TORONTO, ON. — The 2025 Canadian International AutoShow offered up the largest selection of test drive vehicles yet. Throughout its 10-day run, Show attendees were able to get behind the wheel of 50 vehicles representing 24 different brands. Canada’s largest consumer show spanned over 650,000 sq. ft. and welcomed 323,521 visitors.
In addition to the option of driving a vehicle on Canada’s largest indoor EV test track or experiencing outdoor test drives, attendees were also able to ride along with a professional driver on the Camp Jeep® course. Each of the five obstacles were designed to showcase the exceptional off-road capabilities of the Jeep product range.
Jeep brand revealed that it provided over 30,000 test rides during the Show. The indoor EV test track facilitated 5,706 test drives, while 9,352 people took advantage of the outdoor test drives.
“This year’s Show offered unparalleled access for attendees to test drive and compare a diverse offering of the newest cars, trucks, and SUVs on the market,” says Jason Campbell, General Manager of the Canadian International AutoShow. “Consumers came away from the show with a deeper knowledge of EVs, hybrids, and ICE vehicles, allowing them to make more informed purchase decisions.”
Complementing exhibits that featured exotic and classic cars, North American debuts, concept reveals, and interactive activations, show-goers were able to not only see but also experience vehicles firsthand. For the third consecutive year, the Canadian International AutoShow teamed up with Plug’n Drive to offer attendees electric vehicle education and test drive experiences. Attendees were given the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the latest electric vehicles from a variety of manufacturers, allowing them to experience multiple models without even leaving the show floor.
Test driving a vehicle at the AutoShow gave visitors a chance to experience a wide selection of vehicles first-hand in a sales-free, no-pressure environment. Outdoor test drives were also available for those who wanted to try out an EV, PHEV or ICE vehicle under real-world conditions.
