The Houston Auto Show is now underway! It kicked off Wednesday Jan. 24th and runs through the 28th at Houston's NRG Center. The event is now formally known as the Houston AutoBoative Show, as it is now combined with the Houston Boat Show for the third year.

General Admission tickets are $20 and you can buy them online or at the door. Children under five years old are free.
The showroom floor will host the latest models from nearly 25+ new vehicle automakers. Expected manufactures include Buick, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, and VW. For a brand list click here.
Along with more than 200 outdoor-oriented vendors, there will be test drive experiences from automakers including Subaru, Ford and Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, and Ram.
This year the event is once again sponsored by Evolve Houston, who will provide the opportunity to test drive electric vehicles like the VW ID.4 and the Chevy Bolt. Click here for more on the EV Pavilion.
New for 2024, a Ford Bronco simulator will give attendees a feel for off-roading.
Super luxury and classic cars will also be on display.
In terms of watercraft, expect boating displays with cutting-edge designs and time-tested classics. This year, event organizers say the spotlight shines on several standout brands like the ‘world’s biggest bay boat,’ the Carolina Bay 3100, and the sleek new 2024 G25 Paragon from Nautique.
Other brands that will have a presence include LOWE Boats, known for their Aluminum Fish Boats, Triton Fiberglass Boats with their Bass Boats and Fish N Ski, Blazer high-performance boats, Solace, Tidewater, and Yellowfin, plus Mercury Outboards.
The Bass Tub with professional angler Chuck Devereaux is making a return to the show. Devereaux will conduct fishing demonstrations in a massive 5,000-gallon, 40-foot-long, 9-foot-tall Bass Tub aquarium fully stocked with rocks, stumps, and live fish.
