The Chicago Auto Show will take place Feb. 14-22 at McCormick Place, 2301 S. Lake Shore Dr.

Called North America's largest auto show, the 2015 Chicago Auto Show spans more than 1 million square feet of floor space and will sport a range of domestic and imported passenger cars, trucks, sport-utility vehicles, minivans and concept cars. The Chicago Auto Show also features several indoor test tracks and outdoor ride-and-drive opportunities.

The black-tie "First Look for Charity" event, slated for Feb. 13, stands as one of Chicago's greatest one-day fundraisers, regularly generating more than $2 million for 18 area nonprofits. Vehicle giveaways this year are the 2015 Ford Explorer and a 2015 Ford Fusion. Among this year's beneficiaries are Special Olympics Illinois, Advocate Sherman Hospital, the Jesse White Tumblers and March of Dimes.

The website has undergone a change. Building on last year's re-design, the website now features social-media integration, historical videos and larger image galleries.

Some of the key features include "About the Show," which includes directions, show dates and times, interactive displays, special guest appearances and more; "Vehicles on Display," a comprehensive listing of the new 2014 and 2015 models, concept cars and new-product reveals; and "Multimedia," with a virtual tour, photo galleries and the latest news via its official blog.

Admission is $12 for adults, $6 for seniors age 62 and older and children ages 7-12, and free for children under 7. Tickets are available at the show box office at McCormick Place and on Drivechicago.com.
