TORONTO [Peter Paul Media] — The Canadian International AutoShow runs between February 14 and 23, 2025, and features vehicles in every class you can imagine being admired, demonstrated, celebrated and test driven.

Held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre since 1986, the 2025 AutoShow features the latest vehicles, interactive areas, a fan zone and outdoor test drive programs in two buildings. 

The show originally began in 1974 as the Toronto Auto Show at the International Centre in Mississauga. In 1986 after twelve years in Mississauga, the now internationally recognized show moved to the newly-built Metro Toronto Convention Centre, where Canada’s largest automotive event is still held today.

Rogers Centre was once used between 1991 and 1998 as additional space, pushing the show to over 800,000 sq ft. Nowadays, the show is over 650,000 sq ft. 

Following the pandemic, the 2021 and 2022 shows were cancelled but the 2024 version was back with a bang last year registering 371,559 guests, an AutoShow all-time record. Below is a handy guide you can use while navigating the show, which is definitely set to be a busy one:
