The 2017 North American International Auto Show is upon us! While the show kicked off with The Gallery event on Saturday, January 7, the show has and will continue on with Automobili-D (Jan. 8-12), the press preview (Jan. 9-10) and the industry preview (Jan 11-12).

But, the heart of the show is the black-tie charity preview on January 13, followed by the public show January 14-22. The charity preview is an exclusive, high-profile event and has raised more than $106 million for children’s charities across Michigan.

The public show invites anyone and everyone interested in cars and what the future holds for the automotive industry. Tickets for the public show are $13 for adults and $7 for seniors (65 and older) and children ages 7-12. Children six and younger may attend for free with a parent or guardian.

For Chevrolet especially, the North American International Auto Show is where you’ll be able to get a first glimpse at the all new 2018 Chevy Equinox. The 2018 Equinox will join Chevy’s lineup of crossovers and SUVs with the likes of the Bolt EV, which was revealed at last year’s show, the Trax, the Traverse, the Tahoe and the Suburban. When it comes to space, the 2018 Equinox isn’t lacking any. Third-row legroom and cargo space are two areas where the Equinox is expected to be best-in-class. Additionally, the Equinox will have new technologies, like D-Optic headlamps, which provide a natural daylight effect.

Families are always on the go, and the Trailblazer combines safety, comfort and accessibility to fit your family's needs. Discover the available features that make Trailblazer an ideal family SUV.
