Honda is reportedly planning to shift a significant portion of its car production from Canada and Mexico to the United States in response to President Trump’s 25% tariff on imported vehicles, according to Japan’s Nikkei. The automaker aims for 90% of its U.S. sales to come from locally made cars, increasing production by up to 30% over the next few years.
For over 40 years, Honda has proudly built vehicles right here in America, using U.S. and globally made parts.

Though Honda declined to confirm the report, the company is already moving production of the Civic hybrid to Indiana and considering relocating CR-V and HR-V SUV manufacturing from Canada and Mexico to U.S. plants. The U.S., Honda’s largest market, accounted for 40% of global sales last year, with nearly two-fifths of those vehicles previously imported. Canadian officials have pushed back, saying no decisions affecting their plants have been finalized, but talks with Honda leadership are ongoing.
