As we enter the final stages of preparation, the Oregon International Auto Show (OIAS) mission is clear: to deliver an educational, hands-on experience that goes beyond the show floor.
“One of the most popular attractions at any auto show is the opportunity to actually drive the vehicles,” said OIAS Executive Director Greg Remensperger. “When attendees get behind the wheel, they’re not just looking at new cars and trucks — they’re actually experiencing the performance, comfort and the latest vehicle technologies. It’s an incredible value for consumers, especially those considering a purchase. And, this year, we’re excited to introduce our first-ever all-electric Ride & Drive.”
The 2026 OIAS runs Feb. 19-22 at the Oregon Convention Center and features multiple Ride & Drive opportunities on public streets surrounding the venue. Attendees can experience a range of EVs in real-world conditions, accompanied by knowledgeable product specialists who provide insights and answer questions throughout each drive.
Auto Show ticket holders can look forward to a diverse lineup of EVs showcasing power, luxury and efficiency from Toyota and Polestar. In addition, Portland General Electric (PGE) is sponsor a Ride & Drive featuring EVs from Chevrolet, Ford Motor Company, Hyundai, Kia and Rivian. Scheduled Ride & Drive vehicles include:
