There’s plenty to look forward to at the 2017 New York Auto Show.
Media preview days for the 2017 New York Auto Show starts April 12 while public show dates will run from April 14 to April 23 this year at the Javits Center. Several automakers have already teased what they will be debuting in New York this year, while others are staying relatively quiet in hopes of surprising the industry. Here’s what to expect at the 2017 New York Auto Show, which is the final auto show of the season.
Acura
The 2018 Acura TLX will make its debut in New York, sporting a new front end inspired by the Acura Precision Concept. Unfortunately for the Japanese automaker, spy photographers have already caught the refreshed sedan testing without any camouflage, so we already know what to expect.

Buick
The 2018 Buick Enclave is set to debut and it will go on sale later this year. The model is expected to keep its rather conservative styling but with a sportier, slimmed down appearance. What is expected but not confirmed is the new Regal and Regal TourX models, based on the Opel Insignia that was shown at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
Dodge
In one of the most elaborate teaser campaigns yet, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will finally debut at the 2017 New York Auto Show. The American automaker has been teasing the sports car for months now, and the automotive world has been in a frenzy wondering if the Challengers in the upcoming Fast and Furious is indeed the Demon. We’ll finally know all the details soon.
Honda
Honda has already confirmed it will unveil two new Clarity family members in New York: a plug-in hybrid and a fully electric version. Those two will join the current fuel cell version already available in certain markets.
On a more exciting note, Honda will bring the production version of the Civic Si to New York. We’ve seen a “prototype” version before, but don’t expect it to look too different this time around. We will, however, see the Si Sedan for the first time ever, and final specs should be released for both models at the show.
Hyundai
The 2018 Hyundai Sonata was already unveiled in South Korea, but it should make its North American debut in New York. Expect a more aggressive design for the sedan along with updates to the interior.
Jaguar
The Jaguar F-Type is expected to show off a minor facelift along with the addition of four-cylinder engines from the British automaker’s Ingenium family. Look for the more fuel-efficient powerplants to generate around 300 horsepower to compete with the Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman models.
Jeep
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is finally coming. The model has been an open secret for quite a while now and spy photographers have caught it testing multiple times. Jeep will not only present it at the 2017 New York Auto Show, but also at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. Look for it to sport around 707 hp, just like other existing Hellcat models.
Lexus

Lexus will pull the sheet from the 2018 LS 500 F Sport next week at the 2017 New York Auto Show. Available with the LS 500 and LS 500h, the new F Sport trim for this car brings along better handling, a smoother ride and a quieter cabin.
Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-AMG will bring the GLC63 and GLC63 Coupe to New York, showing off the high-performance versions of its luxury SUV. Spy photographers caught the GLC63 Coupe in action late last year, sporting very little camouflage.
Nissan
Nissan didn’t want to keep anything a secret and has already shown off the GT-R Track Edition that will be on display in New York. Sporting 565 hp, the GT-R Track Edition will be available starting late summer 2017 and it will be by order only.
Toyota
Toyota will have a few things on display at the 2017 New York Auto Show, but the most exciting is the FT-4X Concept it has already teased. The name suggests it will be a successor of sorts to the FJ Cruiser, but more importantly, it gives Toyota a Jeep competitor for its lineup. The Japanese automaker will also show off the new Sienna and Yaris models.

Toyota still wants to be like a Jeep! I think it won't be ever possible! Forget it, Toyota! lol
" it gives Toyota a Jeep competitor for its lineup." Forget it, Toyota! You will NEVER compete with the Jeep. You only make inferior copies, as Land Rover did.
