New York plays host to a wealth of new cars over the coming week. Read on for all you need to know
This year's New York motor show features a number of important debuts; Land Rover will officially take the wraps off the new Range Rover Sport, the Mercedes CLA 45 AMG is being premiered and Infiniti will show its latest QX60 SUV. Here's the definitive Autocar list of the show cars.
The seven-seat SUV from Honda's premium arm will offer front-wheel drive for the first time. Expect the styling of the third-generation car to closely mirror the recently seen concept.
Buick plans to launch or significantly facelift five of its models in 2013. The LaCrosse gets updated styling and a revised interior — featuring an upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system. Front- and four-wheel drive will be available.
The Vauxhall Insignia-based Regal will gain cosmetic tweaks in line with its Vauxhall twin. Styling is likely to borrow from the Cascada and the interior will be updated.
In an attempt to boost falling sales, Cadillac's 5-series rival has received a detailed overhaul. Styling cues are borrowed from the ATS and a new twin-turbo V6 will top the engine range.
Details are currently scarce on Chevrolet's plans for its legendary muscle car. Expect mild styling tweaks and more power for the 2014 model year Camaro.
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible
The Corvette C7 convertible will make its American debut at New York. With no structural changes over the coupé, the weight gain is only from the fabric hood. The powertrain is identical, meaning a 6.2-litre V8 with 450bhp and a seven-speed manual gearbox.
The SS marks the return of a sporting saloon flagship for the first time in 17 years. It's powered by Chevrolet's venerable 6.2-litre V8, producing 411bhp. The SS will also be sold in Australia as a Holden.
The US-market Dodge Durango will be facelifted at New York. as well as mild cosmetic tweaks, the Durango will also receive a 3.0-litre V6 diesel and eight-speed automatic transmission.
Hyundai's flagship saloon is to become even more opulent as part of its facelift. Reclining rear seats are now standard, and TFT instrumentation is also fitted. Aesthetically, the new Equus can be identified by its LED headlights.
The Accord range-extender will be the most efficient saloon on sale in America, with an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) fuel economy figure of 115mpg. There are currently no plans to introduce the Accord Plug-In to Britain.
In other markets, the Honda Jazz is known as the Fit. The EV offers a range of 82 miles and the electric motors develop 189lb ft of torque. As with the Accord, the Fit/Jazz EV appears unlikely to arrive in Britain.
The QX60 is Infiniti's replacement for the FX50 SUV. It will introduce a petrol-electric hybrid to the range in a bid to attract more sales in Britain. Infiniti claims the QX60 hybrid will be 24 per cent more efficient than the 3.7-litre V6.
Jaguar's flagship saloon is returning with a 542bhp 5.0-litre V8. The XJR's cosmetic changes are subtle over the standard XJ and include a small front lip spoiler, darkened mesh grille and new five-spoke alloys.
The latest Cherokee will rival the Land Rover Freelander when it arrives later this year. It is underpinned by Fiat's Compact Wide platform and powered by a range of downsized petrol and diesel engines.
Mercedes will show the range-topping version of its latest saloon at New York. Using the drivetrain of the A45 AMG, the CLA AMG is powered by a 355bhp 2.0-litre turbo and is four-wheel drive.
The Mirage replaces the Colt in Mitsubishi's range and is offered with a pair of three-cylinder engines, both emitting less than 100g/km. The Colt will cost from £8999.
The second-generation Range Rover Sport is based on the Premium Lightweight Architecture (PLA) of the latest Range Rover. Its styling is inspired by the Evoque and will offer the option of seven seats.
Limited to just 100 units, the S/C 1000 boasts 1183bhp thanks to a reworked 5.8-litre V8. Brakes and suspension are also upgraded to cope with the power. Shelby is charging approximately £102,000 for each S/C 1000.
The Time Attack Viper is a track-focused version of SRT's supercar. Just 33 will be made with upgraded suspension and Brembo brakes.
Toyota's large SUV is being revised for the New York show. It takes cues from the latest RAV4 to make it more family friendly whilst its V6 petrol engines are likely to become more efficient.
