Full Story

Honda is producing its next-generation Civic hybrid in Indiana, instead of Mexico as initially planned, to avoid President Donald Trump’s expected tariffs on one of its top-selling cars.

The change was revealed in a report by Reuters on Monday, March 3, which cited three people familiar with the matter.

The move comes as automakers prepare for the president’s 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, set to take effect on Tuesday, March 4.

What changed?

Honda, Japan’s second-largest vehicle maker, initially planned to produce its new Civic in Mexico, starting in November 2027.

A source tells Reuters that Honda picked Mexico because rising costs made it difficult to manufacture the car in Indiana or Canada.

How many vehicles will be produced?

Now, the source says that the automaker will build the new Civic in Indiana in May 2028, with roughly 210,000 cars produced annually.

The company would reportedly import vehicles from countries unaffected by tariffs if production in Indiana falls short of demand.

Honda has yet to officially announce its plans, and all sources spoke to Reuters anonymously.

Why do automakers choose Mexico?

Mexico has long served as a lower-cost option for global automakers, and Honda reportedly sends the vast majority of its Mexican output to the United States.

How many vehicles are exported to the U.S. from Mexico?

The company said it sold around 1.4 million vehicles in the United States in 2024, and roughly 40% of them were imported from Mexico and Canada.
