For more than a century, the Los Angeles Auto Show has drawn car lovers, families, tech fans, and gearheads to the heart of Downtown L.A. to see what’s next on wheels. This fall, the tradition rolls on—with a few major upgrades.
Tickets are now on sale for the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show, running from November 21 to 30 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. And while the iconic event continues to showcase the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs from the world’s top automakers, this year’s edition promises more than just a stroll through rows of shiny metal.
Think hands-on experiences, bold new exhibits, off-road test tracks, and a growing fusion of technology and car culture that continues to set L.A. apart.
“We’ve worked hard to make the 2025 show more accessible, more exciting, and more inclusive than ever,” said Terri Toennies, president of the Los Angeles Auto Show. “Whether you’re shopping for your next car, bringing the family for a day out, or exploring where car culture is headed, this is the one place where all of that comes together.”
Something for Every Driver
Inside the sprawling halls of the Convention Center, attendees will find hundreds of new models—from gas-powered favorites to the latest electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and concept cars—ready for in-person exploration. But the LA Auto Show goes beyond a showroom floor. It’s a rare chance to see, touch, and drive the newest vehicles in a low-pressure, high-engagement setting.
Returning fan-favorites like the Camp Jeep obstacle course and Ford’s Bronco Built Wild off-road adventure are joined by new and expanded test tracks, both indoors and out, giving drivers a chance to truly get behind the wheel or ride along with a pro.
One of the major highlights: the Clean Power Alliance Test Track, designed specifically for EVs and hybrids, offering hands-on comparisons for drivers interested in making the switch to electric.
New Features, Fresh Energy
This year’s show is doubling down on its connection to culture, creativity, and community with a slate of brand-new features:
- Creator Studio: A first-of-its-kind platform showcasing car storytelling, digital content, and collaborations with automotive influencers and creators.
- The Underground: A reimagined space celebrating grassroots car communities, custom builds, and the people behind Southern California’s iconic tuning and lowrider scenes.
- Showcase Hall: Back by popular demand, this vibrant gallery features exotics, muscle cars, retrofits, lowriders, and more.

- OVRland Outpost: A dedicated zone for adventure seekers, highlighting the exploding overland and camping vehicle scene in collaboration with OVR Magazine.

Behind the Scenes: AutoMobility LA
The public show follows AutoMobility LA, the event’s press and industry preview on November 20, where major automakers and tech companies will unveil new vehicles, concept models, and innovations. It’s a key date in the global automotive calendar and gives a first look at what’s coming down the road.
AutoMobility also includes a lineup of panel discussions and presentations from leading voices in mobility, sustainability, and automotive design.
A Century of Innovation
First held in 1907, the LA Auto Show is not only one of the oldest car shows in the world, but also one of the most influential. With more than a century of showcasing automotive innovation, the event continues to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually and generates millions in economic impact for Los Angeles.
As EVs and advanced tech continue to reshape the industry, organizers say the LA Auto Show offers a much-needed human connection—between driver and machine, community and culture.
“Cars are more than transportation here,” Toennies said. “They’re identity, lifestyle, history. This show reflects that in every way.”
