NAIAS DETROIT MOTOR SHOW 2019 HIGHLIGHTS REVIEW TOUR

EV Channels Review

The Autogefühl review tour of the 2019 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit highlights several key vehicles. The Ram 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty trucks are showcased, emphasizing their increased towing and payload capacities, powerful Cummins diesel engine options (up to 1000 lb-ft of torque), and luxurious, tech-filled interiors that mirror the 1500 model. The reviewer notes the impressive strength and capability but also the sheer size. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the new Gladiator pickup are also featured. The Wrangler is praised for its off-road prowess and iconic design, though on-road steering refinement is noted as a compromise. The Gladiator is presented as a practical adventure vehicle, blending Wrangler's DNA with a functional bed. The Mopar Hellephant 1000 hp crate engine is a standout, offering immense power for custom builds. The Lexus LC500 and its convertible concept are admired for their dramatic styling and V8-driven driving experience, while the RC F Track Edition is highlighted for its significant weight reduction, carbon fiber enhancements, and improved track performance, achieving a faster 0-60 time. Finally, the highly anticipated 2020 Toyota Supra makes its debut, sharing its platform with the BMW Z4 and featuring a 335 hp turbocharged inline-six, promising agile handling and a return to form for the iconic nameplate.
