Average car’s price could rise by at least $3,000. One more recent and arguably more thorough analysis concluded that the total could be much higher — as high as $9,000 for a midsize SUV and over $10,000 for a full-size truck.

Trump’s 25% Tariffs on Mexican and Canadian Imports Could Drastically Raise Car Prices

President Donald Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports are expected to have a major impact on vehicle prices in the U.S. The auto industry, already facing supply chain challenges, warns that these tariffs could lead to steep price hikes, job losses, and inflationary pressures.

Average car’s price could rise by at least $3,000. One more recent and arguably more thorough analysis concluded that the total could be much higher — as high as $9,000 for a midsize SUV and over $10,000 for a full-size truck.

How Much Will Car Prices Increase?

The tariffs will affect a broad range of vehicles, particularly crossover SUVs, electric cars, and trucks. Experts predict that:

  • Crossover SUVs could see a $4,000 price increase.
  • Electric vehicles (EVs) might become $12,000 more expensive.
  • Ford models like the Bronco Sport and Maverick, built in Mexico, could experience an $8,000 price surge.
  • Luxury SUVs with Mexican parts may rise by $9,000.

The price hikes stem from the fact that many vehicles assembled in the U.S. rely on Mexican and Canadian-made components. Automakers often move parts across borders multiple times during the manufacturing process, meaning the tariffs will increase costs at multiple production stages.

How Will Automakers Respond?

Ford and other automakers have been trying to prepare for disruptions by stockpiling parts in the U.S. However, Ford CEO Jim Farley has warned that the tariffs could still severely damage the industry, leading to:

  • Disruptions in vehicle supply chains.
  • Potential job losses in auto manufacturing.
  • Increased inflation due to rising costs.

What’s Next?

The auto industry is pushing back against the tariffs, emphasizing the risks of higher consumer costs and economic instability. While Trump’s policy aims to boost domestic production, it may end up making vehicles more expensive for American buyers.

As the situation unfolds, automakers, lawmakers, and consumers will be watching closely to see if negotiations or policy changes could soften the impact of these tariffs.
