The new, premium Jeep Cherokee Overland model is on display as well as the full lineup of new and award-winning Jeep vehicles.

FIAT Brand
The FIAT brand is showcasing the all-new 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, a revival of the iconic roadster that combines Italian style, performance and engaging driving dynamics with best-in-class horsepower and torque. Paying homage to the original 124 Spider nearly 50 years after its introduction, the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider delivers the ultimate Italian roadster experience with driving excitement, technology and safety combined with iconic Italian design. The latest addition to the 124 Spider lineup is the Elaborazione Abarth, which is making its North American debut at the New York auto show. Created specifically for performance enthusiasts, the Fiat 124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth features a sport suspension; mechanical limited slip differential; Sport Mode selector; an aggressive appearance; and available high-performance seats and brakes.

In addition, the FIAT brand display features several vehicles, including the 2016 Fiat 500X which offers an advanced all-wheel-drive system, functionality and a full array of safety, comfort and convenience features.

Chrysler Brand
The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, which reinvents the minivan segment with an unprecedented level of functionality, versatility, technology and bold styling, also will be on display. Re-engineered from the ground up on an all-new platform, the Pacifica delivers class-leading gasoline and hybrid powertrains to the minivan segment. With more than 100 available safety and security features, the all-new Uconnect Theater rear seat entertainment system, and a full array of comfort and convenience technologies, the Chrysler Pacifica is a no-compromises minivan ideally suited for today's families.

Making their New York debut, the 2016 Chrysler 200S and Chrysler 300S with Alloy Edition packages will be available this spring at dealerships nationwide.

Building upon their rich heritage of performance, muscle cars and innovative engineering, the Dodge and SRT performance brands are showcasing the 707-horsepower Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat cars. The Dodge display also will feature the record-setting 2016 Dodge Viper ACR — the indisputable "ultimate street-legal race car" with more track records than any production car in the world with a total of 13 road course lap records as certified by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). And making its New York debut is the Viper ACR Extreme sporting a Matte White exterior paint and Brass Monkey wheels.

For truck buyers who want both luxury and performance, Ram's chart-topping Limited editions, available in Ram 1500, 2500 or 3500, are on display alongside the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, featuring the best fuel economy of any full-size truck at 29 mpg highway. And for those who require the highest levels of capability, the Ram 2500 is on the show floor along with the Ram ProMaster, Ram ProMaster City and Ram Commercial's cargo vans.
