Looking for an American-made vehicle? How the automakers stack up

USA TODAY analyzed National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports to determine whether any vehicles are fully "made in America."

Corrections and clarifications: This story has been updated to clarify that percentages provided by NHTSA for car parts sourced in the U.S. and Canada are based on the value of parts for vehicle models.

President Donald Trump's auto tariffs target vehicles and auto parts made outside the United States, but that doesn't mean automakers that assemble cars within the country are immune to the new duties.

Roughly half of new vehicles sold in the U.S. are assembled within the country, according to an analysis from Cars.com. But even those vehicles rely on parts imported from other countries.

USA TODAY analyzed reports released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to determine whether any vehicles sold in the U.S. are fully made in America. According to the NHTSA data, for all models assembled and available for sale in the U.S., 47% of the parts (by value) originated from the U.S. or Canada.

The data shows no evidence that any vehicle is made 100% in the United States. Some automakers, though, have a greater share of parts originating in the U.S. or Canada. For example, 69% of the parts (by value) in Tesla's vehicles are produced in the U.S. or Canada. Honda also stands out — its dozen U.S. manufacturing plants allow the company to assemble certain vehicles within the country with American-made parts.

We break down the origin of parts for the majority of automakers included in the 2025 report. It’s important to note that the NHTSA database lists percentages by the value, not the total number of parts, and that the data only looks at vehicle models available to Americans, not volume of vehicles sold. Also, Fiat Chrysler, the company behind Dodge, RAM and Jeep brand vehicles, are based on 2024 data, the latest available.

Where do the parts in your cars come from?

Here’s a ranking of vehicles in the report by percentage of parts originating in the U.S. and Canada — the Kia EV6 has the highest share of U.S. and Canadian parts by value:

What do auto tariffs mean for car buyers?

Estimates vary, but analysts say new car prices could go up thousands of dollars due to tariffs.

Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives on Wednesday said consumers can expect to pay $5,000 to $10,000 more for a typical car “out of the gates.” Art Wheaton, director of labor studies at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, told USA TODAY the price of some non-luxury vehicles could go up as much as $20,000 if automakers pass on tariff costs in full. 

As of February, the average new vehicle was estimated to cost roughly $48,000, according to Kelley Blue Book.
