The first and only press day for the 2023 New York International Auto Show has pretty much come and gone. The Hyundai Motor Group was the biggest presence at the show, unveiling the U.S. market 2024 Kona N Line and Electric, as well as the Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Concept. The Kia EV9 and the Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept were also shown publicly for the first time.

The Korean group wasn’t the only one taking advantage of the show as Ram revealed formal specifications for the upcoming all-electric Ram 1500 Rev, while Subaru and VW showed more off-roady versions of their vehicles, the former with the Crosstrek Wilderness, and the latter with the Atlas Peak Edition. Jeep also introduced the world to the updated 2024 Wrangler.

Just because they were the brands with the most news doesn’t mean that they were the only ones in attendance. And our man on the show floor, Michael Gauthier, had plenty of reasons to whip out the camera and snap a few shots. Here’s a selection of some of the other interesting stuff we saw on the ground at the New York International Auto Show.

While those were the most talked-about brands at the New York International Auto Show, there were several other automakers in attendance as well. Our correspondent, Michael Gauthier, had plenty of reasons to whip out the camera and snap a few shots. Here’s a selection of some of the other interesting stuff we saw on the ground at the New York International Auto Show.

2024 Chevrolet Trax

Late last year, Chevrolet pulled the veil off the next-generation Trax. The brand’s new entry level model, it starts at $205 less than the vehicle it replaces despite bringing a wide variety of improvements. Here, its fresh new sheet metal is on full display, which highlights how awkward and high the rear sits over the wheels.

2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The next cheapest model in the Chevrolet lineup, the Trailblazer was updated for the 2024 model year. The brand brought an Activ and an RS model to the show this year, the latter of which gets rather large looking 19-inch rims. A new 11-inch infotainment screen helps the crossover feel a little more upmarket, while an eight-inch digital gauge cluster helps make it feel more modern.

2022 Chrysler Airflow Graphite Concept

First shown at the New York Auto Show in 2022, the Chrysler Airflow Graphite Concept is a riff on the Airflow Concept that trades the futuristic white on extremely pale gray aesthetic, for a more contemporary black and copper combination. The automaker said last year that the vehicle is a representation of “the many possibilities on our brand’s road to an all-electric future.”

Dodge Hornet GLH Concepts

When Dodge unveiled the Hornet, it impressed with its powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain. More recently, it has shown off what its in-house tuning department, Direct Connection, can do when it gets its hands on the crossover. With custom graphics, upgraded shocks, and 20-inch wheels, the GLH Concepts take the base vehicle (in hybrid and non-hybrid guises) and turns them up a notch.

Fiat 500 Kartell

Inspired by fancy furniture company, Kartell, this Fiat 500 special edition is finished in Yves Klein Blue. Meanwhile, the mirror caps, wheels, and dashboard inserts are made out of recycled polycarbonate, and their design is meant to evoke the Kartell Kabuki lamp. They will go on sale in the first quarter of 2024.

2023 Koenigsegg Gemera

Sweden’s Koenigsegg is known primarily for its ridiculous hypercars, so it came as a bit of a shock when it introduced its first four-seater, the Gemera. Seen on the show floor, it’s hard to imagine how it could fit all those people and a powertrain. And yet somehow, the automaker has managed to squeeze 1,700 hp (1,268 kW/1,723 PS) out of a three-cylinder engine and a trio of electric motors.

Lexus IS 600+ Project Build Concept

First shown at SEMA in November, the IS 600+ Project Build started out life as a Lexus IS 350, but has been modified to make more than 600 hp (447 kW/608 PS) thanks to a pair of turbos. It also has a sequential six-speed transmission, a four-point roll cage, KW coilovers, Michelin tires, and the back seats have been removed.

2024 Nissan GT-R

Nissan brought a trio of GT-Rs to the show. The design updates introduced for the 2024 model year are on full display here, with the new, thinner grille and the updated front fascia. For the show, the automaker brought out both a NISMO and a T-Spec version of the car, as well as a Midnight Purple R33 Skyline GT-R.

2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray

Finally, the quickest production Corvette in history, the C8-based E-Ray, adds two more lines on America’s most famous sports car resume by introducing hybrid power and all-wheel drive for the very first time. The combination of a 6.2-liter V8 and an electric motor results in an output of 655 HP with Chevy claiming a 0-to-60 mph (96 km/h) run in just 2.5 seconds. Impressive stuff.
