LA Auto Show 2019

Pop off that top hat, your highness, you can leave the monocle on, and sink into the reclining, buttock-aspirating back seats of an ultra-luxury SUV that aims to equal or beat the Rollers and Bentleys on their own turf.

Adding another model to its lineup, Kia today revealed the all-new Seltos, a small SUV that noses between the Soul and Sportage. The small-but-rugged crossover is built to ride comfortably on everything from village cobblestone to backcountry grit.

At the time, we figured the concept it revealed in February looked ready to roll, and Lexus appears to have thought the same thing, hitting the LA Auto Show with the production version of its LC 500 Convertible that is very familiar.

The RAV4 probably wouldn't be a choice for most fun Toyota, but today Toyota injects some serious thrill-making muscle into the crossover, revealing the quickest, most powerful RAV4 ever. The 302-hp Prime is also Toyota's first plug-in hybrid RAV4.

The seventh concept vehicle to be unveiled under the MEB platform for electric vehicles, VW's ID Space Vizzion “previews a potential production car” in a small crossover-SUV style. It seats four or five, and has a range of up to 300 miles per charge.

Once again, Karma leaps into an auto show with multiple debuts and announcements. Those start immediately with the impressive SC2, an all-electric 1,100-hp supercar concept, extending through an electrified pickup truck lurking in the shadowy future.
