After smashing attendance records last year, the 2025 Canadian International Auto Show is set to be one of the most action packed shows in recent history. Featuring over 80 exhibitors, spanning from local automotive dealer groups, to interactive family activities and expansive OEM displays, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre is set to be a hub of activity from Valentine’s Day until February 23rd. The Cars.ca team is pumped to get a glimpse of exclusive Canadian-market debuts and one-off concept vehicles from some of our favourite brands. Read on to learn about three things that we’re most excited to see at this year’s AutoShow.

Leave it to Kia to make their return to the Canadian International AutoShow as buzzworthy and notable as ever. The Korean automaker announced that its newest fully-electric crossover SUV – the 2025 Kia EV5 – will make its first public debut at this year’s AutoShow. Set to arrive at dealership floors in early 2026, the EV5 competes in the ever-so-popular compact crossover SUV segment. Taking styling cues from its award-winning Kia EV9 sibling, the EV5 embraces a more nimble, yet still incredibly practical five-seater SUV size. Be one of the first to see the 2025 Kia EV5 in-person at Level 300 in the North Building of the MTCC.
The modern iteration of Toyota’s iconic 4×4 off-roader, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner makes its Canadian debut at this year’s CIAS, and we’re more than excited to see it in the flesh. A beloved SUV with a cult-like following, the 4Runner has won the hearts of millions of Canadian fans like us because of its impeccable off-road capabilities, near endless aftermarket support, and reputation for Toyota reliability. We can’t wait to see this sixth-generation 4Runner and its much awaited redesign at Toyota’s booth on the 800 Level of the MTCC’s South Building.
We’re thrilled to experience the fully-immersive M-themed display at this year’s BMW’s booth that spans the entirety of the Level 600 concourse. The first-ever time that a single brand has taken over this prime spot that connects the MTCC’s North and South buildings, this “Level ///M” takeover promises to be “an experience that can’t be missed and surely won’t be forgotten”, as noted by a BMW Group Canada representative. What we’re most excited to see is the Canadian debut of the 2025 BMW M5 Touring, a much anticipated four-door shooting brake variant of the iconic BMW M5.
