The three Detroit automakers were well represented at the annual show, which recently moved from late winter to fall.
The Detroit auto show may not hold the weight it used to, falling behind Los Angeles and New York in importance, but it still features big debuts every year from its newly-named home at Huntington Place in the downtown area. This year was mainly about the Detroit three automakers, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, who each premiered vehicles that are important to their bottom line.
Other brands are represented at the show, the public days of which run from September 16-24, including Ferrari, Lamborghini and the German luxury marques, who are represented by local dealers. There are also electric vehicles to see from all brands.
About a third of Huntington Place is reserved for drives of those electric vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, GMC Hummer EV and Ford F-150 Lightning, among others. Jeep also has an off-road course for attendees to enjoy.
Here are the biggest reveals from the 2023 Detroit Auto Show:
The 2025 Cadillac CT5 arrives with a new front fascia and more equipment standard. Buyers can choose between a 237-horsepower (hp) four-cylinder engine or a 335-hp twin-turbo six-cylinder engine. All power is routed through a ten-speed automatic transmission to the rear or all four wheels.
In addition to the Google Built-in infotainment architecture, the CT5 is now available with a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, Blind Zone Steering Assist and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. The latter watches for cars going through an intersection as the sedan approaches.
