Cadillac is sitting out the 2022 Chicago Auto Show, once again electing not to attend after skipping the show in 2021 and 2020 as well. Cadillac’s decision not to attend the 2022 Chicago Auto Show could be seen as an odd choice given the luxury marque’s chief rivals will have a presence, including Lincoln, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
Although Cadillac isn’t in attendance in 2022, the three other General Motors U.S. brands are there, including Buick, Chevy, and GMC. A selection of GM vehicles on display includes:
GM’s crosstown rivals, Ford and Stellantis, are also in attendance, as are Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, and Volkswagen, among others.
In addition to vehicle displays, the Chicago Auto Show will offer attendees six test tracks and three test drive areas, as well as a long list of vendors.
The 2022 Chicago Auto Show is held at the McCormick Place Convention Center, located at 2301 S. King Drive. The show is underway now, first kicking off February 12th, and scheduled to run until February 21st. Tickets are priced at $15 for adults, and $10 for children (4 to 12 years old) and seniors (62+ years old). Children 3 years old and under are admitted free of charge.
Last year’s show was originally slated to begin in February, but was delayed to July as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Buick, Cadillac, and GMC elected not to attend.
First held in 1901, the Chicago Auto Show is one of the largest automotive shows in North America, covering more than one million square feet of floor space at the McCormick Place complex. This year marks the 114th installment of the show and draws about 100,000 visitors every year.
One of the most important shows for GM this year has been the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), during which GM unveiled the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV, as well as several new concepts, including EV and AV concepts for Cadillac. GM CEO Mary Barra provided a keynote speech at CES, after which GM stock value rose to record new highs.

Then you shouldn’t have one.
Benz and Audi skipped the show also. Not much to look at. In a few years there will be no more auto show. Sad.
Is it just me or does this post only begin to make sense if you read it with a Russian accent?
I think you need to be as loaded as the author. Some can handle their weed and there are those poor souls who simply can’t. . .
you know ,, instagram GM Design with a rendering there ,,, but common we need a high stairs to climb up the canyon … really can not buy a car following those renderings
Don’t worry I’m sure the stupid online only reveals that amass 500 total viewers will lead to big sales figures
Missed opportunity. Show us the supercharged Escalade and upcoming EV’s.
Get your facts straight. They were there in 2020. One reason we went, so I could check out the CT5. Also the C8. Show was right before the meltdown. There was a beautiful black V on a rotating stage and several to sit in. And the factory reps knew their stuff. Wife and I are regulars, but not this year. No Audi, MB, Cadillac, and the big push for EV, why bother.
One more GM blunder!
Also, they couldn’t skip the show in 2021. There was no Feb. show.

The 2021 Chicago Auto Show was held in July. Chevy was the only GM brand there.
Conspicuous by absence. Nothing to show I guess? Sad. Way to go Mary.
Considering that Lyriq’s are supposed to start shipping to customers like myself in less than 60 days, I agree that Cadillac’s absence is quite conspicuous. The amount of information available on a $60000 vehicle that’s about to go into customers hands is very concerning. The most recent info coming from Cadillac was a blurry photo posted on Linked-In showing a vehicle coming off of the assembly line. Why wasn’t that vehicle at the Chicago show?
Meanwhile, Ford is allowing YouTubers like Kyle Conner to go thru the entire Infotainment system of the F-150 Lightning completely unsupervised at the Chicago show. The F-150 Lightning was announced almost 9 months after the Lyriq.
Also, the random videos of prototype Lyriqs on the streets with taped charging doors and missing/mismatched body panels is not inspiring any confidence. I hope that Cadillac doesn’t expect reservation holders to just show up and drive off with whatever the dealer hands them keys to.
Cady wasn’t there. Neither was Audi, Lexus, Nissan, Acura and a few others. I didn’t go the last two years but this years was half the size of 2019.
