Auto Show Season Kicks Off in Washington, D.C.

The Washington, D.C. Auto Show will transform the Walter E. Washington Convention Center into a one-stop shopping destination for car buyers from Jan. 31-Feb. 9. Bringing together top automotive brands under one roof, the show offers a unique opportunity for attendees to explore and compare the latest models, technologies and features in a single location.

From family-favorite SUVs to eco-friendly hybrids and sleek sedans, the event makes the car-shopping process efficient, comprehensive and enjoyable, officials stated in an announcement offering show highlights.

Featuring brands such as Toyota, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ford, Volkswagen, Kia, Honda, Acura, Chevy, Buick, GMC, Hyundai, Polestar, Volvo and Subaru, the show provides a comprehensive lineup that eliminates the need to visit multiple dealerships. Visitors can explore a wide range of vehicles, examine them up close and learn about cutting-edge features like advanced safety systems, electric powertrains and innovative designs.

Along with its practical benefits, the show provides a visual feast for automotive enthusiasts as well. Exotic vehicles from high-end brands like Lamborghini and Ferrari will be displayed alongside custom builds from DC Car Scene and within the Art of Motion exhibit hosted by Automotive Rhythms.

For those who appreciate the history, the classic car display will feature vintage models that highlight the evolution of engineering and design across decades.

An outdoor Ride and Drive experience takes the evaluation process a step further for Volvo and Kia, allowing attendees to test select vehicles in real-world conditions.

Expert representatives from each automaker will be on-site to answer questions, offer insights and guide attendees through available financing options.

“For serious buyers, this direct access to knowledgeable professionals in a relaxed atmosphere ensures informed decision-making without the pressure of a traditional sales environment,” the release stated. “The show also caters to those still in the early stages of their search, offering inspiration and information to help narrow down choices.”

Family-friendly attractions include racing simulators and creative play areas.
