The 2022 Washington, D.C. Auto Show opened its doors to the public on January 21, offering an in-person event featuring displays of new models, classic cars, electric vehicles, and interactive experiences.
According to a Washington Auto Show news release, the event took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and included thousands of people through the weekend. The District of Columbia includes mask and vaccination proof mandates.
Displays came from OEMs such as Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Stellantis, Acura, Honda and Subaru, which “received an increased amount of foot traffic as guests checked out the all-new Toyota bZ4x, Toyota Tundra Capstone, Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, Chevy Corvette Z06, Honda Accord Hybrid, and the Subaru Solterra EV,” said the Washington Auto Show.
The event also included Subaru’s pet adoption event known as Subaru Loves Pets, along with other indoor and outdoor experiences and activities. Consumers were able to test a number of electric vehicles during the show as well.
“Closing out day two of the auto show was a check presentation by the Washington Area Hyundai Dealers who donated a total of $100,000 to both Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and Children’s National Hospital to fund pediatric cancer research and COVID-19 testing,” said the Washington Auto Show.
The donation was part of the local Hyundai dealerships and the Auto Show’s efforts to help fight pediatric cancer through the OEM’s Hyundai Hope on Wheels event.
The show will continue through January 30, 2022.
