Automakers use New York for new-model reveals and East Coast spotlights, so the show floor is packed with fresh product launches, updated trims, and technology demos. You’ll be able to compare vehicles back-to-back—interiors, screens, seating, cargo space, and key features—in a way that’s hard to replicate at dealerships. Many displays are designed to be walk-through and hands-on, making it an ideal event for shoppers as well as content creators who want strong visual coverage. Experiences and Attractions The New York Auto Show is known for interactive attractions, not just static exhibits. In 2026, show programming highlights experiences such as: EV Test Track Camp Jeep Ford Bronco Off-Roadeo Adventure Ride Additional brand activations and rotating exhibits across the public show days These attractions are especially valuable for video content because they deliver motion, sound, and real “experience” footage—not only walkarounds.
