Article content From the floor of the New York International Auto Show, we’ve picked our hits and misses for the 2025 Edition. Now, unlike many recent auto shows that have been ever so quiet, the New York show is alive and vibrant with lots of new cars to reveal and talk about. So, let’s get started! Driving’s biggest hits from the 2025 New York Auto Show Hit: Genesis X Gran Equator Concept Clayton Seams: I don’t know much about this concept other than how it looks, but that’s enough for me because I love the design.
I like the long hood, the pushed-back windshield, those chunky tires. It’s got great, very unique proportions of a classic SUV. We don’t know when this car will reach production, or even if it will reach production, but for design alone, Genesis X Gran Equator Concept is my hit from the New York Auto Show.
Graeme Fletcher: My hit of the show is a vehicle that points a direction for all future GV models from Genesis. It’s drop-dead gorgeous. It is part SUV, part Grand Touring, thanks to that long hood and tight bustle tail.
No tailpipes, so it’s probably electric. As for the rest of it, the interior is to die for. It’s minimalistic, but luxury all the way.
I loved it, and I hope they built it. Hit: Jeep Wagoneer Overland Matthew Guy: One of my hits is the Jeep Wagoneer, but specifically the Overland model . Jeep has added some extra off-road capability to it, including 32-inch off-road tires.
There are also some differences in terms of styling like a black roof, for example, and while that doesn’t seem like a big deal, it’s the first time we’ve seen it on these. I do wish it was cheaper, as this costs some $98,000 but I think the content that is here is something that should have been on the Wagoneer all along, and for that reason, it’s one of my hits of the 2025 New York International Auto Show. Driving’s biggest misses from the 2025 New York Auto Show Miss: 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness Clayton Seams: Subaru is showing off a all-new Subaru Outback and there’s actually a lot to love.
It’s still all-wheel drive. It has a lot of ground clearance, plus a lot of features that outdoorsy people are going to love, such as high capacity roof rails that are not only for top loading, but also side loading. While I don’t object to its functionality.
I object to the Subaru Outback Wilderness ‘ fashion. The front end of this car is a face only a mother could love, and the back is not much better. Subaru tried to make this car look more aggressive.
For aesthetics alone, it’s my miss of the show. Miss: 2026 Kia K4 Graeme Fletcher: My miss of the show is the Kia EV4 . Quite simply, the world’s in love with SUVs and not sedans.
SUV sell, sedans don’t. And frankly, electric vehicles are not selling well, either. So, in my opinion, this thing is destined to be well, just another dust collector that’s sitting on a showroom floor.
Miss: Toyota Supra Final Edition Matthew Guy: My Miss for the 2025 New York International Auto Show is the Toyota Supra Final Edition, but not because it’s a Supra. I love the Supras. It’s a miss because it’s the final edition, which makes me sad.
I really, really, like the Supra. It has a lot of power and I think it looks even better in person than it does in pictures and on video. More importantly, I’m 6’6 and still fit in the thing, so even long-legged NBA-statured people can enjoy the awesome power and handling of the Toyota GR Supra.
