Last year's New York motor show saw manufacturers bringing in some big-hitters, including the Audi R8 Spyder, the facelifted Nissan GT-R and the Mazda MX-5 RF.
This year, there seems to be more US-focused models and a larger selection of SUVs, with the following cars tipped to appear when the show gets underway on April 12:
Acura TLX
Honda's upmarket Acura brand will be bringing the posh TLX to New York. The sedan’s look is heavily influenced by the sharply styled Precision Concept of last year's Detroit motor show.
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat’s 717hp clearly wasn’t enough for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), so they’ve boosted it and added numerous upgrades to make the SRT Demon. It promises to be one of the most extreme muscle cars on the road.
Ford GT
The show’s choice to put the Ford GT centre stage on its video poster suggests that it’ll have a large presence there.
Infiniti QX80
Infiniti’s enormous QX80 SUV will get a new look at the New York motor show, three years after it was initially revealed.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
Not happy with one Hellcat derivative at New York, FCA is expected to bring the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. It’ll get the same engine as the Dodge Hellcat, although it’s not yet known if it’ll be in that car's full-blown 717hp state of tune.
Range Rover Velar
Land Rover’s newest Range Rover model made a splash at the Geneva motor show, and will get its American debut at the New York motor show. Under the hood, the Velar is set to be offered with a choice of six engines. There’s a base 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, Ingenium diesel unit in 180hp and 240hp guises. The entry-level petrol engine is a new 2.0-litre Ingenium unit with 250hp. A more potent 300hp version of this engine is expected to join the international line-up by the end of this year.
Toyota FT-4X
Toyota has only shown a small section of the FT-4X, but the teaser image gives away that it’s on the more rugged end of the SUV scale, suggesting that it could be a replacement for the Hummer-esque FJ Cruiser.
