The Chicago Auto Show is back to its full size for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, vehicles full both the North and South Halls at McCormick Place with displays from nearly all the major players in the game including Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan, Kia, Jeep and Hyundai.
Though there are less debuts at the event this year, a number of new models stand out, including some vehicles that are among the most popular in America. Other models on display come from global retailers poised to make the jump to dealership sales in the United States.
The Chicago Auto Show is open to the public February 11-20, 2023. All the models listed below can be found on the show floor.

The next-generation Subaru Crosstrek amplifies what current Subie owners already love about their models, giving buyers two engine options, a host of modern technology (including the heralded EyeSight safety system) and looks that help it better match with Forester, Solterra and Outback.
