The Vancouver International Auto Show will return to the Vancouver Convention Centre March 25–29, with organizers promising one of the largest editions of the event in its history.
The 2026 show has already sold out all 300,000 square feet of exhibitor space, with more than 30 automotive brands and dealer groups expected to showcase over 200 vehicles, according to organizers.
“This is a milestone year for the Vancouver International Auto Show,” said Eric Nicholl, Executive Director of the Vancouver International Auto Show, in a statement. “From sold-out exhibitor space to the return of major global brands and an unprecedented lineup of first-ever and Canadian debuts, the show reflects the renewed confidence and excitement surrounding the automotive industry.”
The show will expand across the convention centre’s exhibition halls, select Level 1 displays and an outdoor exhibit area at Jack Poole Plaza, creating one of the largest layouts the event has hosted.
Several high-profile displays are planned. Audi will present its Formula 1 display car in Western Canada for the first time, while Cadillac’s Formula 1 display car will make its Canadian debut as the brand prepares for its entry into the global racing series.
The event will also feature the Canadian debut of the Oilstainlab HF-11 hypercar, including an exposed vehicle shell designed to highlight the engineering behind the vehicle. Meanwhile, Chevrolet will showcase the Corvette CX Concept, an electrified hypercar concept developed with input from GM Motorsports’ aerodynamics team.
Clean-energy vehicles will remain a major focus. The show’s EV and PHEV test-drive program, supported by CleanBC Go Electric and RBC, will return with up to 50 vehicles available for public test drives.
Other returning attractions include Supercar Eleganza, Horsepower Heaven and Elite Dream Machines, which highlight rare vehicles, hypercars and custom builds.
