2026 Canadian International AutoShow

Canada's largest annual auto show at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, running Feb 13–22, 2026 (Media Day Feb 12). The show covers new model debuts, an indoor EV test track, manufacturer stands and feature exhibits such as The Vault.

Expect a large, indoor trade-and-consumer show with industry presentations (AJAC awards on Media Day), hands-on activations and vehicle walk-arounds across the North and South buildings.

A comprehensive consumer auto show focused on new cars, EVs and hands-on experiences in downtown Toronto.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Wide manufacturer representation and new-model reveals in one venue.

• Indoor EV test track and interactive exhibits that let you compare drivability.

• Concentrated access to industry reps and AJAC award coverage on Media Day.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early on a weekday to avoid the biggest crowds, allocate 3–4 hours to walk both buildings, and book any timed test-track or feature experiences in advance if available. Use Union Station and public transit to avoid paid venue parking and long lot lines.

Good to know:

• The show spans both North and South buildings at MTCC—plan indoor navigation and warm clothing for outdoor transfers.

• Official site lists schedules, partner exhibits and accessibility info; check for timed-entry or feature booking before you go.

• Great if you want to compare multiple new models and EVs in one visit.
• Great if you enjoy hands-on demos like the indoor EV test track.
• Great if you like direct access to manufacturer reps and technical info.
• Maybe skip if you prefer small, specialist car shows with fewer crowds.
