Every year, as the nice weather finally blesses Metro Vancouver, the Vancouver International Auto Show takes the public by storm. And this year’s show is no different. In fact, it’s one of the most coveted years for car enthusiasts everywhere.
This may be because there are many new and progressive brands from some of the world’s most popular automakers presenting this year. But we think it’s more likely to be because some of the newest and coolest hybrid makes will be offering you the ability to test drive their cars at Elevate: Vancouver’s automotive experience.
Elevate is Western Canada’s biggest car show, though they will most definitely be showing much more than just cars. This year’s line-up of vehicle makes is extensive, and the vehicles will be amazing.

Hybrid Test Drives at the Vancouver International Auto Show
Without a doubt, the most popular event at Elevate will be the ability to test drive virtually any of the latest hybrid models.
These models, by the way, also happen to offer up-front incentives at the time of purchase.
If you’ve been considering switching from a gas-powered vehicle into an electric, this may be the weekend for you. Clean BC will be offering point-of-sale incentives ranging between $2000 and $4000, depending on the type of EV you are buying.
Plug-in hybrid models receive an instant rebate of $2000, while battery and fuel-cell electric vehicles qualify for incentives up to $4000. The rebate program is one that is implemented by the New Car Dealers Association of BC on behalf of the BC Provincial Government.
If you’ve been thinking about making the switch to electric, make sure you sell your current vehicle to Cash For Cars BC to get the MOST cash for it. No dealership, including the ones offering sale prices can offer more cash for cars than we can.
