Detroit Auto Show 2025

The Motor City invites you to its latest auto show!

The world-famous Detroit Auto Show, officially the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), is one of the most prominent automotive events in the world. This exciting show presents the newest vehicle designs, technologies, and mobility innovations every year in Detroit. 

It's a fantastic gathering that draws automakers, industry professionals, and passionate enthusiasts worldwide. The event features the premieres of new and concept cars and interactive exhibits on electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and sustainability trends.

Founded in 1907 as a regional show, NAIAS was rebranded in 1989 to signify its international status. Since then, it has become a platform for innovation and honors Detroit's legacy as the "Motor City."

Fun fact: In 1953, a Chevrolet Corvette prototype was displayed on blocks of ice at the auto show to emphasize its lightweight fiberglass body, a unique marketing gimmick at the time. Over the years, the show has attracted celebrities and even served as a launchpad for vehicles featured in blockbuster movies.

The 2025 Detroit Auto Show will take place from January 10 to 20 at the Huntington Place. Come and see all that it offers!

What to Expect When Attending Detroit Auto Show 2025

The event has three segments: Charity Preview, Industry Days, and the Public Show.

The Charity Preview on January 10 will be a black-tie gala before the public opening, offering a first look at exhibits while raising funds for local children's charities. It's also a media day where you can find the 2025 North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle winners. Live music is also part of this day. Multi-platinum recording artist and hip-hop icon Flo Rida will headline the black-tie Charity Preview, so prepare for a good vibe!

Industry Days are dedicated to automotive professionals, providing exclusive access to unveilings, panels, and networking opportunities with industry leaders. They will last two days, January 15 and 16. On these days, the Mobility Global Forum will be held. This forum discusses electrification, autonomous vehicles, sustainable transportation, and smart city integration.

Finally, the Public Show is open to everyone and features the latest vehicles, interactive exhibits, and family-friendly activities. It will take place from January 11 to 20, 2025.

Expect world premieres of the latest cars, SUVs, trucks, and luxury vehicles from leading automakers. The show is a global stage where brands unveil innovative designs and ever-growing technologies. From sleek concept cars to high-performance sports cars and family-friendly electric vehicles, with impressive reveals throughout.

Since the event expanded to include outdoor events, you can expect a vibrant festival-like setting outside Huntington Place. From large vehicle displays to live music, food trucks, and family-friendly activities, these additions will create a lively environment for all ages.

It looks like we’re in for some chilly weather. Daytime temperatures will be around -1 C (30 F), and at night, they may drop to a brisk -8 C (17 F). Some snow is also in the forecast, so make sure to bundle up in layers, wear your warmest boots, and don’t forget to grab an umbrella!
