Almost as long as there has been an automobile, there’s been an auto show in New York. The 2019 New York International Auto Show runs from April 19 – 28 at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan, the latest edition in a run of annual expositions of the best and most up-to-date in automotive design, engineering, and technology that began in 1900 at the first Madison Square Garden. 1949 marked the First International Automobile Show at the 69th Regiment Armory. Since 1987, the show has been held at the Javits Center. The show is expected to attract more than 1 million attendees this year, with vehicles and booths spread across over 900,000 square feet of display space.

Here are some of the must-see vehicles at the 2019 New York International Auto Show.

The 2019 Audi Q3 has benefitted from a sharpened exterior design following cues of the latest generation of its larger sibling, Q5. It is longer, wider and taller than the outgoing Q3.

A digital instrument cluster with a 10.25-inch screen is standard, along with a 10.1-inch touchscreen display at the top of the center stack. A 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder gas engine with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system is standard on all trim levels.

2020 Ford Escape

The 2020 Ford Escape makes its first U.S. car show appearance at 2019 NYIAS. The Escape first debuted as a 2001 model, and has gone on to become Ford’s second-best seller (right after the F-Series pickups), so a new fourth-generation vehicle is a big deal. The Escape will be available with two gasoline-only powertrain choices (new 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter EcoBoost), and two new hybrid gasoline-electric choices (conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid). The Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) Escape projects to have an EV range of 30 miles. Gasoline-only models will have a sliding second-row seat, allowing for best-in-class second-row legroom when slid fully rearward, and 37.5 cubic feet of luggage space when slid fully forward.

Fall 2019 for gasoline-only and HEV models; Spring 2020 for PHEV.
