Chicago Auto Show 2017

Car manufacturers are getting into the business of moving people without selling them a car. Within GM, that push led to the creation of Maven. New Atlas spoke with Deric Harwood, Head of Maven Chicago about ride sharing, and how it's helping develop autonomous cars.

Always fun to visit​, the CAS also has more floor space and ride-and-drive events included than any other show. This year, along with blacked-out trim packages​, famous race cars and new reveals, there was also something for Star Wars and Lego fans.

Along with the Hyundai Elantra GT Sport and Toyota RAV4 Adventure, the Chicago Auto Show played host to the Dodge Challenger Mopar, a two-tone special designed to celebrate 80 years worth of big wings, hood scoops and antifreeze from Mopar.

Mercedes-Benz had a tough road to the 2017 Chicago Auto Show. How to outdo last year's mean, green Sprinter Extreme? We're not sure it's done it, but it's definitely made quite an effort with a Metris van all dressed up like a toolbox on wheels, complete with carry handle.

Toyota gets in on the SUV fun at this year's Chicago Auto Show, making its RAV4 an unlikely adventure hero. The new RAV4 Adventure is another "active lifestyle" package that brings a higher ride height, more rugged looks and other upgrades.

Europeans might know it as the i30 but ​Hyundai likes to do things differently in the US, launching the warmed-over Elantra GT Sport with a 200 hp (149 kW) engine and purist-pleasing six-speed manual gearbox. The Golf GTI won't be losing any sleep, but the warm hatch bodes well for the i30N.

With the Weekend Edition concept, Volkswagen adds some strategic accessories to the new Atlas SUV, transforming it into a shuttle set for family recreation and adventure with room to pack the kids, gear, suitcases and even the family dog up for a long weekend on the road.

Dodge is making its Durango a fast, wild animal built for all-out performance. Dubbed the "Dodge Charger of the full-size SUV segment," the new Durango SRT packs power and performance previously unimaginable for a factory Durango.

When it comes to delivery vans, there isn't usually much to get excited about. The one-off Nissan NV Cargo X is an exception to the rule. With a proper off-road suspension, Cummins diesel engine and bright sticker kit, it'll get your package delivered – no matter the destination.
