Let’s start with the Chrysler nameplate, which brought with it some of the biggest news of the entire event. It’s been almost 70 years since the Chrysler 300 hit the road, and Chrysler has decided that it is time to commemorate the model’s incredible history. They are doing so with the 2023 Chrysler 300C.

The 300C features tremendous raw power in the form of a HEMI engine that puts out 485 horsepower. As for design, the car features black chrome accents from the grille to the taillamp bezels. It will also be part of the final series of Chrysler 300 models to go on sale, as production is set to halt on this historic model at the end of the 2023 model year.

Jeep also got involved with new model announcements. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has been a highly popular plug-in hybrid, and now, Jeep is expanding its lineup with the Willys 4xe. It’s a nod to the past in terms of design, but also comes incredibly equipped for offroad adventure with equipment like Dana 44 axles, a factory-lifted suspension that gives you 10.1 inches of ground clearance and 30 inches of water fording. Jeep also announced a 30th anniversary edition of the Grand Cherokee 4xe, sporting blacked-out exterior design features.
