LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Los Angeles Auto Show®, presented by Chevron with Techron®, returns on Nov. 20–29, 2026 with nearly two dozen automotive brands and one of the broadest opportunities of the year for consumers to experience the rapidly changing new-vehicle market in one place.

From affordable new vehicles across powertrains and surging consumer interest in hybrids to a resurgence in gas-powered options and an ever-evolving electric landscape, this year's show brings together the choices shaping what Americans are buying now and what is arriving next. Consumers can sit, touch and compare vehicles from competing manufacturers side-by-side, speak directly with brand representatives without sales pressure and get behind the wheel through multiple test-drive and ride experiences, all included with admission.

The 2026 automotive lineup features vehicle showcases representing Acura, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Nissan, Porsche DTLA, Ram, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota and Volkswagen. 

"There has rarely been a more interesting time to shop for a new vehicle," said Terri Toennies, President of Los Angeles Auto Show. "Consumers are weighing powertrain, technology, capability and price more than ever before. The LA Auto Show offers what online research and single dealerships can't: the chance to compare brands side-by-side and find the right fit."

DRIVE BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Outdoor street drives will once again give attendees the opportunity to take participating vehicles onto the streets of downtown Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the LADWP Test Track outside the Los Angeles Convention Center's South Hall will focus on electric and hybrid vehicles from multiple manufacturers, allowing consumers the opportunity to experience competing electrified powertrains back-to-back.

Inside and around the Convention Center, capability-focused ride experiences include Ford Bronco Built Wild and the Camp Jeep Adventure Course, while Nissan will offer an indoor ride experience in South Hall.

Every drive and ride is included with admission, giving consumers the chance to go from viewing a vehicle to experiencing how it performs on the road or over a purpose-built course.

ONE PLACE TO COMPARE WHAT'S NEXT

For consumers actively shopping for their next vehicle, the scale of the Los Angeles Auto Show creates a comparison-shopping environment difficult to replicate anywhere else. The surge in hybrid demand only expanded those choices, making side-by-side powertrain comparisons increasingly valuable.

Guests can move directly from a truck to a three-row family SUV, compare gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, explore models across vastly different price points, experience new technology and talk with product specialists representing competing brands, all without the pressure of a traditional sales environment.

For enthusiasts and families, the experience extends beyond shopping, featuring custom and classic vehicles, cutting-edge technology, Southern California car culture, interactive experiences, kid-friendly activities and nearly one million square feet to explore.

The 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show runs Nov. 20–29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. AutoMobility LA®, the show's global media and industry day, takes place November 19. Public day tickets for the 10-day consumer show are on sale at LAAutoShow.com
