The countdown has officially begun for Jamaica Auto Show 2025, launched in grand style on April 29 at the S Hotel in New Kingston.

Taking place from May 10–11 at the National Arena and Indoor Sports Complex, the event brings together the biggest names in the automotive industry for two days of excitement, innovation, and family fun.

Organisers of the 2025 show promise a dynamic and immersive experience featuring the latest in vehicle technology, electric mobility, auto financing solutions, accessories, insurance offerings, and entertainment for all ages.

“This is the biggest auto show Jamaica has ever experienced. Our vision was to create a unified platform that brings together all the major players in the automotive industry—and we’re proud to say we’ve achieved just that. So far, we have over 25 automotive dealers and counting, along with more than 40 vendors participating,” said Melissa Tulloch, director of the Jamaica Auto Show.

“We’re especially grateful to our sponsors for making this possible. Attendees can look forward to four dedicated concourses across the National Arena and the National Indoor Sports Complex. Concourses 1 and 2 will host automotive brands showcasing their latest domestic passenger vehicles alongside vendors and sponsors. Concourse 3 will feature vintage car collectors, bikes, go-karts, and more, while Concourse 4 will showcase a robust lineup of industrial and commercial vehicles. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience for car lovers, families, and industry professionals alike,” she added.

Horace Watson, product owner at CIBC Caribbean, one of the event’s key sponsors, noted:

“As proud sponsors, we are thrilled to support this dynamic two-day event that brings together the best in automotive innovation, performance, and choice—all under one roof. Whether you’re a seasoned car enthusiast, a first-time buyer, or simply exploring what’s new, this event promises something for everyone.”

“At CIBC Caribbean, we believe a vehicle is more than just transportation—it’s a gateway to freedom, progress, and opportunity. That’s why we are committed to providing flexible auto financing options and expert guidance to help you take the next step in your journey. We’re here to support you every mile of the way—helping to make your ambition of vehicle ownership real.”

“Part of what makes our contribution to the societies and economies where we operate such a rich experience is the relationships we are able to cultivate—not only with our clients, but with other partners in the community. So, we are especially pleased that a variety of auto dealers are represented at this year’s show, each bringing their own unique brand and offering to suit every pocket and lifestyle.”

“The Jamaica Auto Show is the perfect opportunity for Jamaicans to take that next step—and we’re proud to be part of that journey. With great rates, flexible financing, and a dedicated team ready to support, we’re here to make your dream drive a reality,” he added.
