LA Auto Show 2025: Tracking the EV and SUV Takeover

The LA Auto Show 2025 (held this year at the Los Angeles Convention Center from November 21st through the 30th) continues to wow with an emphasis on EV, SUVs, and CUVs. Lizeo was there on the scene during the Media and Industry Preview Day to capture the vibe of the show and to get a head start on updating new fitments that auto manufacturers are ushering into 2026.

EVs, SUVs, and CUVs were on Full Display ​

Many new passenger, CUV, SUV, and light truck models are hitting the market with manufacturers adjusting their focus to these models with continued changing consumer preferences in the North American market. In the LA AUTO SHOW 2025, there was no shortage in displaying these models at the show as this year’s show catered to an “outdoor/adventurous” type of crowd. Manufacturers like Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, and Jeep were on display with gas powered, hybrid, and EV models. In all, about 40% of the vehicle models displayed were of the EV or Hybrid powertrain type.

Closing ​

Concept and passenger sedans used to be the focus for manufacturers to showcase at auto shows. Now, there is more of a focus on the core of the consumer market where you see sports cars and sedans largely absent. As consumer preferences continue to shift, we at Lizeo will focus on making sure our databases are up to date and reflect this continuing adaptation in consumer automobile buying trends and tendencies.
