Kicking the Tires on a New Car? Buy It Now, Experts Say
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. If you're thinking about buying a new car, you might want to accelerate your timeline. That $48,000 SUV could cost you as much as $62,000 once 2026 models hit showrooms this fall—depending on where and how it's made. New tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are expected to sharply increase sticker prices on cars built overseas, with ripple effects expected even on domestically produced vehicles. Starting with the 2026 model year that typically debuts in the fall season, automakers are preparing to pass on billions of dollars in new costs to buyers, either directly or indirectly. "Automakers can only rely on existing inventories to deflect tariff costs for so long and shrinking profit margins — much like any other business — are not sustainable," said Diana L. Moss, vice president and director of competition policy at the Progressive Policy Institute, in an interview with Newsweek. Detroit's Big Three are projected to absorb close to 40 percent of total tariff-related costs in 2025, or about $7,000 per vehicle, Moss said. That includes cars assembled in the U.S. with a mix of imported parts. A breakdown of tariff costs across the industry shows how sharply the impact varies: about $4,000 per vehicle for those with high U.S. "content," $6,500 for mixed-content vehicles, $11,000 for cars with heavily European or Asian parts, and $14,000 for models built entirely overseas. "Over the longer term, or until the policy is rolled back, this could change the mix of the U.S. automobile fleet," Moss added. "That could affect everything from U.S. automobile production to automobile technology and environmental impact." Vehicles are offered for sale at a General Motors dealership on July 22, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. Vehicles are offered for sale at a General Motors dealership on July 22, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. Photo byOnly Bad Options Tariff costs are starting to bite, and automakers are running out of room to absorb them. Warren Browne, former GM executive and head of RFQ Insights, said duties will average $1,700 to $1,900 per vehicle this year and could hit $2,200 by 2026. "That is an enormous number," Browne told Newsweek. "It represents 30 to 40 percent of what GM makes per vehicle in the U.S." At that point, companies will be faced with two options, Browne said, neither of them good. "If they absorb the cost, they hurt shareholder value and future investment. If they raise prices, they lose sales. The question is: who bears the pain—shareholders or employees?" So far, automakers have mostly held the line. July data from Edmunds showed average prices up less than 2 percent year-over-year. That's expected to change in September as 2026 models arrive on dealer lots. "Passing on costs is about when and how," Moss said. "The 2026 model year is the likely window, with new models rolling out at higher prices."

This image from April 2, 2025 shows President Donald Trump announces global tariffs in the Rose Garden at the White hikes won't always appear on MSRP stickers. Automakers are already shifting costs by cutting lower trims, bundling features into pricier packages and raising destination fees and loan rates to skirt eye-popping sticker prices. "Destination charges are already up $100 to $200 across the top 39 volume models I track," Browne said. "Base trims are disappearing, and mid-tier models are becoming the new entry level. This is exactly what Japanese automakers did during the voluntary export restraint era." Trump's tariffs also hit critical inputs like steel and aluminum, which are now taxed at 50 percent. Auto parts that once carried a 2.5 percent tariff are up to 25 percent. These spikes ripple through the supply chain but ultimately land with the buyer. "There are many ways to pass on tariff costs," Moss said. Browne expects sticker prices to jump 6.3 percent industrywide with the 2026 model year. "Think October—that's when they'll start making moves," he said. "If you want a car, buy now, before trims vanish and prices rise." Used cars, which already started to see their prices skyrocket during the pandemic, won't escape either. As new vehicles get more expensive, fewer drivers will trade in, tightening supply and pushing used prices higher. Easing Pressure The U.S. and European Union outlined a preliminary trade agreement Thursday that imposes a 15 percent import tax on most EU exports to the United States—but stopped short of confirming when or whether the current 27.5 percent tariff on European cars will actually fall. "With respect to automobiles, the United States and the European Union intend to accept and provide mutual recognition to each other's standards," the joint statement read. But until the EU enacts legislation on its side of the agreement, no changes to auto tariffs have taken effect. The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) cautiously welcomed the announcement. "This confirmation is a positive step that provides greater certainty for our industry," said Sigrid de Vries, ACEA's Director General, in a statement shared with Newsweek.

Getty Images "It is now crucial that the Commission proceeds to implement the EU's commitments without delay, mitigating the tariff impact which already has cost automakers millions of euros in duties every day." If implemented, the 15 percent rate would mark a significant drop from President Donald Trump's threat of 30 percent blanket tariffs and would nearly halve the existing 27.5 percent tariff on EU auto imports. But the uncertainty is already impacting automakers. Germany, the EU's largest vehicle exporter to the U.S., has expressed concern about the rising cost burden and lack of clarity around implementation. The country exported about 431,000 vehicles to the U.S. last year, roughly 3 percent of the American auto market, according to S&P Global Mobility. Still, the effect of tariffs is magnified for automakers with high foreign content. U.S. manufacturers, meanwhile, are recalibrating around higher-margin domestic models. Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep and Dodge, is betting on its 2026 Dodge Ram 1500 truck lineup to cushion the blow from escalating costs.

Hong Kong's bourse operator posts record interim profit amid city's IPO, stock market boom
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) set records for second-quarter and first-half earnings amid a boom in initial public offerings (IPOs) and sizzling stock market turnover, according to a stock exchange filing on Wednesday. Second-quarter net profit for the operator of Asia's third-largest stock market rose 41 per cent to HK$4.44 billion (US$569 million), or HK$3.51 per share, from the previous second-quarter high of HK$3.16 billion in 2024. This is the second consecutive quarterly record profit for the HKEX. That propelled the exchange's six-month profit to a record HK$8.52 billion, 39 per cent higher than last year, according to HKEX, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. The result beat analysts' estimates and surpassed the previous record profit of HK$6.93 billion in the second half of 2024.

"HKEX started 2025 from a position of strength, reporting the group's best-ever half-yearly revenue and profit," said CEO Bonnie Chan Yiting in a media briefing.

The strong results vindicated the preparations that the HKEX had made during the fallow years since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, involving upgrades to its trading infrastructure and updates in its listing rules.

The exchange operator's shares rose 1.7 per cent to close at HK$441.20 on Thursday after the results were announced. They have risen 47 per cent this year, outperforming the 25 per cent gain in the benchmark Hang Seng Index.

Photo: Aileen Chuang> HKEX will pay an interim dividend of HK$6 per share, 38 per cent higher than a year earlier. The earnings growth was driven by a 33 per cent increase in first-half revenue, which reached a record high of HK$14.08 billion. This included a 49 per cent jump in trading and settlement fees compared with last year. Average daily turnover soared 132 per cent to HK$238.4 billion in the second quarter and 118 per cent to HK$240.2 billion in the first half. HKEX benefited from global investors switching to the relative safety of Hong Kong-listed stocks of mainland Chinese companies amid US tariff policies and a weaker US dollar. Funds from across the border also piled into Hong Kong-listed stocks. Exchange Square in Hong Kong on May 20, 2025, the location of the Hong Kong stock exchange.

Meanwhile, listing fees increased 12.6 per cent in the first half, the bourse operator said. Funds from Hong Kong IPOs soared eightfold in the first six months of 2025, propelling the city's exchange to the top of the global rankings for the first time since 2019. A total of 42 companies raised US$13.5 billion on the main board of the Hong Kong stock exchange during the first half. With about 230 listed companies having submitted listing applications, Chan is optimistic about the outlook for the IPO market in the second half. HKEX booked a HK$1.04 billion gain from its investment portfolio of global stocks and bonds during the period, 16 per cent higher than a year earlier. The investment income may be affected by the interest rate cut in the second half of this year, alongside the cost for the HKEX office purchase expense, Chan said. In April, the HKEX agreed to pay HK$6.3 billion for office and retail space in One Exchange Square and other related assets in Central from Hongkong Land, marking one of the city's biggest commercial property transactions in two years. The group has HK$35 billion corporate funding available for investment, including HK$7 billion managed by external fund managers, which would be used to fund the purchase, said Chief Financial Officer Herbert Hui Leung-wah. "We will redeem the entire HK$7 billion external investment portfolio to pay for the headquarters," Hui said. "The redemption will cut down the size of corporate funds available for investment." The strong income growth was partly offset by a 6 per cent increase in operating expenses in the first half to HK$2.97 billion, due to a HK$90 million fine paid to the UK regulator, Financial Conduct Authority, because of the nickel market chaos in 2022. Excluding the fine and a HK$50 million recovery of legal fees related to the event, operating expenses were up 1 per cent. The average daily turnover of futures and options trading in the first half rose to 1.7 million contracts per day, up 11 per cent from a year earlier. The London Metal Exchange, wholly owned by HKEX, handled 715,000 lots of metal contracts per day during the first half, an increase of 3 per cent from a year earlier.
