The Central Florida International Auto Show returns to the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) with hundreds of new cars, trucks, crossovers, SUVs, electric vehicles (EVs), exotics, and more. For four days, car lovers are invited to check out hundreds of the latest vehicles in a non-selling environment, inspect engines and experience the latest automotive technology. The show will feature an indoor EV Performance Track, outdoor test drives, and more, from Thursday, November 2 through Sunday, November 5.

Product specialists from leading automotive manufacturers will be at the show to answer questions and provide information on the latest vehicles. A must-see lineup of pre-production models, not yet available in dealer showrooms including the Mustang Dark Horse, Toyota Tundra, Ram 2500, Dodge Durango, Toyota Tacoma, Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV, Nissan Ariya, Grand Wagoneer, Dodge Hornet, Ford Maverick, and more.

The indoor EV Performance Track will give attendees a thrilling ride in and array of EV vehicles on a track with tight turns and a quick acceleration lane to showcase the handling and performance of EV vehicles. Participating manufacturers include BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. An EV learning center will complement the EV experience by educating customers on the benefits of owning an electric vehicle, charging station options, and just how easy it is to make the switch to electric.

“Although EVs are growing in popularity, hybrids and plug-in hybrids are also viable options, and there are plenty to choose from,” said Central Florida Automobile Dealers Association President Evelyn Cardenas. “From fuel efficient gas vehicles to all-electric models, the Central Florida International Auto Show is a great place to learn about all the eco-friendly options available today.”

Licensed drivers are also invited to take the show floor experience to the next level and test drive a lineup of new vehicles outside the convention center from Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Jeep, and Ram.
