The 10-day Chicago Auto Show kicked off at McCormick Place on Saturday, giving visitors the opportunity to explore the latest in vehicle technology and the newest cars to hit the streets. The nation's largest and longest-running show, it has a car for every type of person. There are sports cars, SUVS and concept vehicles like the KIA WKNDR - an all-purpose recreational vehicle with a built-in camper and space to sleep in nature. Much of the focus is on electric vehicles as was the case in recent years. A number of automakers are offering electric options, including Chevrolet, which makes the Equinox, Blazer and Silverado EVs. There are some differences compared to last year. The indoor electric vehicle test area features two tracks, compared to just one in 2024. Also brand new is Overlanding Chicago, an area on the south floor dedicated to overlanding and an outdoor lifestyle. The space will feature manufacturer displays of specialty vehicles, upfitting vendors, off-road accessories and much more.
