Honda Reportedly Shifts Civic Production to Indiana Following Tariff Pressures

The move, reportedly influenced by Trump's tariffs on Mexico, marks a significant shift in Honda's manufacturing strategy.

Honda is reportedly moving production of its next-generation Civic from Guanajuato, Mexico, to Indiana, with manufacturing expected to begin in May 2028.
The decision comes after the implementation of a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada, which could add $4,000 or more to the price of Mexico-made cars.
Honda has not confirmed the reports but emphasized its flexibility to adjust production based on market conditions and customer needs.
The shift is expected to result in the production of approximately 210,000 Civics annually in Indiana, potentially boosting local manufacturing jobs.
Experts suggest other automakers may follow suit, though increased U.S. labor costs could still lead to higher vehicle prices for consumers.
