Test Drives & Rides

Find Your Drive behind the wheel. Guests can test drive 2027 models on indoor and outdoor courses, or buckle in for a ride-along. Feel a performance car launch, try the newest EVs back to back, take an SUV over the off-road course, or let the kids help pick the family’s next car from the back seat. Every test drive and ride-along is included with your ticket, so the best value at the show is also the most fun.

2026 VEHICLE LIST COMING SOON.

LADWP Test Track

Outside South Hall

LADWP Test Track is where you can take an EV or hybrid for a spin on the outdoor route that wraps around South Hall. Drive the 2027 electrified and hybrid lineup back to back and find out what your future car feels like on real pavement, before you ever set foot in a dealership.

SUV & Truck Adventure Rides

Main Halls

Ride shotgun with a professional driver and see what a Bronco and a Jeep can climb. Ford Bronco Built Wild starts inside the convention center and heads outdoors, taking you from the show floor to the off-road course in a single ride. At the Camp Jeep Adventure Course, hang on as your driver takes on obstacles built to show what a Jeep can handle..

Street Test Drives

Gilbert Lindsay Plaza

Take your potential next car onto the streets of Downtown LA. Real city driving will tell you more than any spec sheet, and you can drive several brands in one afternoon instead of spending a weekend at dealerships. Grab the wheel and take a drive with the car that you’ve been eyeing!

Indoor Test Rides

South Hall

Check out Nissan’s lineup on the show floor, then ride in it a few steps away on an indoor course in South Hall. It’s the fastest way to go from “that one looks good” to knowing how it rides.

Brands and models subject to change
