The Press Release:
The New York International Auto Show opens in April with a refreshed, experience-first approach that invites visitors to do more than simply walk the show floor. Running April 3–12, 2026 at Manhattan’s Javits Convention Center, the 2026 event brings together the cars, culture and interactive attractions that have made the Show a New York tradition for more than 125 years.
Filling more than 850,000 square feet across four levels of the Javits Center, the New York Auto Show goes beyond cars on carpet. From outdoor ride experiences and indoor test tracks featuring electric, and plug-in hybrid vehicles to exotic supercars, high performance sports cars, custom builds and interactive family-friendly attractions, this year’s Auto Show is designed to surprise, entertain and engage visitors of every generation.
“New York has always been where the automotive world connects directly with the public, and in 2026 we are elevating that connection,” said Mark Schienberg, President of the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). “This year’s Show is built around discovery and participation. Whether you are shopping for your next vehicle or simply looking for a day of fun, this Show is sure to please.”
A Global Stage for What’s Next
The New York Auto Show continues to serve as a major global stage for automotive debuts, featuring many Global and North American premieres of upcoming model-year vehicles from energy efficient to high performance. With more than 35 manufacturers exhibiting this year, the Show offers consumers a rare opportunity to see, explore and compare what is coming next, all in one place.
Immersive Experiences Across Every Level
Hands-on attractions continue to define the New York Auto Show. The Hybrid & EV Test Track returns as a large indoor ride experience providing consumers the chance to feel the power, acceleration, and advanced technology of the newest generation electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Fan-favorite off-road features are also back. Camp Jeep delivers a high-energy adventure with steep climbs, rugged obstacles, and dramatic articulation on a purpose-built course. New for 2026 is the first time offering of the Toyota Experience outdoor test track. Whether you are looking for a high-performance vehicle loaded with horsepower or a fuel-efficient model, they are all there for you to check out.
Immersive Experiences Across Every Level
Families will find even more to explore throughout the Show. The newly-introduced Family Fun Zone brings together hands-on activities and engaging displays designed to spark curiosity in younger guests, while attractions such as the Kids EV Test Track offer a fun, safe introduction to mobility. Together, these elements create shared moments for families without stepping away from the excitement of the Show.
From Exotic Supercars to Auto Culture
The 2026 New York International Auto Show offers something for enthusiasts and casual fans alike. The Exotic Car Display showcases rare, high-performance multi-million dollar vehicles from elite manufacturers, while Custom Cars & R2XPO celebrates aftermarket creativity through tuner builds, low riders, rally rigs, and one-of-a-kind custom vehicles that reflect the culture surrounding the industry.
