The Los Angeles Auto Show opened its gates at the Convention Center in Los Angeles, California, and carmakers have put their best foot forward. It is the first time every carmaker present at the event has an EV on display.
New cars, special exhibits, driving experiences. That is what guests are getting at the car event that is called North America’s most influential auto show. But there is a world premiere that organizers are highlighting.

For the first time in the 116-year history of the Los Angeles Auto Show, every car manufacturer present in LA has at least one all-electric model on display. There are more than 50 such cars at the Convention Center these days, wearing the badges of Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, Genesis, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Porsche, and others.

Guests can get the chance to even drive some of the vehicles present at the Auto Show. Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, Lucid, Polestar, Porsche, and Tesla are only some of the participants that offer such opportunities along a nearly one-mile course around South Hall at the LA Convention Center.

Furthermore, Ford, Subaru, and Tesla also offer street drives. Guests are also expected to join the Ford Bronco Off-Rodeo Ride Experience, which takes them to unbeaten paths onboard the Blue Oval off-roader for around four hours for nearly $800.

On the Must-See list, organizers also wrote down the name of the Lucid Gravity. The three-row, seven-seat SUV has been drawing crowds like a magnet since the Los Angeles Auto Show opened its gates. With a projected range in excess of 440 miles, the Gravity sits alongside the Air at the Lucid booth. The model will enter production in 2024, with deliveries scheduled to begin toward the end of the year.

Exotic cars are also on the list. Those who want to see them will be specifically directed to Galpin Hall of Customs, Renovation Motorsports, Kevin Hart Collection, and The Aftermarket Garage. The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, the ultra-rare Pagani Huayra, cars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Lotus are the stars of this area of the show.

There are also several interesting concept cars that the organizers recommend seeing. Kia brought both the EV3 and EV4. The concept cars feature sustainable materials like bio-plastic and leather substitutes, recycled fabrics, and BTX-free paint. The models they preview will be underpinned by the E-GMP architecture. They should be unveiled sometime next year and should enter production in 2025.

Another concept car that has been enjoying the spotlight in Los Angeles is the Honda Prelude. The hybrid concept car made fans of the brand wonder when they will get a new-gen Prelude. Honda dismissed the nameplate more than 20 years ago.

The Los Angeles Auto Show is a star-studded event

The Kevin Hart Collection is on display in LA, showing the actor's custom-built muscle cars on their public debut. His custom Ferrari SF90 Spider in black with contrasting yellow accents is also there. Kevin's touring DJ, Joey Wells, performs every day except Thanksgiving.

The cars from the MAX series Downey's Dream Cars are these days in Los Angeles as well. The collection includes six classic cars belonging to Robert Downey Jr. The actor chose to convert them into eco-friendly vehicles with less polluting powertrains. All of them will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the actor's charity.

The doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center will remain open until November 26. Tickets start at $24.
