LA Auto Show Nov 20-29: 24 Brands, Free Test Drives From 16, and the R2, 2028 Highlander and Telluride Hybrid to Compare

The 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show runs November 20 to 29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with 24 automotive brands and test drives and ride experiences from 16 of them, all included with admission. The participating brands are Acura, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Nissan, Porsche DTLA, Ram, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota and Volkswagen. Organizers note brands and vehicles are subject to change, so the lineup should be checked closer to opening day.

The highlights worth comparing side by side are hybrids, trucks and 3-row SUVs. They include the all-electric Rivian R2, with up to 656 horsepower, 0 to 60 mph in as quick as 3.6 seconds, an EPA-estimated 330 miles of range and dual-motor all-wheel drive with Rivian Autonomy+ hands-free driving; the all-new all-electric 2028 Toyota Highlander; the first-ever Kia Telluride Hybrid; the next-generation 2027 Chevrolet Silverado with new V8 engines; and Nissan first US e-POWER hybrid in the 2027 Rogue. The redesigned 2027 Chrysler Pacifica adds illuminated front-end styling, enhanced driver-assistance technology and available all-wheel drive, keeping Stow n Go seating for up to eight.

The redesigned 2027 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport gets a 282-horsepower turbocharged engine, available 4MOTION all-wheel drive and an available 15-inch touchscreen with AI-powered voice assistance. For shoppers, the LA show format — many rival SUVs in one hall, with drives included — is more useful than a press-release comparison: a Telluride Hybrid, a Highlander EV and a Silverado can be sat in, back to back, before any dealer visit. That is the point of going in November, while 2027 model decisions are still open.
