The San Diego International Auto Show came to town on December 29, 2023, with a strong focus on electric vehicles and new technology. The show runs through January 1, 2024, at the San Diego Convention Center.

San Diego’s event is one of the largest four-day auto shows in the country, and the second largest in California.

Along with the EVs, organizers say there are hundreds of SUVs, trucks, sedans and sports cars on display.

A sampling of vehicles making an appearance at the show includes: 

  • The first-ever electrified Corvette, the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, and a lineup of 2024 Chevrolet EV SUVs and trucks. 
  • The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. 
  • The 2023 Nissan Ariya–Nissan’s first all-electric crossover SUV, along with the Frontier Hardbody and the iconic, new-for-2023 Z sports car.
  • The 2023 Volkswagen ID.Buzz EV bus. 
  • The San Diego debut of Honda’s first all-electric vehicle, the Prologue. 

“Year after year, we offer the most convenient way to evaluate and experience hundreds of vehicles on display in a non-selling, family-friendly environment,” says Scott Webb, president of the New Car Dealers Association of San Diego County, which owns and operates the auto show. 

On Sunday, December 31, kids 12-and-under get into the show for free with a paid adult admission. For show hours and ticket information go to: SD Auto Show.
