2019 LA Auto Show: Vehicles for Every Lifestyle

This year at the LA Auto Show, electric vehicles took center stage. We round up vehicles for every type of lifestyle that we saw at the 2019 LA Auto Show.

Thrill Seeker

The 2020 Audi RS Q8 made quite an entrance with its massive grille and striking lime green exterior. It’s got good looks and plenty of power, thanks to its 4.0-liter V8, which also sits under the hood of the RS 6 Avant. It can get from 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds and up to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. You can also check out the 2020 Subaru WRX STI Series.White, which makes 310 horsepower and is available only with a 6-speed manual. It stands out with 19-inch matte bronze wheels and silver brake calipers.

Weekend Warrior

The 2021 Kia Seltos debuted at the LA Auto Show, making it the latest crossover to join the company’s growing family. It offers 7.2 inches of ground clearance along with a rugged design that echoes its slightly older sibling, the Telluride. Even better? According to Kia, the Seltos will have a starting MSRP of under $22,000. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime also debuted, showcasing a new plug-in hybrid powertrain that packs 302 horsepower. You can expect 39 miles of all-electric range and 90 MPGe.

EV Enthusiast

We saw plenty of EVs at the LA Auto Show that offer a combination of performance, range, and technology. The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E features a 15-inch touchscreen and an EPA-estimated 300-mile range. If you opt for the GT Performance Edition, a 98.8-kilowatt-hour battery makes 459 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque. The 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S also caught our eye. It’s got a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds and packs up to 562 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque if you opt for overboost with launch control. Inside, you’ve got up to four screens, with the 16.9-inch driver cluster, a 10.9-inch infotainment screen for the driver and another for the passenger, and an 8.4-inch screen in the console.

Luxury Shopper

The 2021 Lexus LC 500 convertible offers a number of luxe features, including the Lexus Climate Concierge, which tweaks the car’s heated seats, neck warmers, and heated steering wheel to the ideal temperature. BMW introduced a new version of the M2 with the 2020 M2 CS Coupe. It gets a 39-hp power increase to 444 hp and a 6-speed manual standard. Inside, it features Alcantara-and-leather seats and a Harman Kardon sound system.
