The Los Angeles Auto Show grows and gains in popularity every year, which means more auto manufacturers bring cooler cars and concepts to show off. Here are four of the most interesting cars at this year's show.

Jaguar I-Pace

Jaguar I-Pace


This is Jaguar's first all-electric vehicle, but they did not skimp on performance in the name of efficiency. There are two 200-hp motors, one front and one rear, giving the concept an estimated 0-60 mph time under 4 seconds. It's got a projected range of 220 miles and a fast recharge time of 90 minutes, which is a tad long. Hopefully that will be improved by the time the production car is ready in 2018.

If you think the winged doors on the Tesla Model X are cool, check out the massive top-hinged doors on the Lincoln Navigator concept. The full-size SUV also has fold-away stairs to make entry and exit easier and seats that adjust 30 ways. And in the rear, there's a "custom wardrobe management system" that has compartments for clothing and accessories. Lincoln says 90% of what you see here will make it to the street version in 2018.

2017 Nissan Rogue Star Wars Edition

2017 Nissan Rogue Star Wars Edition

For sheer geekiness, it was hard to beat the introduction of this special-edition 2017 Nissan Rogue. There were explosions and lasers, and a huge fan-built TIE figher replica at the display's entrance. The Rogue is the first vehicle to carry Star Wars badging, and it comes with the only authorized replica of a Death Trooper helmet.
