LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2026

Nearly two dozen automotive brands span gas, hybrid, PHEV and electric vehicles
as the latest generation of available and forthcoming U.S.-market cars, trucks
and SUVs take center stage on November 20–29

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Los Angeles Auto Show®, presented by Chevron with Techron®, returns on Nov. 20–29, 2026 with nearly two dozen automotive brands and one of the broadest opportunities of the year for consumers to experience the rapidly changing new-vehicle market in one place.

Tickets to the 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show on sale now.

From affordable new vehicles across powertrains and surging consumer interest in hybrids to a resurgence in gas-powered options and an ever-evolving electric landscape, this year’s show brings together the choices shaping what Americans are buying now and what is arriving next. Consumers can sit, touch and compare vehicles from competing manufacturers side-by-side, speak directly with brand representatives without sales pressure and get behind the wheel through multiple test-drive and ride experiences, all included with admission.

The 2026 automotive lineup features vehicle showcases representing Acura, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Nissan, Porsche DTLA, Ram, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota and Volkswagen. 

“There has rarely been a more interesting time to shop for a new vehicle,” said Terri Toennies, President of Los Angeles Auto Show. “Consumers are weighing powertrain, technology, capability and price more than ever before. The LA Auto Show offers what online research and single dealerships can’t: the chance to compare brands side-by-side and find the right fit.”

A NEW GENERATION OF VEHICLES

The 2026 show arrives during one of the most active periods for new vehicle introductions in recent years. Growing hybrid demand is accelerating the expansion of electrified options across nearly every vehicle category, while automakers simultaneously advance gasoline, plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles simultaneously.

DRIVE BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Outdoor street drives will once again give attendees the opportunity to take participating vehicles onto the streets of downtown Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the LADWP Test Track outside the Los Angeles Convention Center’s South Hall will focus on electric and hybrid vehicles from multiple manufacturers, allowing consumers the opportunity to experience competing electrified powertrains back-to-back.

Inside and around the Convention Center, capability-focused ride experiences include Ford Bronco Built Wild and the Camp Jeep Adventure Course, while Nissan will offer an indoor ride experience in South Hall.

Participating test drive and ride brands currently include Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Jeep, Kia, Lucid, Nissan, Ram, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota and Volkswagen. Specific test drive vehicles will be announced closer to the show.

Every drive and ride is included with admission, giving consumers the chance to go from viewing a vehicle to experiencing how it performs on the road or over a purpose-built course.

ONE PLACE TO COMPARE WHAT’S NEXT

For consumers actively shopping for their next vehicle, the scale of the Los Angeles Auto Show creates a comparison-shopping environment difficult to replicate anywhere else. The surge in hybrid demand only expanded those choices, making side-by-side powertrain comparisons increasingly valuable.

Guests can move directly from a truck to a three-row family SUV, compare gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, explore models across vastly different price points, experience new technology and talk with product specialists representing competing brands, all without the pressure of a traditional sales environment.

For enthusiasts and families, the experience extends beyond shopping, featuring custom and classic vehicles, cutting-edge technology, Southern California car culture, interactive experiences, kid-friendly activities and nearly one million square feet to explore.

The 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show runs Nov. 20–29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. AutoMobility LA®, the show’s global media and industry day, takes place November 19. Public day tickets for the 10-day consumer show are on sale at LAAutoShow.com

TACO BELL® REMIXES HORCHATA AS LIVE MÁS CAFÉ EXPANDS INTO NEW MARKETS

PR Newswire

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2026

TLDR:

  • Strong Live Más Café performance is fueling Taco Bell’s next phase of beverage growth, giving the brand confidence to expand the concept and accelerate innovation as it works toward its goal of $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
  • On October 15, Live Más Café is remixing the beloved flavor of horchata across three distinct beverage formats: Chiller, Cold Brew and Refresca, with select sips expanding to Taco Bell restaurants nationwide in December.
  • Later this year, Live Más Café will enter the greater Indianapolis area, continue growing its Southern California footprint, and introduce a first-of-its-kind flagship Café on the Las Vegas Strip.
  • Live Más Café assets can be found HERE.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Taco Bell is pouring more into beverages. Fueled by strong Live Más Café performance, the brand is kicking off the concept’s next chapter with new sips, new markets and more ways to explore what fans want to drink next.

On October 15, Taco Bell will introduce four new horchata-inspired sips at Live Más Café locations, bringing its take on the beloved flavor to three distinct formats. From the creamy, frozen Purple Horchata Chiller to the coffee-forward Chocolate Horchata Cold Brew Float, and the fruity, refreshing Strawberry and Vanilla-Spiced Horchata Refrescas, the four-drink lineup offers something for every kind of beverage craving.

At the same time, Live Más Café is growing alongside its menu. Later this year, the concept will make its debut in the greater Indianapolis area, expand its Southern California footprint, and introduce a first-of-its-kind flagship in Las Vegas. The expansion marks an important next chapter for Live Más Café, which has quickly evolved from a single test location into a powerful business driver for Taco Bell. Over the past year, Café locations have delivered favorable transaction growth, showing how the concept is creating new reasons for fans to visit Taco Bell.

“Our fans have always loved our beverages, and the response to Live Más Café has shown us they’re craving even more,” said Liz Matthews, Global Chief Food Innovation Officer at Taco Bell. “Seeing that excitement continue to grow across our Cafés tells us we’re onto something special, and we’re ready to take it even further with bold new drinks and more ways for fans to experience Live Más Café.”

Horchata, However You Want It
Taking inspiration from Mexican horchata, Live Más Café is reimagining the creamy, vanilla-spiced flavor fans know and love across three distinct beverage formats, each designed to satisfy a different kind of craving. Whether fans want something frozen and indulgent, coffee-forward, or fruity and refreshing, there’s a sip for that.

  • Purple Horchata Chiller: The head-turner of the lineup blends the creamy vanilla ice cream Chiller base with Taco Bell’s horchata syrup, topped with whipped cream and a purple horchata syrup drizzle. (Small $4.19* / Medium $4.59*)
  • Chocolate Horchata Cold Brew Float: Coffee meets horchata meets dessert. Smooth, bold, full-bodied Cold Brew sits beneath a blended mix of the Café’s signature Chiller base with our creamy, sweet, vanilla-spiced horchata syrup and churro crumbles, topped with a drizzle of rich Mexican-inspired dark chocolate syrup with warm cinnamon notes. (Small $4.79* / Medium $5.29*)
  • Strawberry Horchata Refresca: First previewed at Live Más LIVE 2026, this fruity remix combines a creamy and sweet, vanilla-spiced drink with hints of cinnamon, a swirl of wild strawberry syrup and mixed with pieces of real freeze-dried strawberries, served over ice. (Medium$4.19* / Large $4.59*)
  • Vanilla Spiced Horchata Refresca: A classic take on the signature flavor, featuring a creamy and sweet, vanilla-spiced drink with hints of cinnamon. (Medium $4.19* / Large $4.59*)

But this Live Más Café debut is just the first sip. On December 10, the Strawberry Horchata Refresca, Vanilla Spiced Horchata Refresca, and a new Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze will join Taco Bell menus nationwide for a limited time, giving fans across the country even more ways to enjoy horchata flavors, and reinforcing Live Más Café as Taco Bell’s hub for beverage innovation.

More Ways to Café
Live Más Café’s next phase will take shape differently across markets, from bringing the concept to new fans to reimagining what the Café experience itself can be.

In Las Vegas, Taco Bell is teaming up with longtime franchise partner Diversified Restaurant Group (DRG) to bring a one-of-a-kind destination to the Strip. Opening later this fall, the standalone Café will live inside a shipping container adjacent to the Las Vegas Taco Bell Cantina at 3717 S Las Vegas Blvd Ste 140-A. Beyond the concept’s 20+ specialty beverages, fans can get a taste of Vegas-exclusive spiked creations like the BOOZY MOUNTAIN DEW® BAJA BLAST® , Strawberry Passionfruit Refresca Rush and Cold Brew Cinnatini, plus shop exclusive Taco Bell merchandise only available at this location — making the flagship a must-visit destination for Taco Bell fans.

Across the greater Indianapolis area, Live Más Café will enter the new market with three locations. Two will be company-owned, while a third will be operated by KMAC Enterprises, the latest Live Más Café franchise development partner. The first of these Live Más Cafés will celebrate its grand opening on Thursday, October 22 at 252 E State Street in West Lafayette, with additional locations in Greenfield and Muncie planned to follow before the end of 2026.

Closer to home, Taco Bell will continue growing Live Más Café across Southern California through the remainder of the year. A Café will open at Century City Mall, with two additional Cafés planned for Irvine and Tustin later this year. The new Cafés build on the concept’s existing Southern California footprint, giving even more fans the opportunity to make specialty beverages part of their Taco Bell routine.

Sip, Test, Repeat
Since launching, Live Más Café has introduced almost two dozen new beverage innovations, including the You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast, which became the best-selling beverage launch in Live Más Café history. With approximately 1.3 million beverages sold to date and breakfast and afternoon emerging as the most popular dayparts, Live Más Café continues to build momentum, demonstrating the concept’s ability to create new Taco Bell occasions.

Each sip, test and learning is helping inform Taco Bell’s broader beverage strategy as the brand works toward its goal of reaching $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030. Live Más Café gives Taco Bell a place to experiment with new flavors and formats, learn what fans crave and understand what could have potential beyond Café walls.

And the experimentation isn’t just staying in the U.S. As Taco Bell continues growing internationally, the brand is exploring how its beverage learnings could translate to fans around the world.

Live Más Café currently has 39 locations across Southern California, Houston, Dallas, Indiana and Las Vegas. Additional opening details will be shared locally as each new Café gets ready to pour. Fans can find their nearest Live Más Café via the store locator.

“Our hospital is the only regional perinatal center in the Bronx, taking care of the highest risk pregnancies across the Bronx and part of Queens,” said Angela Gonzalez-Perez, MPA, FACHE, Vice President of Operations and Executive Director, Jack D. Weiler Hospital. “It was of the utmost importance for us to ensure that our patients experience a warm, welcoming environment where they can receive the finest care possible. Thanks to the tremendous support from New York State, this newly renovated space serves as the physical embodiment of our vision of being a premier academic medical center that transforms health and enriches lives.”

Enhancing Experiences for Bronx Patients

The modernized Unit includes state-of-the-art upgrades to L&D rooms with ensuite bathrooms; a reconfigured clinician team station and workflow; a modernized triage area with six triage bays and one evaluation triage bay; a modernized maternal surgical suite with a dedicated C-Section Post-Anesthesia Care Unit including four bays; and upgrades to the three Delivery Room Operating Rooms. Additionally, lighting has been enhanced throughout the Unit offering a more comfortable and soothing environment. Montefiore Einstein has also invested in remote monitoring tools to support the patients and clinical teams and is offering new food options to enhance the patient experience.

Under the leadership of Mark H. Einstein, M.D., M.S., who became the Chella and Moise Safra Endowed Chair, Department Chair of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Women’s Health in 2024, 26 new physicians specializing in areas including critical care obstetrics, adolescent medicine and onco-fertility, in addition to nurse practitioners and physician assistants have been on-boarded to support care. Services like universal depression screening in the hospital, collaborative care with reproductive psychiatry, a specialized postpartum outpatient clinic for individuals with medically complex or high-risk pregnancies, as well as a cardiac maternal medicine program also continue to grow. Dr. Einstein’s leadership team has been instrumental in the design of the newly unveiled Unit.

“With the new technology upgrades and redesigned workflows, we are equipped to take care of the most complex cases and do so in a beautiful new family friendly atmosphere,” said Rodney Wright, M.D., Vice Chair, Obstetrics.

“I couldn’t be prouder to unveil this unit and continue growing our department and offerings to support our patients and their loved ones,” said Mark H. Einstein, M.D., M.S., who is also a professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Women’s Health (Gynecological Oncology) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

The renovation of the L&D has been conducted in phases with no interruption to patient care. Five of the six phases are complete, with the final phase including renovations of the last two L&D rooms, plus a back service elevator upgrade, planned for completion in early 2027.
