All the New Models From all the Top OEMs

Step into the halls of the Edmonton Motorshow and you’ll be met with heavyweights right off the bat. Ford and Chevrolet displays unveil the latest and greatest from each’s model lineup. Of course, the Silverado and F-150 reign supreme and draw inescapable focus to their latest editions, especially in their electric variants. Hop on over to Chevrolet’s compatriots with the GMC section, and the Hummer EV as a highlight, alongside elegant Buicks. If the electric future of automotive is what you’re after, the Nissan and Volkswagen sections are the perfect visit, especially with the sleek ARIYA and stop-you-in-your-tracks ID. Buzz (more on that in a moment…) Looking for luxury? It’s well-represented by the latest from Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Maserati. If you’re looking to step things up even further, gaze at the handful of Ferraris on display from Ferrari of Alberta.

Were you wondering about my favourites? Would you believe me if I said they were a couple of electric vans? Yes, I realize that may be a crime to say in the land of pickups here in Alberta, but let me explain myself. Where the pickups, sedans and SUVs blend together in a sea of motorshow presentation, it’s what’s truly unique that stands out in such a flourish of vehicles. Many vehicles peg themselves as “head-turning,” a few actually live up to that moniker, but the Volkswagen I.D. Buzz does just that with vibrant two-tone colours that truly bring this old school icon into the modern age, and that’s not even to mention the all-electric capabilities. Speaking of, another standout, and a representation of said push into an all-electric world, is a van more fit for your business needs, the Chevrolet Brightdrop. This electric walk-in van is seriously large and in-charge, fit to be a spacious and economical van for any company. To top it all off, it’s proudly made in Canada, doing so at the first full-scale EV plant here in Canada.

As a bonus sign of the times, and letting you know where your future dollar may be going, many models displayed either “Made in Canada” markings or “tariff-free” stickers, so you can be sure to support locally.
