The Seattle International Auto Show, presented by BECU, is set to return to Lumen Field Event Center from Friday, Nov. 14 to Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025. This annual event offers attendees the only opportunity in Seattle to compare, experience, and explore hundreds of vehicles side by side, including the latest electric, hybrid, and gas-powered models. With interactive exhibits, hands-on experiences, and family-friendly activities, the show aims to help consumers make informed decisions about their next vehicle purchase.
One of the key highlights this year is the focus on electric and hybrid vehicles. Attendees can attend EV educational seminars led by renowned automotive expert Tom Voelk, who will demystify the differences between EVs, hybrids, and gas-powered engines. The show also features an EV Test Drive area where visitors can get behind the wheel of cutting-edge models such as the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV, Cadillac Optiq, Chevrolet Equinox EV, GMC Sierra EV Pickup, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Volkswagen ID Buzz EV. Additionally, the Electric Highway Display will showcase models from brands like Audi, GMC, and Hyundai, with product specialists available to answer questions.
Must-see debuts include the Ford Expedition, Hyundai Palisade HEV, INEOS Grenadier Wagon, Ram 1500 Pickup, Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter Pickup, Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line, and the return of the Honda Prelude after more than 20 years, now as a hybrid. For those seeking value, the Buick Envista, Cadillac Optiq BEV, and Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo are highlighted as great options. The show also offers test drives for over 30 of the latest models.
Beyond the vehicles, the event includes several special features. The Classic Car Display, presented by The Woodinville Cruisers Car Club, will showcase timeless classics and rare gems. The Porsche Car Club Retrospective will feature over 40 iconic Porsche models spanning from 1948 to today.
