After the big splash at the Geneva Auto Show, people began wondering what can be in store at the New York Motor Show. After all, the Big Apple show is traditionally SUV and truck-friendly, although sports cars are also big favourites. So lets take a look at a selection of cars that are expected to make their debuts in New York this week.

The 2018 New York Motor Show Cars:

Cadillac XT4
Cadillac will reveal a compact SUV called the XT4 in New York and will be hoping for a boost in sales by tapping into the world’s fastest growing car segment.

Jaguar F-Pace SVR
Jaguar has confirmed it will reveal its most potent version of the F-Pace this week. Expect more than 540bhp from a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 and muscular styling to match.

Kia K900
We won’t get this luxury saloon in the UK, but Kia’s top American model often previews what’s to come elsewhere around the world.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class / C-Class Coupé / C-Class Cabriolet
The C-Class has just been revealed in facelifted form at Geneva, so New York will be the setting for the reveal of the tweaked Coupé and Cabriolet variants…

Mercedes-AMG C63
…as well as the stonking, twin-turbocharged V8-engined C63. The current model has 469bhp, so expect even more from this latest version.

Subaru Forester
Subaru’s new Forester SUV will be unveiled in New York, before a hybrid variant is unveiled at the Beijing motor show on 25 April.

Toyota RAV4
Toyota has already begun its launch campaign for the new RAV4, which can mean only one thing – it’s only days from being revealed. It’s expected to follow the Auris in ditching diesel engines, with a punchy 2.0-litre petrol-electric hybrid replacing the oil-burner.

Volkswagen Atlas five-seater
Volkswagen has previewed an SUV concept that shares a face (and therefore likely underpinnings) with the seven-seat Atlas, a North America-focused model. The New York concept is expected to be a five-seater, however. It won’t come to Europe because Volkswagen already offers a five-seat large SUV here, the Touareg.

If that is not enough to whet your appetite, then tune in and we’ll deliver some more as the show opens.
