Impact of Tariffs on Auto Prices
Upcoming tariffs on vehicles manufactured in Canada and Mexico are expected to significantly increase car prices in the U.S. Estimates suggest that prices for electric vehicles could rise by as much as $12,000, with other vehicle types seeing increases ranging from $4,000 for crossovers to $9,000 for large SUVs. Automakers that rely heavily on parts or assembly from these countries will bear the brunt of the tariffs, disrupting the established North American supply chain. Companies like Ford and General Motors, which produce parts in Canada and Mexico, may see model offerings shrink as a result, affecting their sales volumes.
