After a two-year hiatus brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the San Diego International Auto Show returned Friday, much to the joy of car enthusiasts near and far.
Glistening new vehicles and timeless classic cars will be on display at the San Diego Convention Center, allowing visitors an up-close look at dozens of vehicles from several brands. Roughly 250 to 300 cars and trucks from makers like Lexus, Jeep, Chrysler and other household brands will be packed under one roof for visitors to browse and explore.
The Scene
Attendants will be able to test drive models by select carmakers in what the event describes as a “no sales pressure” environment. Many of the cars, trucks and SUVs will be available for purchase, but without pressure to buy, according to event organizers.
