NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — The New York International Automobile Show is returning this year after being canceled twice due to coronavirus concerns.
The 10-day event is slated for April 15-24 at the Jacob Javits Center and “will include innovative new displays from dozens of car companies including hundreds of new 2022 and 2023 models.”
“We're back! In the past two years there's been so much change with new and exciting products, technology and advancements and we can't wait to again showcase the very best that the industry has to offer to potential car buyers throughout our area,” said March Schienberg, president of the New York Auto Show.
The show will be among the first major events to return to the expo center in Manhattan, which was used as a field hospital and mass vaccination center during the height of the pandemic.
The event is expected to draw in hundreds of thousands of car enthusiasts and other visitors.
Event organizers said they are hoping this year’s event will draw an even bigger crowd with a host of new engagements for the public, including a dedicated multi-brand Electric Vehicle Test Track.
The show will also feature a personal “Micro Mobility Expo” to showcase the latest in electric “last mile” transportation.
“The great constant of the history of the automobile industry over the past 120 years is the New York Auto Show and its unique place as the premier automotive marketing event in the nation,” said John LaSorsa, New York Auto Show chairman. “No other event attracts so many potential car buyers or as much media attention. There is simply no other way to reach as many consumers in such an experiential way.”
Organizers said the Auto Show is constantly growing and evolving and final details on the 2022 show are expected in the coming months.
