The Canadian International AutoShow is back at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre this month, marking another showcase of automotive trends, new models and interactive experiences for consumers and industry alike.
From Feb. 13 to 22, 2026, the annual exhibition features hundreds of vehicles from global brands, concept reveals, performance and luxury displays, and a wide range of ride-and-drive opportunities. The show, presented by The Toronto Star, remains the largest automotive consumer event in Canada with more than 650,000 sq. ft. of exhibits and attractions under one roof.
For collision repair professionals, insurers and technicians, the AutoShow offers a front-row view of where vehicle design and advanced technology are headed. Manufacturers use the platform to debut new models and electrified platforms that will soon be part of workshop pipelines, while diversification in materials and ADAS continues to shape repair and calibration considerations.
Last year’s edition drew more than 320,000 visitors over 10 days, despite early weather challenges, and featured 26 all-new vehicle debuts from 16 brands. Highlights included the Canadian unveiling of the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, the BMW M5 Touring, new Audi e-tron family vehicles, and the GMC Sierra EV Denali. The event also showcased a range of luxury, exotic and performance cars that brought crowds to marque displays.
Beyond static displays, the AutoShow continues to evolve its hands-on offerings. Canada’s largest indoor electric vehicle test track returned with more than 20 EVs from major brands, while outdoor test drives gave consumers and media a chance to experience hybrid and battery EVs in real-world conditions.
Family-friendly attractions such as life-size LEGO builds, Hot Wheels exhibits and interactive fan zones remain staples. These elements broaden the appeal beyond traditional enthusiast audiences and underline the event’s role as a cultural as well as automotive gathering.
Tickets are available online and at the venue, and professionals planning visits are advised to explore media registration options for extended access and interviews.
