The Jeep brand returns to the show with the newest members of the Jeep family, including the all-new 2021 Grand Cherokee L and the Jeep Wrangler 4xe. The Jeep Grand Cherokee expands into three-row form for the first time as the Grand Cherokee L, breaking new ground in exceptional performance, comfort and functionality while continuing its legacy as the most awarded and celebrated SUV ever, with legendary 4x4 capability, improved on-road refinement, and premium styling and craftsmanship inside and out.

Alfa Romeo Brand
The Alfa Romeo Giulia midsize sedan and Stelvio SUV embody Alfa Romeo's "la meccanica delle emozioni" (the mechanics of emotion) spirit, delivering race-inspired performance with seductive Italian style, advanced technologies and available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems. Both the Giulia and Stelvio set the benchmark for performance in their respective segments by providing an exhilarating driving experience. Both models include new standard equipment, such as dual-pane sunroof and navigation on Ti and Ti Sport trims, and a limited-slip differential and dark exhaust on Ti Sport.

Chrysler Brand
As a five-time consecutive winner of the "Family Car of Texas," as awarded by TAWA, the Chrysler Pacifica and the Pacifica Hybrid reinvent the minivan segment with an unprecedented level of functionality, versatility, technology and bold styling.

The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the segment's first and only plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, offering more than 80 MPGe in electric-only mode, an electric range of more than 30 miles and a total range of more than 500 miles.

Dodge Brand
The Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody offers a combination of unique heritage appointments and improved performance with wider wheels and tires. It comes with the legendary cold-air grabbing Shaker, which extends from the engine compartment, directing cooler air back into the 392 HEMI V-8 engine. The Dodge display also will feature the 2021 Dodge Charger, recent winner of the "Performance Sedan of Texas," as well as the Durango, the reigning "SUV of Texas" as awarded by TAWA.
