Cars.Com Releases Its American-Made Vehicle Index Amid Trump Tariffs
is posting its annual American-made vehicle index amid the Trump administration's tariffs intended to increase U.S.-made content for cars and trucks. The company released its findings today. The company conducted an embargoed Automotive Press Association briefing on June 11 in Birmingham, Michigan. evaluated 99 models for U.S. content. At the top for U.S. content is Tesla Inc.'s Model 3. The Texas-based electric-car maker held the first four slots in the analysis. Other models near the top were the Jeep Gladiator, the Kia EV6 and Honda Motor Co. models the Ridgeline, Odyssey, and Passport. 'International automakers make up 67% of vehicles on the list,' Patrick Masterson, a researcher said at the Automotive Press Association briefing. Not everyone knows how much U.S. content international brands have in their vehicles, he said. Still, said U.S.-based automakers still have a lot of American content. For example, Detroit-based General Motors Co. accounted for 15% of the index. The annual survey may take on more importance than in previous years. The Trump administration is emphasizing tariffs as a way to boost U.S. manufacturing. Tariffs are levied on imported goods. They are not paid from one country to another. Instead, importers pay a tax. The importers typically pass those costs onto customers. Vehicle prices will probably rise 'based on current policies,' David Greene, principal industry analyst, said at the APA briefing. 'The tariff picture is changing,' Greene added. says its survey says consumers are willing to pay more for cars and trucks, at least up to a point, if that results in more U.S. manufacturing jobs. The question is, 'Can consumers absorb further price increases on vehicles?' Greene said. The Trump administration also wants to de-emphasize electric vehicles. The administration of former President Joseph Biden wanted to boost EV deliveries. says electrification of vehicles is still expanding. 'It's happening,' Masterson said. 'It's slow.' says the auto industry overall is a major driver of the U.S. economy. 'No matter where a vehicle ranks' on the survey 'it has an impact on the American economy,' Masterson said.

These Are The Vehicles Data Shows Are The ‘Most American' For 2025
The Tesla Model 3 was named the "most American" car for 2005 based on a study conducted by In decades past, the concept of 'Buy American' with regard to car, truck and SUV purchases was largely patriotic, supporting domestic automakers and their union autoworkers against the onslaught of what had been a tsunami of increasingly popular import models reaching U.S. shores in the 1980's. It's now becoming a crucial financial consideration, thanks to import tariffs being slapped on vehicles and components imported from other countries. In addition to vehicles imported directly to the U.S., this includes domestic-branded cars and trucks assembled in Canada and Mexico, and the multitude of parts sourced from China, not to mention a hefty tariff being slapped on imported steel. Some brands say they are in the position to absorb the added costs, at least for the time-being, while others will have no choice but to pass along all or part of the tariffs on to consumers and/or readjust their model mixes accordingly. Sources predict hikes to wind up as high as $5,000 to $10,000 on imported vehicles and $2,000-$3,000 on those built within U.S. borders. What will surely muddy the proverbial waters for consumers is the fact that the lines between what is a domestic and what is an import vehicle have narrowed considerably over the years. More Asian and European brands (Hyundai, Kia, BMW, etc.) have been setting up shop to both build and sell vehicles to U.S. car buyers and even export them to other countries. The traditional 'Big Three' domestic brands now build or all or part of certain vehicle lines in Canada (Chevrolet Silverado 1500) and Mexico (Ford Maverick, GMC Sierra 1500), with some crossing borders more than once on the way to dealers' showrooms. Some are imported entirely from other countries like South Korea (Buick Encore GX and Envista), and are rebranded for U.S. sales To help consumers make informed choices in this regard, and being especially valuable to help them skirt as much as any added-on tariff costs as possible, has compiled its annual American-Made Index that details which cars, trucks and SUVs can be considered the 'most-American' vehicles for the 2025 model year. The study found that Tesla vehicles are by far the purest domestic rides on the road, with the Models 3, Y, S and X topping the list in that order. Eight models among the top 20 come from Honda/Acura, which in and of itself shatters the notion of what is and what isn't a true American vehicle. Two of the only three domestic-badged entries among the top 20 come from Jeep, a brand with bona fide patriotic roots, with the other being the Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck. Counting the Teslas, seven of the 20 most American models are either full electric or hybrid-powered models. However, what most might consider the most American vehicle of all, the industry's top-selling Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck, winds up at number 37 on the website's domestic-content list. That's 30 places below the seventh-ranked midsize car-based Honda Ridgeline pickup by virtue of the latter being built exclusively in the U.S. using higher percentages of domestic content. The lowest-ranked domestic-badged model is the full-electric Cadillac Lyriq, sitting at number 98 out of 99 vehicles ranked, with the list being anchored by the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. only sitting above the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in this regard. Of note, all of the 99 models on the Most American list have at some component of final assembly in the U.S. You can find Most-American Index with all 99 models ranked here. Ratings are based on five key factors graded on a 100-point basis: the location of final assembly; the U.S. manufacturing workforce employed (if any); the percentage of U.S. and Canadian-sourced parts; the country of origin for available engines and the countries of origin for available transmissions. Much of this information is required by federal law to be included on the pricing sticker affixed to all light-duty vehicles sold in the U.S.. Consumers can also long onto the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, which posts the percentages of domestic and foreign content in cars from past and current model years. One significant caveat, however, is that the above-mentioned labeling law treats Canadian (though not Mexican) parts and assembly as essentially coming from the U.S. The American Made Index helps to compensate for this anomaly by factoring in the countries of origin for engines and transmissions, as noted above, to more prominently weigh in a given model's two most cost-intensive components. Also, since federal requirements don't mandate calling it out, analyzes each automaker's domestic workforce that's directly involved in vehicle assembly and parts manufacturing, and factors that data against that manufacturer's U.S. output relative to the industry overall. Excluded are heavy-duty vehicles, low-production models and those not yet on the market as of spring 2023 or ones that are being discontinued or with production being moved overseas.

U.S. States With the Most EV Registrations
Sales of new electric vehicles continue to rise in the United States. According to the Argonne National Laboratory, Americans purchased approximately 1.5 million new battery-powered vehicles—both battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in 2024 (7 percent more than the year prior). Of that, BEVs accounted for around 1.2 million of those sales. But the overall adoption of EVs in the U.S. is not evenly distributed throughout the 50 states. Some states see few people annually registering EVs, while others account for the lion's share of registrations. Using the latest data (2023) supplied by the U.S. Department of Energy, we've gathered the 10 states with the most EV registrations. Scroll through to see if your state made the cut.
