Chicago Auto Show returns with new car overviews and family ticket info

The Chicago Auto Show returns on February 6, but organizers and automakers haven't announced any major premieres yet. The schedule lists overview presentations of "new cars" from Kia, Stellantis, and Toyota, though this likely refers to existing models rather than new debuts.

No significant press conferences have been confirmed so far. Media previews will last just six hours, with the media center and exhibit floor closing at 2:00 PM. For press attendees, a U.S. Army MRE snack is separately scheduled at 1:00 PM.

The public portion of the Chicago Auto Show runs from February 7 to 16. Adult tickets (ages 13+) cost $20, while children ages 4–12 and seniors over 65 pay $15 before taxes and fees. Children under three get in free. Overall, a family of four might spend around $85.30 to $97.48, including additional expenses.
