Test Drives
Get behind the wheel and take it for a spin! Test drives are the ultimate way to experience and evaluate a vehicle, and several brands will offer free test drives on public roads for San Diego Auto Show attendees at this year’s San Diego Auto Show. You’ll be able to experience a variety of powertrains, including EVs, plug-in hybrids and gasoline vehicles. Street test drives can be found along the front drive of the convention center, and they typically operate 10am-5pm each day of the show.
See below for a list of vehicles that will be available for test drives at this year’s show.
A summary of participation requirements can be found at the bottom of this page, although they may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
And don’t miss our EV Test Track, powered by LENZ Charging for entirely different electrified experience, right on the show floor.
