On our way to the NY Auto Show!

Good morning, automotive enthusiasts! Our team of News Editor Joel Stocksdale and Associate Editor Byron Hurd are on their way to the show floor at the Javits in New York as I type this. We’ll bring you all the latest car and truck news live from the 2024 NY Auto Show right here in our live blog.

Stay tuned, it all starts soon!

Weighty topics are hanging over the car biz

On the eve of the New York Auto Show, a number of weighty topics are hanging over the car biz. First and foremost, the nation’s busiest port of entry for new vehicles — Baltimore — is recovering after a 984-foot Singapore flagged container vessel called Dali rammed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the structure. Multiple people were still missing as of Tuesday afternoon.

Before the nation awoke to the startling news this morning, the car world has been buzzing over the future of EVs, with questions of price, infrastructure and politics coloring the discussion. EVs are hovering around 8 percent of the market, but the next stage of growth remains uncertain. As the press takes to the floor of Javits this week, AI will also take center stage as automakers ponder its uses and potential implications. — Editor-in-chief Greg Migliore

Genesis GV80 Magma… apparently not coming to the U.S.

The Genesis GV60 Magma isn’t the only hot new car on the way. The GV80 Magma gets a similar treatment with a wide body kit, larger grilles and even some extra hood vents.

The whole car is lowered with very tight wheel arch gaps, and it has the same brightly painted seats. Sadly, it’s an extremely limited-run vehicle. Genesis didn’t say how many it would produce, but they’ll only be available to Middle Eastern markets.

Genesis GV60 Magma at the NY Auto Show

Liquid hot magma? Well, not really. But it’s still pretty hot, and it’s definitely orange like lava. Genesis used the 2024 NY Auto Show to reveal its new Magna performance line, starting with the electric GV60. It will be the first of the Magma cars to launch globally, and not as a limited-run vehicle.

Yes, it is coated in a vivid orange paint that continues to the painted seat backs and double-diamond contrast stitching, but there’s more to it than that. The GV60 Magna gets wider fender flares, larger grilles and vents for battery and powertrain cooling, and canards, fins and a rear wing for improved downforce and stability. Even the wheels have claimed aerodynamic benefit, with the covers diverting air to cool the brakes.

We expect a lot of horsepower sent to all four wheels and a sport-tuned suspension.

Genesis Neolun Concept debuts ahead of NY Auto Show debut

This here is the Genesis Neolun Concept. It’s a large, flagship luxury SUV, as you can see. But more than that, the Neolun previews a production model and offers hints at where Genesis design is headed.

There are some cool details here. The Neolun features rear coach doors, similar to those on the Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition, and Genesis notes that this might be a feature that actually makes it to production. The interior may be the coolest part, though, with purple cashmere and leather, seats that swivel to face rearward, and an enormous flexible screen that rolls and unrolls as needed.

Kia K4 will replace the Forte sedan

One exciting new vehicle that we saw make an early debut at the NY Auto Show is the Kia K4. This small car will replace the Kia Forte, and it’ll do so with a newfound sense of style. 

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the new Kia K4, so stay tuned. We’ll share all the details as soon as we get them.

Oh, and get a load of that green and highly asymmetrical interior!
