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 Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Ram and Volkswagen will offer free test drives on public roads for San Diego Auto Show attendees. 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.
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.
