These Are the 10 Most ‘American' Cars: How Much Do They Cost in 2025?
On April 29, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order and a proclamation to allow reimbursements for domestic car producers importing car parts. But the auto tariffs themselves have not been reduced; 25% tariffs on auto parts still went into effect on May 3. Car prices are expected to increase as a result.

But what about cars made exclusively in the U.S.? Will these go up in price, too? It's likely they will because even American auto manufacturers use car parts that are not made in the U.S.
'No cars are actually 100% made in the United States with parts sourced from the United States,' said Edmunds consumer insights analyst Joseph Yoon, according to USA Today. 'It's going to be a big, big deal for the auto industry, globally, if the tariffs are implemented and enforced at face value.'
But some cars are 'more American' than others. In June 2024, Cars.com published a list ranking the most American-made cars. Which are they and how much do they cost in 2025?
Starting Price: $56,490
Coming in at No. 10 on the list of the most 'American'-made cars is the Lexus TX 350, which Kelley Blue Book ranked at No. 8 on its roundup of best luxury mid-size SUVs. It's techy, comfy, roomy and gets good gas mileage. Plus, it has excellent resale value. The only noted con is that only the base model offers seven-passenger seating.

Starting Price: $86,880
Kelley Blue Book found that owners of the Tesla Model X gave it a 4.6 out of 5 rating and that 83% recommend it. Some compare it to a Porsche (technically it's faster than a twin turbo Porsche) and say they look forward to going out for a ride in it. But there are some drivers who feel this automobile just isn't worth the steep price.
Starting Price: $40,095
The 2025 Jeep Gladiator is a pretty ferocious looking example of a midsize truck. As you might expect, it's got masterful off-road maneuvering. It's a little less impeccable with its on-road capabilities, but still a vehicle that will impress truck enthusiasts, particularly those who want an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Starting Price: $29,795
The 2025 Toyota Camry has definitely impressed Kelley Blue Book reviewers, who ranked it the No. 1 best mid-size car. It's spacious, reliable and superior to all its predecessors (this is the ninth generation). Even a diligent review found no substantial cons.
Starting Price: $41,600
The 2025 Honda Ridgeline isn't substantially different from the 2024 iteration, but it is spacious and pretty smooth — for a truck. It's well designed and intuitive for drivers, but some truck enthusiasts will frown upon its unibody construction.
Starting Price: $43,670
Kelley Blue Book reviewers are pretty big fans of the 2025 Honda Odyssey, ranking it the second-best minivan. It's an ideal family car with easy-to-use technology. There is one pretty sizable downside, and that's the lack of a hybrid option.
Starting Price: $81,880
As you may have expected, the Tesla Model S is one of the more expensive automobiles on this list, with a steep starting price of $81,880. It doesn't have Apple Car Play or Android Auto, which for some is a significant shortcoming, but it does have a 402-mile range and free supercharging for life.
Starting Price: $41,420
Yes, you read that right. The famously German car brand has one of the most American-made automobiles on the market with the Volkswagen ID.4, an all-electric SUV. This vehicle has good tech and a spacious cabin, but for the best range, you'll have to spend more on a higher-end model.
Starting Price: $43,850
The 2025 Honda Passport is roomy and capable, but it has an 'aging design,' according to Kelley Blue Book. It also doesn't have any upgrades from the 2024 version, but it holds up as a reliable and efficient SUV.
Starting Price: $46,880
Finally, a Tesla with a price tag that won't give the middle class a stroke. It's not quite as beloved by owners as the Tesla Model X, but most of the 78 consumer reviews cited by Kelley Blue Book are favorable. It's a great all-electric car choice if you want to go fast — zero to 60 in 6.5 seconds.

Asian shares slide as Russia-Ukraine conflict, OPEC+ output plan push oil prices higher
HONG KONG (AP) — Asian shares sank on Monday and oil prices jumped as trade tensions and the Russian-Ukraine conflict ratcheted up geopolitical uncertainty. Hong Kong's Hang Seng plunged more than 2% as Beijing and Washington traded harsh words over trade. U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that he will double tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% layered on still more worries for investors. A report over the weekend that China's factory activity contracted in May, although the decline slowed from April as the country reached a deal with the U.S. to slash President Donald Trump's sky-high tariffs, further undermined market sentiment. Markets in mainland China were closed for a holiday. Oil prices rallied after OPEC+ decided on a modest increase in output beginning in July. It was the third monthly increase in a row. U.S. benchmark crude oil gained $1.60 to $62.39 per barrel, while Brent crude, the international standard, was up $1.41 at $64.19 per barrel. Moscow pounded Ukraine with missiles and drones just hours before a new round of direct peace talks in Istanbul and a Ukrainian drone attack destroyed more than 40 Russian planes deep in Russia's territory, Ukraine's Security Service said on Sunday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 2.2% to 22,778.45 as China and the U.S. accused each other of breaching their tariff agreement reached in Geneva last month. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 lost 1.6% to 37,356.97, while the Kospi in Seoul fell 0.4% to 2,686.17. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 retreated 0.2% to 8,416.00. On Friday, Wall Street closed its best month since 2023. The S&P 500 retreated less than 0.1% to end at 5,911.69 and the Dow industrials Jones Industrial Average edged 0.1% higher to 42,270.07. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.3% to 19,113.77. Gap weighed on the market even though the retailer reported stronger profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company behind Banana Republic and Old Navy fell 20.2% after saying tariffs on imports from China and other countries could add up to $300 million to its costs this fiscal year. It has strategies set to mitigate up to half of that before it hits its profits. Hopes had largely been rising that the worst of such worries had passed, which in turn sent stocks rallying, after Trump paused his tariffs on both China and the European Union. A U.S. court then on Wednesday blocked many of Trump's sweeping tariffs. That all sent the S&P 500 in May to its first winning month in four and its best since November. But the tariffs remain in place while the White House appeals the ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade, and the ultimate outcome is still uncertain. Friday's most influential losses came from several Big Tech stocks. Nvidia fell 2.9% to give back some of its gain from earlier in the week after it topped analysts' expectations for profit in the latest quarter. It was the single heaviest weight by far on the S&P 500. On the winning side of Wall Street was Ulta Beauty, which rose 11.8% after the retailer reported stronger sales and profit than analysts forecast. It also raised the top end of its forecasted range for revenue this fiscal year even though CEO Kecia Steelman called the operating environment 'fluid.' Costco climbed 3.1% after the retailer's results and revenue for the latest quarter edged past analysts' expectations. In the bond market, Treasury yields eased after a report showed that the measure of inflation that the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower in April than economists expected. A separate report from the University of Michigan said that sentiment among U.S. consumers was better in May than economists expected. Sentiment improved in the back half of the month after Trump paused many of his tariffs on China. In currency trading early Monday, the U.S. dollar fell to 143.55 Japanese yen from 143.87 yen. The euro inched up to $1.1364 from $1.1351.

Steel shares fall after Trump doubles US tariffs: JSW Steel down 1.29%, Tata Steel down 0.98%, SAIL down 1.20%, Jindal Steel down 0.57%
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 2, 2025, 09:28 IST Shares of leading Indian steel manufacturers came under pressure on Monday, June 2, after former US President Donald Trump announced a significant hike in import tariffs on steel and aluminium. The Nifty Metal index fell 0.87% to 9,113.65. Among major losers: JSW Steel declined 1.29% to ₹980.65 Tata Steel slipped 0.98% to ₹159.44 SAIL (Steel Authority of India) dropped 1.20% to ₹127.63 Jindal Steel & Power was down 0.57% at ₹943.45 The pressure came after Trump, during a speech in Pennsylvania, vowed to double existing tariffs on steel and aluminium to 50%. In a later post on Truth Social, he confirmed the hike would come into effect on June 4 under Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act, citing national security risks. India exported $4.56 billion worth of steel and aluminium products to the US in FY25, including $3.1 billion in value-added steel articles. The US is a key market for Indian steelmakers due to its high consumption and favorable pricing environment. Experts believe the tariff hike could directly impact Indian exporters and potentially lead to trade diversion. Industry leaders, including those from JSW Steel and AMNS India, have called for proactive trade measures to protect domestic interests amid the shifting global landscape.
