On January 9, Ford unveiled the next generation Ford Explorer. The Ford Explorer is an SUV mainstay, and the much-anticipated 2020 Explorer replaces the 2011 generation with new head lights, new grille, higher end trims, extra storage, and EcoBoost engines.

Infiniti also released photos of its QX Inspiration Concept before the auto show, showcasing a luxury electric SUV. The official reveal will occur at the show.
