If you’re thinking of buying a new vehicle but don’t want to spend your weekend driving all over Kelowna to visit 18 dealerships, the Kelowna Automobile Dealers Association has exactly what you need.

KADA will once again be conducting the Kelowna New Car Dealers Auto Show this week at Orchard Park Shopping Centre. The four-day show begins today (Wednesday) and concludes on Saturday.

The city’s 18 dealerships will be putting more than 60 new vehicles in the public areas of the mall, allowing shoppers to kill several birds with one stone. They can grab that new pair of pants and check out the latest in vehicle luxury right outside the store.

“It’s a good opportunity that not a lot of people necessarily get unless you’re in a big metro city,” KADA president Jamie Kaban says. “If the weather’s crappy, you can shop in the warmth.”

Kaban, who is Kelowna Toyota’s general manager, said his dealership will be taking five 2020 vehicles to Orchard Park, including a Tacoma, Highlander, RAV4, Supra and Corolla.

Some of the dealerships will have representatives at the mall and will be able to provide information on the new vehicles or set up test drives.

“A lot of people are able to see the cars that maybe they wouldn’t have checked out otherwise,” Kaban says. “There is no better opportunity to be able to see so many different brands all in one convenient place."

The Kelowna New Car Dealers Auto Show will take place during Orchard Park Shopping Centre hours, which are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
