Los Angeles has a way of making the future feel like it’s already parked in your driveway. And come Thursday, November 20, 2025, the LA Auto Show’s AutoMobility LA® AutoMobility LA 2025 will once again prove why it’s the heavyweight champ of automotive innovation, culture, and big ideas. Registration just opened, so if you’re in the business of cars—or the business of predicting what’s next—you might want to start clearing your calendar.
This year’s theme, “The Future in Motion,” isn’t just a tagline; it’s a full-throttle statement. From AI-powered driving experiences to luxury EVs that look like rolling art installations, and even electrified boats and air taxis, AMLA 2025 is where transportation’s next chapter gets its first read-through.
As Terri Toennies, LA Auto Show President, put it:
“AutoMobility LA continues to be where big ideas become real-world solutions.”
That means you’re not just looking at concept cars behind velvet ropes—you’re in the room with the people and companies making them a reality.
The Main Stage AutoMobility LA 2025: Where the Industry Talks, Listens, and Argues (Politely)
The AutoMobility LA Main Stage, presented by Cox Automotive, is packing a schedule that hits harder than a V8 on the open highway:
- The Future of Luxury EVs – Lucid’s Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff breaks down how premium design and electric performance are rewriting the rules.
- AI Is Now – Cox Automotive’s Marianne Johnson and David Foutz go deep on how artificial intelligence is reshaping the car-buying experience and dealer operations—yes, AI is even in your next test drive.
- Future of Air and Sea – Electrification isn’t stopping at the curb; Pivotal’s Ken Karklin and Arc Boats’ Mitch Lee are taking it airborne and offshore.
- Are We There Yet? – The autonomous vehicle panel where the real answers (and a few debates) happen.
- Cars & Coffee – SEMA’s Mike Spagnola and friends explore how car passion meets policy over a cup of something strong.
Hosted by Juliette Ferrara of SiriusXM Media, the stage sessions will be livestreamed worldwide by CarBuzz, so even the folks in Stuttgart or Shanghai can tune in.
Why It Matters
This is year 118 for the LA Auto Show, and it’s still evolving like a startup. AMLA isn’t just a press day—it’s a launchpad for new products, bold announcements, and cultural shifts that ripple far beyond the convention center.
It’s where you’ll see the vehicle reveals that your Instagram feed will be drooling over for months. It’s where policy meets performance, and where the word “mobility” means more than just four wheels—it’s a movement across land, sea, and sky.
How to Get In
- Media: Complimentary access (with credentials).
- Industry Pros: $149 early bird until October 15, 2025; $249 after.

After AMLA, the LA Auto Show opens to the public from November 21–30, taking over a million square feet with test drives, immersive exhibits, and California car culture at its finest.
Bottom line: If you want to see the future of mobility before it hits the road, dock, or runway—this is where you show up. And in true LA fashion, it’s going to be big, bold, and probably wearing sunglasses.
