Unveiling the Automotive Marvels

"The Los Angeles Auto Show is the preeminent, global stage for the latest trends and innovations in automotive. Overlanding is one of our most exciting categories," she states. The show covers an impressive 1 million square feet at the Los Angeles Convention Center, attracting thousands of spectators over its 10-day run, including Thanksgiving. Visitors can wander through displays of hundreds of the latest models, ranging from gas-powered to hybrid and electric vehicles.

Among the participating manufacturers are Acura, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Ineos, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche Downtown LA, RAM, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, VinFast, Volkswagen, and Volvo. The variety of vehicles on display is truly astonishing, with an array of custom vehicles, exotics, classic cars, lowriders, and off-road vehicles captivating the audience.

Test-Driving Adventures

Attendees are in for a treat as they can take both indoor and outdoor test drives. One of the highlights is Ford's "Bronco Mountain," an innovative indoor-outdoor off-road course. This allows people to experience "the power of Bronco while learning about the brand's storied legacy." Another exciting exhibit is "Camp Jeep," a 30,000-square-foot area where visitors can take a Jeep through a series of obstacles that simulate the rigorous testing required before customers can get behind the wheel. Professional drivers will showcase the capabilities of the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe, Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe, and Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

The show also features a dedicated display area known as the OVRland Outpost, sponsored by OVRMag.com.
