Korean auto giant Kia-Hyundai was especially powerful, with all their brands-more than half of the new products belonged to him. So, the premium brand Genesis has introduced a concept-book [X Gran Equator Concept](https://motor.ru/news/genesis-x-gran-equator-16-04-2025.htm). This is a kind of exercise in style: an attempt to develop a corporate design for Genesis SUVs.
[Automotive Rhythms](https://www.automotiverhythms.com/) Until now, the designer language of the brand did not imply brutality, and even the crossovers of Genesis had an emphasized “light” appearance. The “equator” is distinguished by a combination of monumental forms, very concise contours and the dual optics of the doubles of optics. The dynamics of the silhouette gives a tilt of the rear rack and a long hood.
[Automotive Rhythms](https://www.automotiverhythms.com/) The only technical information applies to the wheels: the concept has 24-inch discs with poor lobes, shod in “toothy” off-road tires. It is not said about the power unit: we can only assume by the lack of a radiator grille that we have an electric car.
[Automotive Rhythms](https://www.automotiverhythms.com/) The interior of the “equator” is amazing today: it does not have a single sensory screen-instead, seven small round displays stylized under the turnout scales and massive “rocking” keys on the central console. There are comfortable places for four riders and four light hatches in the roof, for each its own. The finish is two -color – a blue plus cream, massive handles are made on the front panel.
[Automotive Rhythms](https://www.automotiverhythms.com/) Also, the Genesis GMR-001 sports prototype was brought to the exhibition, where the factory team plans to perform in the World Long Rounds (WeC) championship since 2026 and in the American IMSA series since 2027. Formally his presentation [состоялась](https://motor.ru/news/genesis-hypercar-04-12-2024.htm) back in December at an event in Dubai, but then the journalists in fact showed a large-scale mock-but a real car was already brought to New York. The bright orange livery corresponds to the color of the road “charged” models of Genesis Magma series.
[Automotive Rhythms](https://www.automotiverhythms.com/) The prototype is built in accordance with the technical requirements of the LMDH class, it is based on the chassis of the French company ORECA (which is already used in the Acura ARX-06 and Alpine A424). V8 3.2 engine with two turbines – own [разработка](https://motor.ru/news/genesis-gmr-001-001-30-12-2024.htm) Hyundai Motorsport based on the in-line Four 1.6 from the Hyundai I20 N Rally1 rally prototype (on which the Hyundai factory team performs in the World Cup. by rally). Like all machines of this class, Genesis has a hybrid power plant, its components are standardized (7-speed XTRAC box, Bosch electric motor, Williams Advanced Engineering battery).
Genesis usa Mark Hyundai arranged the American premiere of the crossover [Palisade второго поколения](https://motor.ru/news/hyundai-palisade-usa-19-04-2025.htm). In Korea there was a big SUV [представлен](https://motor.ru/news/new-palisade-06-12-2024.htm) Last December-it became larger, stepping over five meters, and received a four-cylinder turbo engine 2.5 (including in the hybrid version). But for the US market, a set of power units is different. A large atmospheric V6 was preserved here – now it is an unit with a volume of 3.5 liters with direct injection (G6DU index, 291 hp, 353 Nm). It is combined with an eight -speed “automatic”, there is a choice between front or all -wheel drive.
Hyundai Motor America The Americans are also offered a hybrid version: it has a turbocomotor 2.5 (262 hp) under its hood, aggregated with a six -speed “automatic”, which built an electric motor. The total return of the power plant is 334 hp. and 460 nm. The course on one tank is 996 km.
Hyundai Motor America In addition, a more “off -road” version of Palisade XRT Pro has been prepared for the American market. It has a pendant with a 25 mm clearance (213 mm), an electronic rear differential lock and more “toothy” Continental Crosscontact ATR tires with a high sidewall profile (dimension 255/60 R18).
Hyundai Motor America The plastic plumage in the XRT Pro version was changed in a more masculine way: here is the abundance of unpainted inserts, another front bumper with a radiator grille in a large cage, and the entire lower belt of the other, and also stationary towing eyes appeared. Also, due to new parts, geometric cross -country ability was improved: the entry angle is increased to 20.5 °, the angle of the exit is 22.4 °.
Hyundai Motor America The Kia brand had two premieres at once. Model Kia K4 finally [получила](https://motor.ru/news/kia-k4-view-19-04-2025.htm) Hatbek body. Recall that the sedan of the same name was introduced a year ago, also at the Motor Show in New York: he replaced the C-class model Kia Cerato/Forte. (In Europe, the same niche occupies [Kia Ceed](https://motor.ru/testdrives/kiaceedupd.htm) – according to rumors, k4 [заменит](https://motor.ru/news/kia-ceed–Axe-08-03-2025.htm) and his).

The hatchback in the photo is in the top version of GT-Line, which differs not only in a sports body kit, but also reinforced brakes and a multi-link suspension behind.
Kia america Another premiere is intra-American: in New York, the KIA EV4 electric car debuted, declassified [в минувшем феврале](https://motor.ru/news/kia-ev4-17-02-2025.htm). In size, it corresponds to the Kia K4 gasoline model, but technically it is another machine. It is based on an E-GMP 400-volt platform with McPherson racks in front and a multi-link suspension from behind. The Americans are proposed only in the form of a sedan, but the technical filling is the same as in the rest of the world: an electric motor with a capacity of 204 hp. On the front axis and two variants of the traction battery (with a capacity of 58.3 kW · h or 81.4 kW · h; the course of the course of 378 km and 531 km is promised).
Kia america The premiere took place at the Subaru stand [нового Outback](https://motor.ru/news/all-new-subaro-utbeback-17-04-2025.htm). The change of generations was accompanied by a radical change in format: before Outback was a raised version of the Legacy station wagon – but after the termination of the release of the mother model, it was allocated into a separate line. In the seventh generation, the proportions of the body became more “cross -tavern” – the height of the roof is increased immediately by 50 mm. The road clearance is the same, 221 mm, but the wheels can first have a diameter of up to 19 inches. Under the hood-still atmospheric atmospheric 2.5 (183 hp) and a turbo engine 2.4 (264 hp), aggregated with the clinical variator Lineartronic. There is also a more “off-road” version of Wilderness with an increased road clearance to 241 mm, other bums that improve geometric cross-country ability, 17-inch wheels and an abundance of unpainted plastic.

In fact, this is the same Solterra, but with the extended rear overhang and a slightly more aggressive design of the front: 15 centimeters longer and 2 centimeters higher (the latter is explained by more massive roof rails). He has the same battery with a capacity of 74.7 kWh, but the power of electric motors is higher – 375 hp. In total.

In recent years, car dealerships have ceased to be an important media event – and this happened long before the Pandemia of Coronavirus. Some exhibitions were reduced on a scale, some completely closed-as happened with the Geneva car dealership. The salon in New York was not an event of the first magnitude before, and now it has completely turned into a small regional event. However, this year, to our surprise, several car concerts at once chose this site for the presentation of important innovations – and important not only in American, but even on a global scale. So the editorial office of Motor hastened to prepare a review.
