    Here are the coolest cars at New York International Auto Show 2025
    This year marks the 125th anniversary of the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), and despite concerns over tariffs, there are still a lot of manufacturers here showing off new models including a handful of US and global debuts. So without further ado, here are some of the most intriguing cars on display at the 2025 NYIAS. If you are in the area and want to see some of these for yourself, the event is open to the public from April 18 to April 27 and held at the Javits Center. Tickets cost $22 per adult and $8 for children aged 3 to 12. The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker First up on the docket is Subaru, which is here today with an early look at its second-ever EV: the Trailseeker. Now I admit that the followup to the Solterra might not be the most exciting announcement, as this model will once again be based the e-TNGA platform, which is shared with Toyota's bZ4x. That said, while the Trailseeker doesn't have the most impressive range (around 260 miles), its updated styling, larger body and improved off-roading capabilities feel more suited to an outdoor lifestyle. Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget The 2026 Kia EV4 Kia has been on a roll when it comes to EVs thanks to existing cars like the EV6 and EV9. At the 2025 NYIAS, the company is looking to keep that momentum rolling with the US debut of the EV4, which incorporates many of the headline features from its previous battery-powered offerings, but with an even more affordable expected starting price of between $35,000 and $40,000. It also features Kia's improved i-PEDAL 3.0 regenerative braking tech which now works even in reverse. Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Kia EV9 Nightfall edition Speaking of the EV9, while there aren't a ton of updates for 2025, Kia did roll out a new Nightfall edition for its flagship electric SUV. It features blacked-out accents throughout the vehicle including dark wheels, trim and badging. That color scheme even continues inside the vehicle with exclusive all-black upholstery. And when you consider that this remains one of the most affordable three-row electric cars, I think this is a pretty nice way to freshen up the look of the EV9. Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Genesis X Gran Equator concept Billed as a luxury overlander, the Genesis X Gran Equator concept is easily one of the most striking cars at the 2025 New York Auto Show. It features an extremely long hood and LED light strips that wrap all the way around to the side of the vehicle along with matching tail lights in back. Inside, while it has fancy diamond-stitched upholstery, there are also dedicated holders for resuable waterbottles, which hint at its role as a potential camping vehicle. And while Genesis has not said what kind of powertrain it will have if the X Gran Equator reaches official production, the lack of a distinct grille up front means there's hope it will be an EV. Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Lucid Gravity While the Gravity was officially announced late last year, it's largely only been available for purchase by friends and family of the company up until now, which has made it a relatively rare site both at trade shows and on the road. But the at NYIAS, it was on display in all of its three-row electric glory. Not only is the Gravity the fastest charging EV outside of China capable of sucking down up to 400 kW, it also boasts a top range of up to 450 miles. Plus, thanks its ability to add 200 miles of range in less than 11 minutes, it pretty much upends the belief that EVs aren't good for longer road trips. And while it's a niche feature, Lucid even created a special cushion that goes in its frunk that instantly converts it into a cozy little love seat. It's the kind of thing that makes me wish drive-in movie theaters weren't so hard to find nowadays.  Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA spec The TA in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA spec's name stands for time attack. And last year, it did just that when it set the record at Pike's Peak for the electric modified SUV/crossover class with a time of 9 minutes and 32 seconds. But what might be the most impressive thing about the car is that despite some obvious changes to its body (just look at the size of that rear wing), Hyundai says the TA was also built to showcase the strength of the regualar Ioniq 5 N's power electric system. So instead of swapping in some one-off motors, this car has the same basic setup as the standard model (601 hp) with a small boost in output of just 37 horsepower.  Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Maserati GT2 Stradale Even though we here at Engadget prefer EVs, we'd be remiss not to mention at least one gas-powered car at the New York Auto Show. Announced back in February, the Maserati GT2 Stradale is basically a road-legal version of the GT2 race car, which itself is based on the truly outrageous MC20 supercar. And as you'd expect, it has some pretty impressive specs with a blistering 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds despite it only having rear-wheel drive. It also features a carbon monocoque design just like its track-focused sibling and if you want, you can order one with semi-slick racing tires. So if you've ever had dreams of driving a race car on the street, this might be your ride. That said, Maserati hasn't announced official pricing for the GT2 Stradale. But as the saying goes, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.  Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget 1924 Chrysler 6 prototype Finally, capping off this list is the Chrysler 6 prototype which made its debut way back at the 1924 New York Auto Show. Granted, this thing is ancient, but at the time it was state-of-the-art boasting the industry's first four-wheel hydraulic brakes along with a six-cylinder engine that produced a whopping 68 horsepower. When it eventually hit the market later that year, the Chrysler 6 cost $1,565. After factoring for inflation, that translates to a sticker price around $29,000, which actually doesn't seem too bad.  Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Sam Rutherford for Engadget Update, April 17 2025, 1:11PM ET: This story has been updated to add information to the intro on public admission days and ticket prices.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/here-are-the-coolest-cars-at-new-york-international-auto-show-2025-144832024.html?src=rss

    The future of leadership starts in the home 
    The Fast Company Impact Council is an invitation-only membership community of leaders, experts, executives, and entrepreneurs who share their insights with our audience. Members pay annual dues for access to peer learning, thought leadership opportunities, events and more. Leadership transformation isn’t found in boardrooms—it’s happening in our homes. In a world facing converging crises of climate, technology, and social displacement, how we create our spaces reveals everything about how we’ll lead through these transformative times.  Integrity derives from the Latin word “integer”—meaning whole, complete, undivided. This word describes both ethical leadership and structural soundness. A home lacks integrity when its foundation cracks or its systems fail to work as a unified whole. Similarly, leadership without integrity fragments under pressure, creates waste through misalignment, and fails to shelter those who depend on it.  The decisions that shape our homes—from material sourcing to energy systems to spatial design—are fundamentally ethical choices. They reveal whether we truly understand our relationship to resources, community, and future generations.  This connection between home and leadership becomes clearest when we contrast two fundamentally different approaches:  The extractive mindset designs homes that deplete resources, prioritize appearance over performance, and externalize their true costs to communities and ecosystems.  The regenerative mindset creates living spaces that work in harmony with natural systems, optimize for both human and planetary health, and regenerate the communities they exist within.  The mindset we adopt when designing our homes reveals our relationship with material resources, directly reflecting our capacity to lead with integrity. The same patterns of thinking that have contributed to environmentally wasteful building practices in the past inevitably also surface in organizational decision making. The good news is that embracing regenerative practices creates a virtuous cycle—transforming our homes, reshaping our mindsets, and ultimately enhancing our leadership abilities.  Beyond four walls  Visionary leaders recognize that their organizations, like homes, exist within living systems. Just as a sustainable home requires understanding energy flows, material lifecycles, and community impacts, effective leadership requires seeing beyond isolated metrics to the health of entire ecosystems—organizational, financial, social, and ecological.  These systems transform leadership in four critical dimensions:  Holistic integration: The alignment of systems, values, and resources to create a unified whole greater than the sum of its parts. In homes, this means designing spaces where energy, water, materials, and human needs work in harmony. In leadership, it means cultivating organizations where purpose, people, profit, and planetary impact reinforce rather than undermine each other.   Regenerative stewardship: Moving beyond sustainability to actively restore and enhance the systems that support life. In homes, this means creating spaces that give more than they take. In leadership, it means building organizations that actively heal social divides, regenerate depleted resources, and leave ecosystems healthier.   Honest materiality: Embracing the true nature, origins, and impacts of what we build with. In homes, this means selecting materials for their authentic properties rather than superficial aesthetics. In leadership, it means fostering transparency about how value is created, and impacts are managed throughout the entire organizational ecosystem.   Adaptive co-evolution: Designing for a dynamic relationship with changing environments rather than rigid control. In homes, this means creating spaces that respond to seasonal shifts, climate extremes, and evolving family needs. In leadership, it means developing organizations capable of thriving amid uncertainty—sensing, responding to, and shaping emerging futures.   As technological acceleration and climate impacts intensify, transformative leaders mirror sustainable builders: envisioning regenerative systems, pioneering new methods, and understanding the interconnectedness of people and planet.  The next generation of breakthrough leaders won’t just manage extraction more efficiently—they’ll architect regeneration more intelligently. And like all great architects, they’ll understand that integrity isn’t just a virtue—it’s structural necessity.  The whole puzzle  Traditional leadership focuses on optimizing fragments: profit centers, performance metrics, quarterly returns. This fragmentation is like building a house by perfecting individual rooms without ensuring they work together—a strategy that inevitably creates dysfunction at both local and planetary scales.  The integrity-driven approach sees the whole puzzle—understanding that a home, like an organization, exists within Earth’s living systems. When our homes and businesses operate with fragmented thinking, the collective impact accelerates climate destabilization. When we design with integrity, we create regenerative ripples beyond our immediate sphere.  This planetary perspective transforms leadership from an exercise in optimization to an act of stewardship. It requires alignment between systems, purpose, and impact across scales—from the individual home to the global commons we all share.  The future of leadership starts in the home because our profound transformations begin with reconsidering what we’ve taken for granted. By examining the integrity of our fundamental structures—our living spaces—we reveal the blueprint for leading organizations capable of thriving amid complexity while contributing to a flourishing world.  The leadership our future demands builds on the same foundation as sustainable homes: the recognition that integrity—both structural and moral—isn’t optional. It’s essential for creating systems that withstand time, resource constraints, and accelerating change.  Gene Eidelman is cofounder of Azure Homes. Rachel Weissman is founder of Congruence.

    This Stylish Tiny House With Two Lofts Feels Surprisingly Spacious & Airy
    Most tiny homes of just seven meters long (23.6 feet) and 2.5 meters wide (8.2 feet) feel cramped, but the Avanti SE is blessed with spaciousness. Its dual-loft design increases both accommodation and openness while keeping a compact footprint. With strategically placed windows throughout, every main living space enjoys abundant natural light and airiness. The Avanti SE can sleep up to three people in a two-bedroom layout, ideal for small families or as an Airbnb. The larger bedroom, accessed by a built-in staircase, features a double bed, two side windows, a large skylight, and extra storage space. Designer: Kookaburra Tiny Homes The second loft in the Avanti SE is tailored to fit a single bed and, while it offers less storage than the main bedroom, it makes up for it with its impressive brightness, thanks to expansive windows that frame beautiful views. This loft is located above the entrance and accessed by a simple, movable ladder—perfect for occasional use as a guest room, a child’s bedroom, or even as a sunlit, elevated lounge for quiet relaxation or reading. Among Kookaburra Tiny Homes’ three Avanti models, the SE is the most sophisticated with an elegant dual-loft design, Scandinavian-inspired white-and-natural wood interiors, and stylish ceiling beams that highlight the home’s geometry. Even the timber railings echo these geometric lines, contributing to a visually balanced, contemporary atmosphere that feels both welcoming and refined. The elegant design of the partial safety railings enhances the home’s overall brightness. With unobstructed sightlines between the lofts and clear views from each room to the main living area below, the interior feels spacious, open, and seamlessly connected. On the ground floor, the lounge is bathed in natural light from a large rear window, while the glass entrance door adds to the home’s airy atmosphere. The kitchen is equally inviting, featuring expansive sliding windows that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Thoughtfully sized for a dual-loft tiny home, the kitchen includes a stylish countertop with a breakfast bar and built-in shelves along its edge, serving the hallway and entrance. There’s space for full-size appliances, though most storage is cleverly integrated beyond traditional cabinetry. In the Avanti SE, most storage is cleverly built into the staircase, which includes a fridge tower and shelves for smaller appliances, while the kitchen features only a few drawers and cabinets. This design helps maintain the home’s bright, open feel by avoiding bulky storage that could block the light or views. Golden fixtures add a touch of elegance to the minimalist kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a full-size shower, a sliding glass door, a small vanity, and a large window for natural light. Pricing starts at USD$ 72,450 with optional off-grid packages available.

    Wikipedia picture of the day for April 19
    The African hawk-eagle (Aquila spilogaster) is a large bird of prey. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. The species's feathered legs mark it as a member of the subfamily Aquilinae. The African hawk-eagle breeds in tropical sub-Saharan Africa. It is a bird of assorted woodland, including both savanna and hilly areas, but they tend to occur in typically dry woodland. The species tends to be rare in areas where their preferred habitat type is absent. The African hawk-eagle is powerfully built and hunts small to medium-sized mammals and birds predominantly, occasionally taking reptiles and other prey as well. This African hawk-eagle perching on a branch was photographed in Damaraland, Namibia. Photograph credit: Charles J.
