COLORADO AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION POSTPONES
2020 DENVER AUTO SHOW DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Colorado Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) has announced the postponement of the 2020 Denver Auto Show scheduled for April 2-5, 2020 at the Colorado Convention Center.
With COVID-19 spreading throughout communities in the state and Governor Polis cancelling all public gatherings of more than 250 people, CADA is now working on identifying dates to reschedule the Denver Auto Show later this year.
“We are concerned about the health of our staff, as well as those who work with the Convention Center, vehicle manufacturers, exhibitors, vendors, along with the tens of thousands of guests who attend each year,” said President and CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association Tim Jackson.
The Denver Auto Show is the largest annual consumer event at the Colorado Convention Center. With the news of the virus spreading, Jackson added, “we knew we had to take action and couldn’t move forward with the show in early April under current circumstances.”
New dates have not yet been confirmed for the Denver Auto Show, but a subsequent announcement will be made when the Denver Auto Show is rescheduled.

CADA Press Release
Colorado’s new vehicle registrations declined 2.8% in 2019
New vehicle registrations in Colorado declined 2.8 percent through December 2019 versus year to date in 2018. In contrast, the U.S. market was off 2.9 percent for all of 2019.
The Colorado Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) today released its “Colorado Auto Outlook,” covering data through December 2019, which shows that Colorado’s new vehicle market declined 2.8 percent on registrations of 201,713 new vehicles versus 207,602 in 2018. U.S. registrations declined 2.9 percent during the same period on 13,605,383 new vehicle registrations versus 14,007,852 in 2018.
CADA President Tim Jackson said, “Colorado’s new vehicle registrations in 2019 continue to track the national deceleration in vehicle sales. Light truck demand and luxury brands stayed positive, while compact cars and large cars showed the biggest declines. Electric and hybrid vehicles continued to stagnate at three-to-four percent of market share. On the upside, most Colorado consumers continued to purchase SUVs, crossovers and pickups and will continue to enjoy manufacturers’ incentives and low interest rates. On the macro statewide outlook, Coloradans are benefitting from a solid local and diversified economy, a strong labor market, growing wages and consumer confidence, all of which point to continued optimism in the auto retail market for the year ahead.”
Highlights
- Light truck registrations were up 0.6 percent through 2019, while passenger car registrations were down 14.8 percent.
- Registrations increased by more than 5 percent for RAM, Tesla, Lincoln, BMW and GMC.
- Colorado’s top five market share leaders in 2019 were Toyota, Subaru, Ford, Honda, Chevrolet and Jeep.
- Used vehicle registrations in Colorado increased 5.7 percent during the first 11 months of 2019 (only includes vehicles seven years old or newer).
- In related data, hybrid powertrain and electric vehicle market share for October and November 2019 only:
- Remained at less than 3.5 percent (electric);
- Remained below 4 percent (hybrid); and
- Remained below 1 percent for plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV).
The Colorado Auto Outlook was prepared for CADA by Auto Outlook, Inc., an independent automotive market research firm in Exton, Penn. All data represents new retail registrations in Colorado and excludes fleet transactions.
Editor’s Note: Registration numbers versus sales numbers run about two months behind, compared to actual sales. Year-to-date figures typically reflect market results. Monthly registration figures can fluctuate, resulting in over or under estimation of actual results, due to processing delays by governmental agencies.

CADA Press Release
Colorado’s new vehicle registrations declined -3.9% YTD
DENVER, Oct. 30, 2019—The Colorado Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) today released its “Colorado Auto Outlook,” which includes details on new car and light truck registrations year to date for 2019. The report shows that Colorado new vehicle registrations through September 2019 versus year to date in 2018 declined 3.9 percent.

CADA President Tim Jackson said, “Like driving in heavy snow, Colorado’s new vehicle registrations, year to date, have slowed. While some brands continue to show modest gains, the overall slowdown continues to affect the entire country. Colorado consumers still benefit from manufacturer’s incentives, low interest rates, and anticipation for new car and truck versions just in showrooms. Coloradans also continue to enjoy a solid local economy, strong labor market, growing wages and consumer confidence, which points to continued strength in the auto retail market.”
