Almost every manufacturer has news to make in Los Angeles, but several automakers stand
out with multiple global premieres of significant new vehicles.
Audi is planning one of its biggest LA Auto Shows to date, with up to eight total debuts, three
of which are global, all to be presented by chairman of the board, Rupert Stadler. MercedesBenz will feature three world premieres, which will be showcased alongside the brand’s two
North American debuts, while Porsche will hold several world reveals. Mazda will feature
three global premieres, one of which is an all-new vehicle. BMW has confirmed two world
debuts and three North American debuts, and Chevrolet has also committed to two global
premieres.
Cadillac has already announced its world reveal of the high-performance 2015 ATS-V, while
Chrysler plans to introduce its completely refreshed 300 and 300C models.
Scion also recently announced its plans for a global premiere of an all-new vehicle. Other
brands making big statements with world premieres include Acura, Lexus, Toyota and
Volkswagen. A few other brands that are keeping their plans under wraps are expected to
add to LA’s roster of global premieres.
At least a dozen manufacturers have confirmed North American introductions, including Land
Rover, who will reveal its all-new 2015 Discovery Sport crossover. Also expected are the MINI
hardtop four-door and the Superleggera Vision concept, a redesigned Kia Sorrento, the
convertible versions of the 228i and M235i from BMW, the Mitsubishi XR-PHEV concept
vehicle and a dramatic statement by Volvo, who is re-launching its entire brand with the
introduction of the second generation XC90, the company’s first model in four years. Fiat,
Infiniti and Nissan are also verified to make North American debuts.
Volvo’s “Drive Me” autonomous vehicle will also make its North American premiere on the
Connected Car Expo (CCE) show floor on Nov. 18, with executives discussing the car’s
progressive autopilot technology. For the second consecutive year, the LA Auto Show’s CCE
will take place in conjunction with Press & Trade Days and will feature 80 presenting experts,
