From Toyota’s Century luxury expansion to Kia’s Telluride redesign, here’s what actually debuted at 2025’s biggest fall auto shows
TLDR
Tokyo’s 2025 Japan Mobility Show delivered concepts and future tech: Toyota’s Century brand expanding into ultra-luxury, Lexus showing six different concepts, Honda previewing hot hatch EVs. Los Angeles focused on production vehicles Americans will actually buy: 2027 Kia Telluride, Hyundai ELEXIO electric SUV, refreshed Honda Passport. Tokyo previewed 2027-2030. LA showed 2026-2027. Both delivered debuts worth tracking.
Most auto shows split between aspirational concepts and next-year production vehicles. Tokyo and LA just made that division official – Japan brought the dreams, America brought the deliverables.
