LA Auto Show 2026 Preview: 24 Brands, the Rivian R2, an Electric Highlander, and a 1,139-Horsepower Porsche

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. Participating brands include 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. AutoMobility LA, the media and industry day, takes place November 19.

The headliners span every powertrain. The all-electric Rivian R2 offers 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. The all-new 2028 Toyota Highlander seats seven with an all-electric powertrain offering up to 315 miles of range, front- or all-wheel drive, and bidirectional backup power. Kia's first-ever turbocharged hybrid Telluride makes 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, with up to an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined and a 637-mile range. The next-generation 2027 Chevrolet Silverado gets new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 engines, and Nissan's first US e-POWER hybrid arrives in the 2027 Rogue, estimated at up to 41 mpg city.

The extremes are covered too: the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric is Porsche's most powerful production vehicle ever at up to 1,139 horsepower, with 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds and up to 317 miles of range, while Genesis shows its first full-size electric flagship SUV, the GV90. One debut to watch for a different reason: Beijing-based FullGood Motor exhibits in the US for the first time, showing its retro-styled Summer 7-seat plug-in hybrid people mover at AutoMobility LA on November 19 to seek US-based investment, assembly, and distribution partners. Its American availability will depend entirely on the partnerships it finds in Los Angeles.
