The Colorado Auto Show is returning to the Colorado Convention Center from April 10-12, 2026, featuring 22 automotive manufacturers, exotic Italian cars, antique models, and a variety of test drive options for consumers to explore the latest vehicles on the market.

Why it matters

As the auto industry navigates challenges like tariffs, high interest rates, and the phasing out of electric vehicle tax credits, the Colorado Auto Show provides an opportunity for consumers to compare a wide range of new models side-by-side and find the right vehicle to meet their needs and budget.

The details

In addition to the 22 manufacturers on display, the show will feature an 'Automezzi' exhibit showcasing Italian exotic cars and motorcycles from brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. The Forney Museum will also be bringing some of its antique vehicle models. Attendees will be able to test drive a variety of vehicles, including an Escalade with massage seats and TVs in the back. Other attractions include a mobile F1 racing simulator, an RC car racing challenge, and an expanded 'Colorado Adventure' area featuring boats, RVs, and ATVs.
