The 2027 New York International Auto Show is expected to take place in late March to early April 2027 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. Based on ticketing listings currently available, the show opens March 30, 2027. Official confirmed public dates from the NYIAS organization have not yet been announced as of mid-2026, but the show follows a consistent annual schedule that makes the window predictable.
Here is everything confirmed and what to expect based on the show's established format.
2027 New York Auto Show: What We Know So Far
Third-party ticketing platform AXS currently lists the 2027 NY Auto Show starting Tuesday, March 30, 2027 at 10:00 AM at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, 429 11th Avenue, New York, NY 10001. The show traditionally runs for ten days, which would put the closing date around Sunday, April 8, 2027, though this is not yet officially confirmed.
The 2026 show ran from April 3 to April 12, with press days on April 1 and 2 before public opening. The 2025 show ran through April 27. The NYIAS consistently holds its public run across ten days in late March or early April. The 2027 show's March 30 opening would be consistent with this pattern.

Location and Hours (Based on Established Format)
The show is held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, 11th Avenue between 34th and 40th Streets in Manhattan. It is accessible by subway, bus, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North, NJ Transit, and Amtrak, and has partnered with SpotHero for discounted parking in surrounding garages.
Based on recent years the typical daily hours are Monday through Thursday 10am to 8pm, Fridays and Saturdays 10am to 10pm, and Sundays 10am to 7pm. Early access ticket holders typically get in one hour before general admission. These hours are subject to change for 2027 and should be confirmed at autoshowny.com when the official schedule is posted.
Tickets and Pricing
General admission to the 2026 show was $22 for adults and $8 for children ages 3 to 12. Children under 3 are typically free. Prices for 2027 have not been announced. Early access tickets that allow entry one hour before general opening are available at a premium above general admission. All tickets are valid for a single day of entry.
If you find the show listed on a third-party resale marketplace at prices significantly above $25 to $30, you're looking at marked-up resale. The face value ticket from the official NYIAS site or autoshowny.com will always be significantly cheaper. Third-party listings for this show have been seen as high as $325 on resale platforms.

What to Expect at the 2027 Show
The New York Auto Show has been running since 1900, making it North America's oldest and largest-attended auto show. It draws over one million attendees annually. The 2026 show featured 28 manufacturers including Acura, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford, Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lamborghini, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo among others.
World and North American debuts are a consistent feature. At the 2026 show, global premieres included the 2027 Kia EV3, the all-new 2027 Volkswagen Atlas, and the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica refresh. Genesis debuted the G90 Wingback Concept and GV60 Magma. The 2027 show will similarly anchor major new model reveals for vehicles entering production in the following model year.
Test tracks are a highlight for hands-on attendees. The 2026 show featured four separate tracks: Camp Jeep, Bronco Built Wild Ride, an EV Test Track, and a Hyundai Test Track. The 2027 configuration will depend on manufacturer participation but a similar hands-on component is expected.
The Golden Era exhibit, which showcases cars from the 1950s, and the Exotic Vehicle Booth by Manhattan Motorcars are recurring specialty attractions that have appeared at multiple recent shows. The specialty exhibit lineup changes year to year but the format of combining major manufacturer halls with specialty displays has been consistent for years.
Press Days vs Public Days
The show runs press and industry preview days in the two days before public opening. This is when world premieres are announced and major manufacturer press conferences take place. Public attendees don't have access to press days. If you want to see debut coverage before attending, the NYIAS YouTube channel and automotive press outlets publish the major reveals from press day in real time.
For the general public, the first weekend of the public run tends to be the busiest. Midweek days in the second week typically have shorter lines and more floor space. If you want to spend time with specific vehicles rather than working through crowds, a Tuesday or Wednesday in the second week is usually the best option.
After the Show
The New York Auto Show is one of the best places in the country to see new and concept vehicles in person before most people have access to them. If you see something at the show that you want to rate against the competition, submit it to WhipJury and see how the crowd reacts to the designs before they hit dealerships. A world premiere at NYIAS is exactly the kind of first look that generates strong faceoff opinions.
