“Canada has made significant contributions to the auto industry throughout history and remains an important base for automakers from around the world,” says Jason Campbell, General Manager of the AutoShow. “We are going to celebrate this year. The 2017 Canadian International AutoShow is going to be all about Canada.” With more than 1,000 new cars and trucks gleaming under the spotlights at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from 17 to 26 February 2017 and attracting more than 320,000 people, the AutoShow is not only by far Canada’s largest consumer show, but it has a larger media and promotional footprint than all other Canadian auto shows combined.

Vintage cars marking the most significant events of the last 150 years of Canada’s development will feature Canadian collectors and the cars that made their mark on the Canadian automotive landscape in this year’s popular Art & the Automobile exhibit. These are some of the rarest cars in the world, owned by Canadian collectors from coast to coast who share our passion about the automobile. The Canadian International AutoShow has the greatest commitment to the exotic car market of any show in North America. Auto Exotica will once again feature all of the Exotic Marques available across the country, and will host a special showcase of rare exotics owned by Canada’s most passionate collectors.

Formula One Racing

Not only is Canada celebrating 150 years, but Formula 1 racing is celebrating 50 years since the first Grand Prix race held in Canada at Mosport in 1967. Some of the most famous drivers and cars from throughout the sport’s past 50 years will be highlighted in a 10-car display in the North Building.

The automotive sector is at the cutting edge of the digital age, and Canadians are pushing it forward. Canada’s contributions to smart technology and the autonomous car are groundbreaking and will be highlighted throughout all areas of the Show.

The Automotive Manufacturers

Five global automotive companies create jobs and economic benefits with major manufacturing facilities in Canada. In fact all 30+ brands representing the entirety of the Canadian automotive marketplace will be on display at the AutoShow, with the Show being the single best place for those in the market for a new car or light truck to cross shop in one convenient location.

“With the world’s leading auto manufacturers bringing their latest and greatest vehicles, the Canadian International AutoShow is the ideal low-pressure venue to begin shopping for that next car, or learn about what’s in store for the future of mobility.” says Campbell.
