The 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show will return to the Los Angeles Convention Center from November 20 through 29, bringing together nearly two dozen automotive brands across gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles.
The lineup announced on October 15 includes familiar family SUVs, performance cars, pickup trucks, and new electric models, giving shoppers a chance to compare competing vehicles in one place.
The event takes place as automakers explore different ways to meet consumer expectations for driving range, performance, technology, and affordability. Hybrid powertrains are becoming available across more vehicle segments, electric models are advancing in charging speed and capability, and gasoline-powered performance vehicles continue to attract buyers.
The announced exhibits offer a useful snapshot of that mix, although not every vehicle expected to attract attention has been confirmed as a debut.
The Confirmed Brand Lineup Covers a Broad Range of Vehicles
The show’s October announcement lists Acura, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Nissan, Porsche Downtown LA, Ram, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen.
The event’s brand roster is subject to change, and a participating brand’s presence does not mean every model in its lineup will be displayed.
Among the most significant announced vehicles is the Rivian R2, an all-electric SUV aimed at buyers seeking a more accessible entry into the Rivian lineup.
The show announcement lists up to 656 horsepower, an estimated range of 330 miles, and a quickest 0-to-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds. Its combination of everyday usability and adventure-oriented capability makes it one of the notable electric vehicles to watch.
Toyota’s all-new 2028 Highlander is another major announcement. It shifts the three-row family SUV to an all-electric powertrain, with Toyota citing up to 315 miles of range, seating for seven, and front- or all-wheel-drive configurations.
A 14-inch touchscreen and bidirectional power capability are also highlighted. The change is significant because it brings an established family nameplate into a fully electric format.
For shoppers who want a larger electric vehicle with a premium interior, the Genesis GV90 is also featured in the show’s announcement. Genesis describes it as a full-size electric flagship SUV with an available three-row cabin and styling influenced by the Neolun concept.
Its presence underscores how electric propulsion is moving beyond compact crossovers and performance sedans into luxury family vehicles.
The show will not be limited to electric models. The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is highlighted with new V8 engine options, an updated digital cockpit, and available Super Cruise hands-free driving technology.
Chevrolet’s full specifications and availability details should be checked against its final model-year information, but the announcement points to the continuing importance of full-size pickups in the U.S. market.
Other confirmed highlights include the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, with a revised design, a 282-horsepower turbocharged engine, and an available 15-inch touchscreen, and the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica, which is expected to feature refreshed exterior styling and enhanced driver-assistance technology while retaining its family-focused seating flexibility.
These vehicles illustrate why the show may appeal to buyers with very different priorities. A family comparing three-row SUVs can evaluate electric and conventional choices, while truck shoppers can look at new powertrain and cockpit technology. Enthusiasts can also examine performance models without the event being limited to one segment or propulsion type.
Hybrids, Muscle Cars, and High-Performance EVs Share the Spotlight
Hybrids are among the most important themes in the announced lineup. The Kia Telluride Hybrid brings electrification to a three-row SUV, with Kia citing 329 horsepower, 339 lb-ft of torque, and an estimated combined fuel economy of up to 35 mpg.
The automaker also lists a potential driving range of 637 miles. Those figures could make it a point of comparison for families who want substantial passenger space without moving to a fully electric vehicle.
The 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid is another notable addition because it introduces Nissan’s e-POWER technology to the U.S. market. Unlike a conventional hybrid arrangement, e-POWER uses an electric motor to drive the wheels while a gasoline engine generates electricity.
Nissan’s announced estimates reach 38 mpg combined, with 41 mpg in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. The system gives buyers an electric-motor driving experience without requiring external charging.
Subaru is also extending electrification into its adventure-oriented range with the Forester Wilderness Hybrid. The show announcement lists 194 horsepower, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 9.3 inches of ground clearance, and up to 38% better fuel economy.
The combination is aimed at drivers who want light off-road capability alongside improved efficiency, rather than a vehicle designed exclusively for paved roads.
Performance enthusiasts have a different set of vehicles to consider. Ford’s Mustang Dark Horse SC convertible is listed with a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 producing 795 horsepower, making it a particularly striking entry among the announced gasoline-powered vehicles.
Dodge’s Charger Scat Pack, meanwhile, uses a twin-turbocharged SIXPACK inline-six rated at 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, with all-wheel drive and selectable rear-wheel drive.
Electric performance will be represented by the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, which Porsche says can produce up to 1,139 horsepower. Its announced figures include a 0-to-60-mph time of 2.4 seconds and a range of up to 317 miles.
Porsche also highlights its 800-volt electrical architecture and charging from 10% to 80% in as little as 16 minutes under optimal conditions. Actual charging speeds depend on the charger, battery temperature, and other factors.
The Lucid Gravity GT-S adds another high-output electric SUV to the mix. Its announced 1,070-horsepower, rear-wheel-steering, and adaptive air suspension combine performance hardware with three-row practicality.
Tesla’s Model Y L takes a different approach by combining an extended wheelbase with six seats arranged across three rows. With an announced EPA-estimated range of 332 miles, it focuses on providing additional passenger space while retaining the familiar design and electric driving experience of an SUV.
The Ram 1500 HEMI highlights the continued appeal of traditional truck power. Its returning 5.7-liter V8 is listed at 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, with 48-volt eTorque mild-hybrid assistance and up to 11,320 pounds of towing capacity.
It demonstrates that electrification does not necessarily mean replacing a gasoline engine with a battery-only powertrain.
Taken together, these models show how widely manufacturers’ strategies now differ. Some use hybrid systems to improve fuel economy, others pursue electric range and charging speed, and performance brands continue to compete on horsepower and acceleration. The exhibition gives consumers a chance to compare those approaches directly.
Test Drives and Unannounced Debuts Will Shape the Show
Static displays are only part of the planned experience. The Los Angeles Auto Show says outdoor street drives will let visitors experience participating vehicles on downtown Los Angeles roads.
An LADWP Test Track outside the Convention Center’s South Hall will focus on electric and hybrid models, allowing attendees to compare electrified powertrains in a driving environment.
Capability-focused experiences are also planned. Ford Bronco Built Wild and the Camp Jeep Adventure Course will give visitors opportunities to experience off-road-oriented vehicles, while Nissan is scheduled to offer an indoor ride experience.
The announced participating drive and ride brands include Ford, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Nissan, Rivian, Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen, among others. Specific test-drive vehicles may be announced closer to the event.
It is important to separate these confirmed plans from expectations about new product reveals. The October 15 announcement identifies numerous vehicles expected at the show, but it does not establish that every one will make its world debut there. Some are existing or forthcoming U.S.-market models being showcased rather than entirely new unveilings.
The organizer has said further debut details and the complete AutoMobility LA media schedule would be released later. AutoMobility LA takes place on November 19, one day before the public show opens.
Until additional announcements arrive, claims about surprise vehicles, undisclosed production models, or specific world premieres should be treated as unconfirmed.
The main advantage of the 2026 event for consumers is the wide range of vehicles available to explore. Attendees can compare gas-powered trucks, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric models, speak directly with brand representatives, and experience selected vehicles through test drives and ride programs.
That makes the show useful not only for enthusiasts following new technology but also for shoppers narrowing down their next family car, SUV, or pickup.
The Los Angeles Auto Show runs November 20–29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with AutoMobility LA scheduled for November 19. As additional model and exhibit details emerge, the final lineup may change.
The confirmed announcement reflects the industry’s diverse priorities, from improving fuel efficiency and advancing electric performance to preserving conventional powertrains, meeting family needs, and introducing new in-car technologies.
