| The 2019 Chicago Auto Show seems promising, with interesting reveals across all segments. |
The 2019 Chicago Auto Show is
kicking off and we’ve already seen some key reveals. The 2020 Subaru Legacy
looks quite like the old model to me, so I’m not quite sure how to feel about it
yet… But standard AWD is always a plus, and its new XT trim with its 2.4L turbo
boxer four-cylinder and 260 HP is sure to be interesting.
In addition to this, Toyota is
showing off new TRD models, including the TRD Pro Sequoia and RAV4 TRD Off Road.
The Sequoia needs a redesign, no matter how many packages and refreshes you throw
its way at this point, though I quite like the RAV4 TRD Off-Road. Its tires
look quite capable. Volkswagen is showing off the Jetta GLI, which has a 2.0L
turbo inline 4-cylinder from the GTI. Its good for 228 HP and 258 lb-ft. of torque,
which I’m sure will make the otherwise tame Jetta into a quick, sporty and fun
compact sedan. It looks good! In the right color at least - black I think will look best.
Kia is showing off the 2020 Forte
GT Line and facelifted 2020 Sportage crossover, which includes new ADAS
standard (i.e. lane-keep assist and more). Ram is showing off a new multifunction
tailgate on their trucks, which is obviously a direct response to GMC’s
MultiPro tailgate. If you couple this added functionality with Ram’s already class-leading
interior, I think GMC may have some competition.
More and More Rides

Limited and special edition models also typically are unveiled in large
amounts in Chicago. This year is no exception.

Of course, there’s much more to
see, as Alfa Romeo debuted a special edition 4C and Chrysler is celebrating 35 years of minivan history. I encourage you to tune in and research, as always. Thus far, I think Chicago is
shaping up to be more interesting and diverse than this year’s Detroit Auto
Show. Perhaps 2020 will mark a return of relevance for Detroit on that front. Let
me know what you’re interested in seeing or hearing more about from this year’s
auto show season.
