114th Syracuse Auto Expo returns to Oncenter February 16

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Start your engines! From Thursday, February 16 to Sunday, February 19, the Syracuse Auto Expo will return to the Oncenter.

Sponsored by SADA, the 114th Auto Expo will feature hundreds of vehicles throughout two buildings and three floors totaling 135,000 square feet inside the Oncenter. Check out the latest technology, efficiency, safety, comfort and styles that the vehicles in the show have to offer.

For the sixth time, the Toyota Drive Center wants you to experience some of their most popular vehicles. New this year, they are bringing all hybrid vehicles for licensed drivers to test drive! The vehicles include the Tundra Hybrid, Highlander Hybrid, Sienna AWD, and Sequoia.

To encourage pet adoptions, Subaru of America is partnering up with local shelters again this year during the show. Subaru has donated over $28 million to the ASPCA as its largest corporate sponsor and impacted the lives of over 250,000 pets nationwide. At the auto show, Subaru encourages everyone to visit their exhibit and consider adopting a pet. If you aren’t looking to adopt a pet, you can still make a donation to help pets in the community.

On Wednesday, February 15, the festivities will kick off with the 24th Annual Charity Preview. This event gives a first look at the show while raising money for 14 Central New York not-for-profit organizations at the same time. $4.3 million has been raised since the start of the “best party in town.”
