favorites & concepts

Checking out the forward-looking concept vehicles and the notable new releases is always a highlight of the Auto Show.

 

 

 

 

 

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020 had a better showing of exciting concept vehicles with integrated self-driving technology, innovative cabins and connected technologies. Unfortunately, the Auto Show’s displays were not as strong. There seems to be a shift toward CES being the place to show the truly boundary-pushing concepts rather than the Auto Shows.

most exciting production vehicle

The Land Rover Defender is a purposefully designed machine with iconic styling. Accessory packs aimed at different lifestyles: Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban, make it the right vehicle for anyone.

 

The round lights are immediately recognizable.

Alpine lights add to the vehicle’s personality and shed light in the cabin.

audi's vehicle line up

In the past we’ve critiqued an overabundance of screens in dashboards that seemed mismatched and overdone. Audi, in contrast, has done a nice job of having two screens that are still clean and unintimidating.

 

While the two screens enabled interaction in the dash, most physical buttons were moved onto the steering wheel and doors.The styling on doors, use of materials, and design language beautifully carried through from model to model.
