It’s back! The ever-popular Utah International Auto Expo is returning to the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy, Utah next weekend, January 16-19, 2026. Grab your tickets online and come see the show for yourselves. It’s a great family activity where you can see the latest and greatest new cars, trucks and SUVs. You won’t want to miss this annual event –hope to see you there!

Friday, January 16 through Monday, January 19. Attendees will explore vehicles from more than 30 brands, featuring the hottest new cars, pre-production vehicles, exotics, off-road vehicles, and more. From hybrids and EVs to traditional gas-powered rides, it’s the ultimate hands-on car-shopping experience. 

Guests can compare hybrids, plug-in hybrids, EVs, and traditional gas engines to discover what best suits their lifestyle. Notable vehicles on display include the 2026 Jeep Recon, 2027 Chevrolet Bolt, Toyota 4Runner, 2026 Jeep Cherokee hybrid, 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI, Alfa Romeo Tonale, 2026 Kia EV9 GT, 2026 Nissan Leaf, 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Sport hybrid, and Fiat 500e Armani Edition. Attendees can also get behind the wheel and test drive a variety of vehicles from Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Ram, and Toyota. 

“It’s all about choices this year,” said Kelley Blue Book Executive Editor Brian Moody. “Consumers can pick from fast, powerful gas vehicles like the new Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 Hemi, or explore hybrids that are growing in popularity, including the Jeep Cherokee Hybrid (500-mile range) and Toyota Camry (650-mile range). The Utah Auto Expo is a great place to compare, and test drive these options in a no-pressure setting.” 

The Adventure Utah display celebrates the state’s love for the great outdoors. Experience the latest off-road vehicles, ATVs, side-by-sides, towable trailers, and boats designed for outdoor fun – ideal for Utah! We also have the ultimate rugged Ineos Grenadier off-road vehicles built for real off roaders on display. 

Children can enjoy the iHeartRadio Kid Zone, featuring a Lego play area, and kids Lego car racing track. Additionally, driving simulators and photo opportunities will entertain children of all ages.
