This week, we toured the 2024 Chicago auto show and reported on two debuts from Kia, the refreshed K5 midsize sedan and the 2025 Carnival minivan that now comes with a hybrid option. Lincoln followed Ford in showing off the redesigned Lincoln Aviator, a week after the 2025 Ford Explorer debuted.
There are plenty of 2024 models to cover as well, and we get some seat time in a Genesis G70, Tesla Model S, and a few others. From news to reviews, here’s what moved us this week.
