Follow-Up: 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show Opens November 20 With 24 Brands, Led by the Rivian R2 and Kia Telluride Hybrid
The 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show opens to the public from Friday, November 20 through November 29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 S Figueroa St) in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. The organizer has now released the full lineup: 24 automotive brands, led by the all-electric Rivian R2 and Kia's first-ever Telluride Hybrid, with test drives and off-road rides all included with admission. GSM reported the show's dates and ticketing in October; this follow-up pulls together everything announced since, ahead of opening day.
Start with the two headline vehicles. The Rivian R2 is Rivian's electric SUV aimed at a wider audience, with up to 656 horsepower, a 0-to-60 mph time as quick as 3.6 seconds, an EPA-estimated 330 miles of range and dual-motor all-wheel drive. The Kia Telluride Hybrid gives the three-row SUV its first turbocharged hybrid powertrain, with 329 horsepower, up to an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined and a 637-mile driving range. The show floor spans more than 870,000 square feet; founded in 1907, the Los Angeles Auto Show marks its 119th edition this year.
Test drives are a centerpiece this year, and every one of them is included with admission, with registration on site on a first-come basis. Visitors can take cars onto downtown streets from Gilbert Lindsay Plaza, with the Rivian R2 and the Kia Telluride, including the hybrid, on the test-drive list. Outside South Hall, the LADWP Test Track focuses on electric and hybrid models from brands including Lucid, Tesla and Volkswagen. Indoors, the Ford Bronco Built Wild Experience and the Camp Jeep obstacle course put passengers through professionally driven off-road demonstrations, and Nissan's Rogue Hybrid, making its auto show debut, runs an indoor ride course in South Hall. A kid-sized Jeep and Ram course lets younger visitors take a turn as well.
The other half of the show is Los Angeles car culture itself. The Underground is devoted to lowrider culture, where East Los Angeles artist Jacqueline Valenzuela is curating a display of six custom lowriders, and comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias is showing Volkswagen Type 2 buses from his personal collection. For classic cars, the Road Kings of Burbank roll into the show for the first time, celebrating the club's 75th anniversary with more than 20 classic cars, hot rods and muscle cars in Concourse Hall.
Tickets, per the organizer's current pricing: Any Day admission is $25 for adults and $13 for seniors and children ages 6 to 12, with children under 6 free. Opening Day, November 20, is $20 for adults. Weekday admission, Monday through Thursday, November 23 to 26, is $22 for adults, and a $66 Family Four Pack is offered on the Wednesday and Thursday of Thanksgiving week. The show is cashless, and tickets are sold online through the show's website.
The day before public opening, Thursday, November 19, is AutoMobility LA, the show's media and industry day, when manufacturer debuts and the industry program are concentrated. GSM is a registered media outlet for the 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show and will report from media day on November 19.
