Honda is reportedly in discussions to shift some car production from Mexico and Canada, according to the Nikkei. The source states that Japan’s second-largest automaker aims for 90% of the cars sold in the United States to be produced domestically.
The company plans to relocate the manufacturing of its CR-V SUV from Canada and the HR-V SUV from Mexico.
The news comes as a response to Trump’s crippling auto tariffs, which have had a significant impact on North American production outside the U.S.
According to 2024 sales data, the U.S. is Honda’s largest car market, representing 40% of its global sales. Nearly half of the 1.4 million cars sold in the U.S. in 2024 were imported from Canada or Mexico.
In the first quarter, Honda achieved a 5% increase in U.S. sales.
