Vancouver International Auto Show 2026 Cars and Concepts Turning Heads

If you’re a car lover, you may have dreams of getting up close to Porsches and Lamborghinis, admiring their sleek contours and lux interiors. Or, if you’re shopping for a new car, you may want to get behind the wheel of your top picks. The 2026 Vancouver International Auto Show is an event that will bring it all together for you, from made-for-speed elite vehicles to the latest EV models.

The Details for the Vancouver International Auto Show 2026

It all takes place this year from March 25 to 29, at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, set against the backdrop of Vancouver’s stunning waterfront.

What Not to Miss at the Vancouver International Auto Show 2026

To maximize your experience, you’ll want to set aside a day for exploring the show, which spans over 300,000 square feet. You’ll be able to stop by manufacturer and dealer displays where you can peer into cars, try out the seats, and ask questions.

You can also expect specialty showcases, geared to get any car enthusiast’s heart racing. Keep your phone handy to take pics at Supercar Eleganza of splashy top-of-the-line Bentleys and Aston Martins. Or, head to the Elite Dream Machines for rare McLarens and Ferraris that collectors are exclusively showcasing.

Or, you can immerse yourself in car culture at showcases like Horsepower Heaven, which spotlights custom builds of beloved vintage cars, or the Classic Mini Coopers display, where the long history of the iconic vehicle is celebrated.

Finally, the Test Drive Experience offers you the chance to hit the road with current EVs you’ve been eying. Make sure to get there early to sign up for a time slot (and don’t forget your driver’s licence).

Where to Grab a Bite

All that checking out Corvettes and Formula One cars is bound to work up an appetite! Fortunately, there are some casual spots nearby.

Just next to the Convention Centre, you’ll find Jack Poole Plaza, home to the 2020 Olympic Cauldron. Look out for the red umbrellas of Tap & Barrel, which champions local breweries, wineries and distilleries. While you enjoy an IPA, snack on their famous fried pickles and Korean fried chicken sliders.

Just across from Tap, you’ll find Cactus Club Cafe, a local favourite where their smash burger with sea salted fries hits the spot. It’ll be a satisfying close to a revved-up day at the 2026 Vancouver International Auto Show.
