TORONTO, ON. — Covering over 650,000 sq. ft. of floor space, the Canadian International AutoShow showcases more manufacturers than any other show in North America. Canada’s largest consumer show features never-before-seen concepts and limited-edition exotics. It’s the only show in North America where visitors can see manufacturer-supported exhibits from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
Making a triumphant return to the AutoShow, Audi Haus has transformed the convention centre space, creating an immersive experience for visitors that is reminiscent of a museum. Featuring a magnificent, limited edition R8 GT heritage car, there are also five all-new models on display that provide visitors with a glimpse into Audi’s bright future – including the Audi R6 Avant GT, a limited-edition model with only seven units coming to Canada.
For the first time, a manufacturer is taking over Level 600 of the South Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. BMW is presenting an expansive and immersive M-themed display. The brand showcases an impressive lineup of vehicles, including the all-new, Canadian-favourite X3 M50, the M4 CS and the all-new M5 Touring, which is making its Canadian debut. Visitors can also get a picture taken with the BMW M Hybrid V8 racecar that competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans and IMSA.
The main focal point of the grandiose Mercedes-Benz display features the Canadian premiere of the G 580 with EQ Technology, which sits atop an eye-catching 11.5-foot-high mountain-scape. Renowned for its legendary off-road capability, the first fully-electric variant of the iconic Geländewagen (G-Wagen) can climb up to a 100 percent grade (45 degrees) on suitable surfaces.
Offering the most expansive test drive program in the country, Canada’s largest indoor EV Test Track and outdoor test drive routes provide opportunities to get behind the wheel of over 50 vehicles, including 45 different models from 24 different brands – many of those worth $100,000.00 CAD or more. Some highlights include the all-new Cadillac Escalade IQ, Dodge Charger Daytona, Mercedes-Benz EQE, Audi Q6 e-tron and more.
Engaging and Interactive
Camp Jeep returns for its third year due to high demand. The thrilling off-road course takes passengers through five challenging obstacles that demonstrate the incredible Trail Rated capabilities of the Jeep Wrangler inside the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
The Red Bull Toronto Fan Zone is full of interactive features such as a Pit Stop Challenge and racing simulators, as well as a Red Bull Formula 1 show car. A one-of-a-kind life-size LEGO McLaren P1 is also making its North American debut. The car was driven around the iconic Silverstone racetrack by Formula 1 driver Lando Norris. Inside the Performance Pavillion, race fans and automotive enthusiasts can see custom hot rods, racecars and top-fuel dragsters on display for the first time.
Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Big Foot, the iconic Monster Truck is on display at the Show for the first time. Visitors love taking their picture beside the real Monster Truck tire. Two other life-size Hot Wheels replicas from the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends are at the show – the Star Wars X-Wing Fighter™ Carship and the Ford SEMA Mustang GT. Barbie is represented in the form of a bright pink Maserati.
Cobble Beach Classics – Tribute to Mercedes-Benz
Celebrating one of the most iconic automakers in the world, the Cobble Beach Classics display features historic models from the brand’s storied lineage – from a replica of the 1886 Benz Patent MotorWagen (the very first automobile!), to a 1960 300 SL, to the record-breaking 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series.
Classic and Exotic Cars
For the first time in over a decade, Ferrari is showcasing brand new vehicles at the AutoShow. Maserati has also returned to the Show with an exciting three-vehicle display, including the Grecale Modena SUV, GranTurismo Trofeo grand touring coupe, and the spectacular MC20 Cielo super sports car.
Always a fan-favourite at the Show, the Autostrada display features a stunning collection of exotics that are rarely seen anywhere else, including such icons as the Ferrari F40 and the Porsche Carrera GT, as well as the most expensive car at the 2025 AutoShow: a Pagani Huayra R. The only model of its kind in Canada, its estimated price tag is $7,000,000.00 CAD. Known for attracting an incredible pedigree of vehicles at their world-renowned auctions, the Barret-Jackson display showcases resto mods and iconic American classics.
Grand Touring Automobiles takes the prize for the most expensive display at the AutoShow, featuring an incredible array of limited-edition supercars and ultra luxury vehicles. The lineup includes the V12 Aston Martin Vanquish, 1,001 hp Lamborghini Revuelto, Bentley Continental GTC Speed Convertible, and the 300+ km/h Lamborghini Urus SE SUV. With almost 1,500 hp, the Bugatti Pur Sport on display is one of only 60 in the world. Among the rarest and fastest production vehicles in the world, the display also features the 1,900 hp Pininfarina Battista Edizione Nino Farina which is capable of rocketing from zero to 100 km/h in 1.8 seconds.
Shown for the first time in Canada, the Cadillac CELESTIQ & SOLLEI concept vehicles are making their auto show debut in a special display.
If you missed the excitement of Media Day, there’s still time to experience it all firsthand. Approved media accreditation grants access to the AutoShow throughout the public days until February 23.
