WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether a car aficionado or not, the Washington, D.C. Auto Show is an experience for all and gives patrons of all ages a reason to attend. From interactive experiences to real-time art demonstrations on some of the industry's latest models, the convention center will have something for everyone to enjoy.

As the region's largest indoor event and one of the top auto shows in the United States, the 2022 Auto Show is the perfect platform for manufacturers to not only showcase their latest models, but allow their consumers to experience them firsthand. Arcimoto, a groundbreaking manufacturer, is hitting the show floor with an all-new indoor ride experience featuring their brand-new, three-wheel Fun Utility Vehicles. This new look of mobility is built for everyday driving as it transforms commutes into pure-electric joyrides, complete with a panoramic roof, removable doors, and heated seats. This thrilling ride, unlike any other vehicle on the market today, will be available in Hall B from January 21-30.

Exciting driving simulators, virtual-reality experiences, and interactive games will also be sprinkled into this year's programming. Visit the Pepco EVsmart display in Rotunda A to register for an outdoor EV Ride & Drive, allowing show guests the ability to experience how certain models handle the streets of the District. While you're there, learn about Pepco's EVsmart rebates, tools, and information you will need to charge faster, smarter, and more conveniently than ever before.

The "ART-of-Motion" Visual & Custom Auto Exhibition also returns for its 6th year. Partnering with Automotive Rhythms, a trendsetting urban automotive media group, ART-of-Motion is a design experience that befits the culture and imagination of the DC metro area. This extensive display will consist of experiential graphics, painted automobiles in real-time, custom motorcycles, and so much more.

Washington Convention Center requires all guests to wear a mask while inside, and show proof of vaccination upon entering the building (including proof of the first dose for children 12 and older).
