North American International Auto Show

The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), also known as the Detroit Auto Show, is an annual auto show held in Detroit, Michigan, U.S., at Huntington Place (formerly known as Cobo Center). The show was held in January from 1989 to 2019. It was intended to move to the summer in 2020, but was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic that year and 2021, before returning in September 2022. It is among the largest auto shows in North America. UPI says the show is "regarded as the foremost venue for [car] manufacturers to unveil new products".

The show begins with press preview days, industry preview days and a charity preview event. The charity preview raises money for local children's charities. In 2004 and 2005, the charity preview attracted 17,500 people at $400 a ticket and raised $7 million in total. Over 800,000 attended during the days the show was open to the general public in 2018; it is estimated that the show generates a revenue of over $500 million to the local economy.

History
In 1899, William E. Metzger helped organize the Detroit Auto Show, only the second of its kind, after the 1898 Paris Auto Show. An auto show was held in Detroit in 1907 at Beller's Beer Garden at Riverside Park and since then annually except 1941–1953. During the show's first decades of existence it portrayed only a regional focus. In 1957 international carmakers exhibited for the first time.

In 1987, the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) proposed it become international. The members of the DADA went to places such as Europe and Japan in the attempt to convince those unveiling their new brands or vehicles in those countries to bring those unveilings to the North American Auto Show. That attempt proved to be successful; the North American Auto Show was then renamed the North American International Auto Show in 1989. The NAIAS was the first (and, until 2006, only) auto show in the United States sanctioned by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles.

Since 1965, the show has been held at Huntington Place (formerly Cobo Center), where it occupies nearly 1 e6sqft of floor space. Prior to being held at Huntington Place, the show was held at other well-known places in the Metro Detroit area, including the Light Guard Armory, Wayne Gardens pavilion, and Michigan State Fairgrounds.

Record attendance was in 2003, with 838,066 attendees. In 2009, attendance was 650,517. In 2016, there were 815,575 in ticketed attendance, after reaching 803,451 in 2015.

Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz were not present at the 2019 edition, following recent absences of other luxury manufacturers like Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo.

In 2018, plans were made to move the show from January to June beginning in 2020, in hopes of attracting more visitors and adding outdoor events, with plans for an "auto plaza" around Woodward and Jefferson avenues, in addition to the indoor exhibition at TCF Center. An outdoor festival known as "Motor Bella" was to precede the show, which would showcase European supercars. The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to Michigan health orders and TCF Center being used as a field hospital by FEMA.

In 2020, plans were made to move the 2021 show from June to late September due to the continued pandemic. However, the 2021 edition was also canceled. The NAIAS organizers held Motor Bella at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan as a partial replacement, which was an outdoor enthusiast event running from September 21–26. Executive director Rod Alberts stated that "we cannot ignore the major disruptions caused by the pandemic and the impact it has had on budgets. As such, we will be providing an amazing experience to the media, the auto industry and the public in a cost-effective way."

The 2022 edition returned to downtown Detroit and was held in September. The format is scheduled to be unchanged for the 2023 edition.

2025
The show is expected to return to its original January timeframe in 2025; as a result, no show will be held in 2024.

2023
The 2023 show was held from September 16–24, with the media preview on the 13th and charity preview (featuring a performance by Jennifer Hudson) on the 15th. Notably, its run coincided with the beginning of the 2023 United Auto Workers strike, which targeted Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, the show's three largest exhibitors. The UAW held a rally outside Huntington Place on the evening of the charity preview, but did not picket the event or call for a consumer boycott of the show.

For 2023, the show returned to its previous all-indoor format. All three Detroit-based automakers exhibited, joined by Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and Volkswagen. Subaru, which exhibited in 2022, declined to return for the 2023 show, while Honda was represented by an exhibit organized by a consortium of its Detroit-area dealers, rather than one hosted by the company itself. Like in the 2022 show, non-participating automakers were represented by smaller displays of their automobiles in a section of the show floor.

The 2023 show also featured a large indoor test track at the rear of the show floor, on which attendees rode in new electric vehicles from GM, Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, and Tesla. Dubbed the Powering Michigan EV Experience, the track included a 300-foot acceleration strip, and a serpentine course to demonstrate the vehicles' handling. Tesla's participation in the EV Experience marked the company's first NAIAS appearance since 2015. In addition, the separate off-road courses in the Ford and Jeep exhibits, as well as the Ram truck course, returned from the 2022 show.

2022
In 2022, the full NAIAS returned to Huntington Place, running from September 17–25, with the media preview on the 14th and the charity preview on the 16th. The media preview was visited by U.S. President Joe Biden, and the charity preview featured a performance by Nile Rodgers & Chic.

The 2022 edition featured a redesigned layout, with the main exhibits indoors on the show floor at Huntington Place, and other supporting events outdoors in nearby Hart Plaza. Stellantis, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and Subaru were the only automakers with major exhibits on the convention floor, while Volkswagen had a smaller display in the lobby of Huntington Place. Many non-participating automakers, such as Nissan, Hyundai, and Mercedes-Benz, were represented by new vehicles on display on the convention floor, but without a branded exhibit.

Returning from Motor Bella were interactive test tracks on the show floor, in which attendees were given the chance to ride in Ford and Stellantis vehicles. Ford's track featured an acceleration strip, used to demonstrate the F-150 Lightning, and a large hill, showcasing the Bronco's off-road capabilities. Stellantis operated two tracks: an off-road course featuring the Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, and Grand Cherokee, and a demonstration course with Ram pickup trucks. Rides on all three were included with show admission.

Stellantis rented the World's Largest Rubber Duck for the show, in recognition of "ducking," a trend among Jeep owners; the duck stood in the plaza outside Huntington Place.
