The Chicago Auto Show is the largest auto show in North America and has been held more times than any other auto exposition on the continent.

Never-before-seen cars from KIA, GMC, Hyundai, Volvo and Buick will be featured. The show will most likely focus on mid-sized and compact cars. 

Fuel efficiency remains a hot topic among consumers as costs continue to rise. Safety is also among topics discussed, with Volvo pledging that by 2020 no one will be seriously injured or killed in one of their new vehicles.

The show is open to the public Friday through Sunday at the McCormick Place in Chicago.
