By the end of the day, 22,628 people had passed through the turnstiles to see the offerings from 44 different automotive brands across the 650,000 square feet of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. This year’s opening eclipsed the 21,385 who attended opening day in 2018. In total The 2024 Canadian International AutoShow welcomed 371,559 people to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre during the run of the show, the highest attendance in the 51-year history of the event.
The 2024 Canadian International AutoShow offers a full slate of new and unique offerings that appeal to a broad audience. From the cars that will be coming to showrooms soon to pop culture icons to various vehicles used by emergency services personnel, the AutoShow is an event with a diverse array of things to see and do from the automotive world.
Thirty-one vehicles are making a debut at the 2024 AutoShow, including the 2025 model year Porsche Taycan, Ford Explorer, Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, Lincoln Aviator, Subaru Forester, Toyota Crown Signia, Volvo EX90, Genesis GV80 Coupe and Kia Carnival. Other debuts include the concepts Vision Qe and QX Monograph from INFINITI, the Porsche Vision GT concept and the 2024 model year Toyota Land Cruiser, Porsche Panamera, Subaru WRX RS, Lotus Eletre and INEOS Grenadier.
The AutoShow also has it from Barbie to Batman. See the pink 1957 Chevrolet Corvette inspired by the one Barbie drives in the blockbuster Barbie movie from last year — and have your picture taken in a life-sized Barbie Box. A little darker than Barbie’s bright pink is the dark and sinister “Tumbler” Batmobile, a replica of the car driven by Batman in The Dark Knight trilogy of films. This year’s AutoShow also features four life-sized versions of popular Hot Wheels cars, including the OG Hot Wheels, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, and the Original 16 — the first die-cast Hot Wheels ever produced.
“This year’s AutoShow is bigger and better, back to the same footprint we had pre-pandemic and with perhaps the best collection of exotic cars we have ever presented,” says Jason Campbell, General Manager of the AutoShow. “We are seeing that people are eager to explore the new cars coming to the market, and really enjoy the special features we have assembled for the 2024 AutoShow.” The AutoShow runs until February 25th.
