More than 40 new models representing all four quadrants, including Europe, Japan, Korea and the Americas will be on display for what will be a first of its kind in the show’s 109-year history

The 2024 LA Auto Show offers unmatched opportunities for car buyers to weigh their purchase options. Residents of and visitors to Los Angeles can make best use of drive-ups and test spins Friday, November 22-Sunday, December 1 as some 40 mind-blowing new cars, SUVs, crossover, and trucks become available for the world’s largest car market to check out.

It is going to be the first time for visitors to drive gassers, hybrids, and electric vehicles and, therefore, it’s going to give enthusiasts as well as potential buyers an opportunity to compare driving experiences of all brands. For this year, the show will also offer a “city drive” experience comprising a range of models from the following list:

  • Volvo: C40, XC40 Recharge, XC60, XC90 Hybrid
  • Subaru: Solterra, Ascent, Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Crosstrek
  • Jeep: Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer
  • RAM: 2500, 1500
  • Dodge: Hornet, Durango
  • Fiat: 500e
  • Chrysler: Pacifica

Visitors can visit the “Electric Avenue” hosted by Ampure to drive around on a test track about a mile long that is actually around the Los Angeles Convention Center. There, you can feel the thrums of various EVs – such as:

  • Cadillac: Lyriq
  • Rivian: R1T, R1S
  • Chevrolet: Silverado, Blazer, Equinox
  • VinFast: VF8
  • Kia: EV9 GT-Line, EV6 GT, EV6 GT-Line
  • Lucid: Air

There will also be EV test tracks, innovative, fully indoor ones, behind the exhibits of Hyundai, Volkswagen, and Nissan. It includes:

  • VW EV Track Experience: ID. Buzz
  • Nissan EV Track Experience: ARIYA
  • Hyundai EV Track: IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and KONA Electric


The South and West Halls of the LA Convention Center will host this event, where attendees will also have the opportunity to test off-road capabilities in vehicles like the Ford Bronco and various Jeep models, including a special Camp Jeep exhibit designed for an engaging experience.

According to Terri Toennies, president and COO of the LA Auto Show, California is the “Car Capital of the World” and thus should provide an opportunity for new car shoppers to experience the greatest range of models possible, since “with our rich and diverse array of ride-and-drive experiences,” it would be impossible to pass this up.

The LA Auto Show will be open to the public from November 22 to December 1, 2024. Stay up to date with the latest news by following LA Auto Show on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X, or sign up for alerts at laautoshow.com.
