The 2026 Vancouver International Auto Show (VIAS) has officially wrapped, setting a new attendance record for a third consecutive year. Nearly 140,000 attendees visited the 300,000 square feet of exhibitor space, highlighted by a handful of vehicles debuting on Canadian soil for the first time. Here are three of Darpan’s picks from the event.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary just a few months ago, the sixth-generation version of Honda’s Comfortable Runabout Vehicle is updated for 2026, receiving a subtle refresh and a rugged TrailSport Hybrid variant.
