Get a Sneak Peek at Exciting New Vehicles at the Houston Auto Show

Houston Auto Show (HAS), the largest auto show in the south, opens at the NRG Center January 22, 2020, and runs through January 26. The show features 800 new vehicles, ranging from domestic and imported vehicles to concept cars and some classic models. An added feature allows the show’s guests to test drive their favorite models during HAS.

Traditional test drives are offered in the Ride & Drive Lounge, while guests can also try the Ram Test Track or Camp Jeep for a more in-depth experience. Some manufacturers, such as Toyota, offer a gift bag to those who take one of their five available vehicles for a test drive. Another section features high-performance cars and equipment, turbo kits, and other accessories.
