2019 Hyundai Veloster
The new Hyundai Veloster will be on display at the 2018 NAIAS. Set to release later this year, the Veloster hopes to return to profitability after its old model went stale. Based on the Elantra GT platform, the Veloster has the oddball design of a third door still in production but its overall looks have been refreshed and updated.
Its standard engine is a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-banger with an option for a 201-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter. You can expect the option of better performance also, with a 275-horsepower Veloster N packing a punch with 275 ponies.
Infiniti Q Inspiration Concept
Inifiniti has been hush-hush about the car they’ve brought to the show. What’s known is it’s their latest attempt at bringing back a flagship car to the lineup, and it’s called the Infiniti Q Inspiration. We know Infiniti’s breakthrough VC-Turbo technology powers the Q Inspiration – the world’s first production-ready variable compression ratio engine
The appearance is spectacular. Thin slits for headlights and a thin long taillight bar, a massive sculpted front grille and fascia with F-1 inspired inlets, and precise body lines that run front to rear on the low-slung sedan give a glimpse into what Infiniti wants to bring about in the future.
Nissan Xmotion Concept
Luckily, it’s just a concept because it’s an engineer’s worst nightmare. The Nissan Xmotion Concept looks to be what Nissan wants to inject into the lineup to replace the long-gone Xterra.
The Xmotion is designed for the off-road enthusiast with a longer wheelbase than the Rogue and a 4-inch wider stance, not to mention a chunky design that appeals to adventurers.
Dressed up for the NAIAS in carbon fiber and unrealistic spider-web wheels, the Nissan Xmotion Concept has a bunch of vetting to be done before it goes into production.
