Though we’re a couple of months away from the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show, carmakers are already lining up to publicize their plans.
On Thursday, the show’s organizers announced that they’re expecting well over 50 vehicle debuts, of which more than 20 will be world premieres, including from Alfa Romeo that will introduce a new SUV, Mazda, MINI, Subaru, Volkswagen (expected to bring the Teramont), Jeep that will present its new compact SUV, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover and Smart.
Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche (five premieres) and GM will all have multiple reveals, with the latter confirming two Chevrolet debuts and the Cadillac Escala Concept that has only been seen at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Evidently, some of the world debuts planned for the Paris Auto Show in November will come to the LA event as North American premieres.
This year marks the first time that LA Auto Show organizers will merge the traditional new vehicle press days with the affiliated Connected Car Expo that focuses on technology, resulting in a four-day single entity rebranded as “AutoMobility LA” from November 14 to 17, before the show opens its doors to the public on November 18 through 27.
