The US authorities called the “most American” cars: the results were surprised

The public list of Aala (American Automotive Labeling Act) appeared in the public domain, by which you can assess the degree of localization of all cars officially sold in the country. The main column is the percentage of components produced in the USA or Canada, but in addition, the share of foreign components, the country of assembly, as well as the origin of the engine and transmission are indicated.

“The most American” were not Ford or Chevrolet at all: the first line for localization by the KIA EV6 electric car! This crossover 80% consists of American and Canadian details. The second place is the Pikap Honda Ridgeline and Tesla Model 3 (75%each), and then a whole galaxy of models follows: Honda Odyssey, Passport, Pilot; Acura MDX and Tesla Model Y – they have 70% of the US and Canada.

The symbols of America are far behind: for example, Ford F-150 only 45%of the “local” components, Mustang-only 41%, and the Chevrolet Silverado/Sierra-only 36%. But Toyota: Tundra, Sequoia, Highlander, Rav4, Camry and Corolla are about half of American details are good. The STELLANTIS concern did not provide data on RAM, Dodge or Jeep.

It was decided to calculate the localization level after US President Donald Trump threatened to introduce 25 percent duties on foreign cars and components. The decree will enter into force on April 3. Many Nissan, Volkswagen and Ford budget models are produced in Mexico, that is, U.S. Bessellers will be under the blow. Experts have no doubt that the bill will provoke a wave of rise in the cost of cars.
