The LA Auto Show is full of sheet metal and eye candy, but there are a few new offerings you can see at the show that are worth highlighting.
These vehicles made their debuts recently, and they’re vehicles the automakers are expected to make available soon.
In no particular order, here’s our list and a little bit about each vehicle:
Although many automakers have adjusted their electric vehicle plans in recent months, Stellantis is powering ahead with a vehicle that gives enthusiasts who gravitate toward the Wrangler an electric option that goes beyond a hybrid.
Jeep unveiled the 2026 Jeep Recon ahead of the LA Auto Show, calling it the “only fully electric vehicle to be Trail Rated.”
