Indoor Outdoor Plugs

The LA Auto Show, a leading automotive and lifestyle in-person event, recently announced its roster of dynamic indoor and outdoor activations, press events, and consumer attractions to showcase the world-class vehicle lineup set to make their debut at the 2021 LA Auto Show. Doors open to consumers Nov.19-28 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. After the LA Auto Show’s hiatus due to the global pandemic, the return of in-person debuts and meetings will provide the perfect atmosphere for automakers to showcase why the world of mobility is one of the most innovative and forward-thinking industries on the planet. Here’s a little pre-pandemic flashback to give you an idea of what sort of show to expect.

Before the LA Auto Show opens for Southern Californians to explore—established and newcomer automakers from around the world will introduce their latest concept and production vehicles during 2021 AutoMobility LA (LA Auto Show’s industry and media gathering). This year’s lineup of AutoMobility LA press conferences will take place in-person on Wednesday, Nov. 17; companies making announcements include Barbie, Biliti Electric Inc., Bremach, EdisonFuture, Fisker Inc., Hyundai Motor, Kia, Mullen, Subaru, and VinFast.

“The LA Auto Show is a must-attend event every year for a reason, we bring 10 days and one million square feet of indoor and outdoor experiences that our attendees look forward to year after year,” said Lisa Kaz, owner and CEO of the LA Auto Show.

The LA Auto Show will showcase dynamic startups and established brands as they deliver 10 jam-packed days of test drives, never-before-seen vehicles, custom and exotic cars, all-new zero-emission vehicles, interactive activations, and one-of-a-kind experiences. Influencers and shoppers can test drive vehicles from brands such as Audi, Chrysler, Dodge, ElectraMeccanica, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Jeep, Nissan, Ram, Subaru, and Toyota; additional experiences include:

The course offers a first-hand look at ground clearance, traction, stability, articulation, breakover, off-camber, and suspension. Camp Jeep is an interactive adventure zone where professional 4×4 drivers allow riders to experience a Jeep brand vehicle’s on and off-road capabilities. Expert drivers will drive participants in the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon, Wrangler 4xe, Grand Cherokee, Gladiator Rubicon, Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, and Cherokee Trailhawk vehicles.
