Canada’s largest consumer show returns after a record-breaking 2024 AutoShow with more brands, exclusive features, and new ticketing options.
371,599 – a number that is now part of the Canadian International AutoShow history books as the all-time attendance record that was set last year. Despite a variety of challenges facing the automotive industry, the AutoShow has demonstrated that not only does consumer excitement for new cars remain high, but consumers of all ages are craving experiential automotive experiences that only the AutoShow can deliver.
Manufacturers also took note of this, allowing Canada’s largest automotive expo to build upon the success of the 2023 and 2024 shows to see the return of several manufacturers. The number of presenting automakers will expand even further for 2025, with the addition of comprehensive brand displays from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. The full roster of presenting brands who are already confirmed also include, Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Toyota, Lexus, Volvo, Polestar, McLaren, Subaru, Rivian, Kia, Nissan, Infiniti, Hyundai, Genesis, and Stellantis. Shell Performance and Grand Touring Automobiles will showcase additional features.
“Being able to welcome back a number of large highly valued marques is a testament to the value of the AutoShow to both consumers and Canada’s automotive industry,” says Jason Campbell, General Manager of the AutoShow. “Consumer feedback from the previous show was very positive, but between the roster of new and returning manufacturers, consumers will have the most comprehensive offering of new product at any auto show in North America.”
As in previous years, feature displays will remain one of the key differentiators making the AutoShow Canada’s total automotive experience. Autostrada Magazine, Barrett-Jackson, and other key partners will transform Auto Exotica on the 100 level of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre into a mecca for performance enthusiasts, while Cobble Beach Classics will host a tribute to Mercedes-Benz with an eight-vehicle display showcasing the history of one of the world’s iconic auto manufacturers. Interactivity and excitement remain key with Canada’s largest Indoor EV Test Track and Camp Jeep returning, while family fun is guaranteed thanks to the AutoShow’s partnerships with LEGO and Mattel.
“Labelling the Canadian International AutoShow Canada’s total automotive experience is more than just a slogan,” says David McClean, Director of Marketing Services for the Canadian International AutoShow. “It is a guiding principle that highlights our commitment to reaching every demographic through a diverse set of displays and experiences which ultimately drive consumer interest in the new car buying experience through total immersion.”
The 2025 Canadian International AutoShow, presented by Toronto Star, returns to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from February 14th to the 23rd. This year’s theme “Total Immersion” highlights the AutoShow’s unique position during a time of change in the automotive industry. Consumer choice has never been as vast and diverse as today. The AutoShow is the place for brands to showcase their newest products and technologies, allowing the opportunity to educate consumers about their brand.
