Chicago Auto Show 2026 | North America’s Largest Expo
The Chicago Auto Show is the largest auto show in North America by square footage. Utilizing the massive McCormick Place, it allows manufacturers to build elaborate displays and, most importantly, multiple indoor test tracks.
The Ultimate Consumer Show
Chicago is known as a “consumer show” rather than a media show. It focuses squarely on selling cars to the public. Attendees can ride in EVs, drive SUVs over indoor obstacles at the famous Camp Jeep or Ford Bronco Mountain, and compare nearly every vehicle on the market.
Don’t miss the Supercar Gallery and the classic car showcase. The show is famous for its “First Look for Charity” black-tie preview event. It is the best place in the Midwest to shop for your next car.
