Published on January 16, 2026

Again this year, CAA-Quebec will be running electric vehicle (EV) road tests at the Montreal Auto Show, offering the public a chance to test some 30 models from 14 manufacturers. Show attendees will be able to learn about sophisticated modern vehicles and experience their exceptional performance and cutting-edge technologies, right on site.

Sneak peek: test drive the all-new Chevrolet Bolt 2027. The show is a unique opportunity to drive a vehicle that is not even on the market yet!

In addition, for the first time at the Montreal Auto Show, Audi will have an electric model available for test drives. BMW and Tesla are also back in the road test lineup.

“Between exclusive innovations, affordable models, and the return of flagship brands, this year’s show is a unique opportunity to put specifications to the test, with the support of CAA-Quebec experts.”
