LOS ANGELES (November 18, 2025) – This year’s Los Angeles Auto Show® will feature more than 50 vehicles available to drive or ride, giving guests that rare opportunity to experience and compare models across categories, powertrains, and performance types—all in one place.
Running from November 21–30 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the show offers one of the most extensive hands-on driving experiences of any auto event in the country. From rugged off-roaders and cutting-edge EVs to luxury sedans and high-performance vehicles, the test drive lineup reflects the full spectrum of today’s automotive landscape. Test drives are included with admission and remain one of the most popular and accessible features of the show.
Whether show-goers are checking out new brands, comparing performance and comfort, or getting their first immersive experience with electric vehicles, LA Auto Show will deliver one-stop comparison shopping, expert guidance and multiple driving routes, all in a no-pressure, hassle free atmosphere.
“There’s nothing like feeling a new vehicle come alive beneath you for the first time,” said Terri Toennies, president of the Los Angeles Auto Show. “At LA Auto Show, visitors don’t just see the newest vehicles, they get to drive them, compare, and discover what makes one the right choice for them.”
