, in other countries the starting price may differ. The electric version of the Honda Clarity Electric will be able to travel about 129 kilometers on a single charge. The price for such an electric car has not yet been announced.
The hybrid version of the Honda Clarity PHEV will be able to travel at least 65 kilometers before the engine starts on fuel. It is worth considering that the hybrid version of the 2017 Honda Clarity PHEV will be one of the most expensive in the basic configuration, it will also be presented at the auto show in New York.
2017 Honda Civic Si Coupe and Civic Si Sedan
The fourth place at the auto show in New York was taken simultaneously by the sedan and coupe Honda Civic Si 2017. The novelty acquired a turbocharged four with a volume of 1.5 liters instead of a naturally-aspirated VTEC engine with a volume of 2.4 liters, which was installed on the previous generation. But do not expect an increase in power, as before, the power of the new Honda Civic Si is 205 hp. You won't see anything new at the auto show in New York.
The torque of the novelty is a completely different story, thanks to the turbocharging, now it is 261 Nm, which is slightly more in comparison with the previous one. In addition to the above parameters, the power of the novelty is achieved thanks to the short gears of the manual transmission, electronic steering and other electronic systems. This whole set is mounted on 18 ″ alloy wheels and 235/40 tires, as well as the novelty has found modern disc brakes at 12.3 ″.
Crossover Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 and GLC 63 Coupe 2018
Further, the list of auto exhibitions in New York was supplemented by two crossovers from Germany - these are the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 and GLC 63 Coupe 2018. These are not just two crossovers, but loaded rockets, this time completely new cars are presented. According to representatives, the platform is based on the C class platform, but these two new items come exclusively with all-wheel drive. The 4Matic + crossover's all-wheel drive system does not allow drifting on the road, like the 4Matic + system on the E63 S '.
The new crossovers Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 and GLC 63 Coupe 2018 are equipped with the well-known 63 and 63 S, as well as the C63 family. The biturbo V8 engine, with a volume of 4 liters, will be able to produce 476 or 469 horses, with a maximum torque of 650 Nm. Thanks to the S mark, the buyer will receive 510 or 503 horses with a maximum torque of 700 Nm. These models will be on display at the New York Auto Show.
The new engine will be paired with a nine-speed MCT 9, as standard AMG, with a double clutch. With this configuration, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S will be able to overcome the first hundred on the speedometer in 3.8 seconds.
Buick Regal Sportback and Regal Tour X 2018 in New York
Finally, Buick will present a new generation of the famous Regal at the auto show in New York. As expected, the new generation Buick Regal is based on the Opel Insignia platform. But this time it's because General Motors owns the rights to this development. There is nothing particularly new to find, but the station wagon is based on four-wheel drive. The American twin brother of the already famous Opel Insignia Country Tour and Commodore Tourer is equipped with a four-cylinder engine with a volume of 2 liters. The power of such a unit is 250 hp, with 400 Nm of torque. The version of the Regal Sportback, aka sedan, will be equipped with all-wheel drive as an option, and in the basic configuration with front-wheel drive. Also, the basic configuration of the sedan includes a turbocharged engine with a volume of 2 liters. and a torque of 352 Nm. The front-wheel drive version will be paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive with an 8-speed transmission. It is this version of the novelty that will be presented at the auto show in New York.
Infiniti QX80 Monograph
Infiniti decided to surprise the guests of the auto show in New York. A completely new model QX80 Monograph will be presented at the exhibition, previously only one photo was shown and therefore it is impossible to tell anything about the characteristics of the new item. It remains only to wait for the official show at the auto show in New York to understand how quickly the new Infiniti QX80 Monograph will conquer the SUV market, and who will become its competitor.
Many say that the SUV presented at the auto show in New York will become a production model and will find quite a few competitors of this class.
Toyota FT-4X Concept
Rounding out this list of the New York exhibition is the new Toyota FT-4X concept. The novelty replaces the already discontinued FJ Cruiser. While Jeep is preparing to launch the JL Wrangler, and Ford is trying to bring the Bronco back into production, Toyota can take a break for a while, look for new rivals and just think about what to bring new to the automotive market. Information about the new concept in New York is not yet available, except that the known tire size 255/55 on light-alloy proprietary 18 ″ wheels.
Earlier in October 2016, Toyota representatives stuttered that they were preparing a new development of an all-wheel drive SUV for the auto show in New York, called the FT-4X, which will replace the FJ Cruiser. We will wait for the official presentation of the novelty in New York in order to fully see the long-awaited SUV. The predecessor of the Toyota FJ Cruiser was in great demand among off-road enthusiasts, we expect that the new product will show the best parameters, or at least the same.
According to preliminary data, the auto show in New York will bring many new models, which will be available in dealerships in a few months. More detailed information will be available after the start of the exhibition on April 14. Often, the cars presented at the auto show in New York then become novelties, despite the name of the concept.
