Car companies trotted out their latest and greatest vehicles at the 2023 New York auto show.
We saw plenty of sleek electric cars, battery-powered pickup trucks, and powerful muscle cars.

From an electric truck to the sleek new Toyota Prius, these were the coolest rides we saw at this year's New York International Auto Show.

The sleek SUV will start at around $45,000 and offer up to 320 miles of range.

We also caught a glimpse of the Equinox EV, Chevy's future bargain-bin model that it says will start at $30,000.

It goes on sale this fall, but the cheapest model won't be available until 2024.

Ford trotted out the mean-looking Mustang Dark Horse, a high-performance, track-oriented version of its iconic muscle car.

The Dark Horse gets carbon-fiber wheels, a dramatic spoiler, and a 5.0-liter V8 engine targeting 500 horsepower.

Speaking of souped-up muscle cars, Dodge showed off the Challenger SRT Demon 170, its absurdly powerful farewell to the current Challenger model.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170.Tim Levin/Insider

The SRT Demon 170 costs an evil $96,666 and cranks out more than 1,000 horsepower, according to the brand.

The 3,000-unit limited-edition model comes as Dodge looks to electrify its lineup.

The brand's electric Charger Daytona SRT concept offers a preview of what that gas-free future will look like.

The sleek coupe retains all the drama of Dodge's growling gas vehicles.

It has a multi-speed transmission (highly unusual in EVs), a loud fake exhaust, and all-around performance that beats Dodge's famed SRT Hellcat V8 engine.

Kia debuted the US version of the EV9, a delightfully chunky electric SUV hitting streets later in 2023.

The Kia EV9.Tim Levin/Insider

It offers up a sleek cabin, seating for up to seven people, and up to 300 miles of estimated range.

Lexus is a bit late to the EV game, but it's arrived with the RZ450e.

The Lexus RZ450e.Tim Levin/Insider

The brand's first EV provides a comfy cabin but a disappointing 220 miles of EPA-estimated range. It costs around $60,000 to start.

The expo was teeming with new and exciting electric cars, so here's another one: Hyundai's Ioniq 6.

The striking, streamlined sedan will offer up to 361 miles of range, beating out Tesla's Model 3.

The Prius has come a long way from its egg-shaped beginnings.

More streamlined than ever before, the next-generation hybrid is a stunner.

Plus, it offers better performance and, importantly, fuel economy than the outgoing model.

We save the best — or at least the most aspirational — for last.

The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato.Tim Levin/Insider

This is Lamborghini's Huracan Sterrato, which the brand calls "the first all-terrain super sports car." It rides 1.7 inches higher than a regular Huracan.

It has knobby tires, protective cladding, and extra lights up front. And, since this is a Lambo after all, the Huracan Sterrato has 602 horsepower and can can hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, the brand claims.

I paid $6,500 for British Airways' business-class Club Suite from London to Sydney. The lie-flat seat and sliding door made it worth every penny.
