Tariffs and Your Honda: What Colorado Buyers Need to Know in 2025

In our previous blog post, we discussed how international trade policies and tariffs can impact the automotive industry. Today, we’re providing an important update specifically for our Schomp Honda customers about how recent tariff changes may affect your vehicle purchase decisions.

Honda’s American-Made Advantage

Good news for Honda enthusiasts! Many of your favorite Honda models are built right here in the United States, which helps insulate them from the impact of international tariffs:

• Honda Accord – Made in the USA
• Honda Odyssey – Made in the USA
• Honda Passport – Made in the USA
• Honda Pilot – Made in the USA
• Honda Ridgeline – Made in the USA

This American manufacturing presence is a significant advantage in today’s shifting trade landscape. When you purchase one of these models at Schomp Honda, you’re not only supporting American jobs but potentially avoiding tariff-related price increases.

Mixed Production Models

Some popular Honda models have production split between multiple countries:

• Honda Civic – Production split between the USA and Canada, with the Type R hatchback imported from Japan
• Honda CR-V – Production split between the USA and Canada

How Recent Tariffs May Affect Vehicle Prices

According to recent reporting from Car and Driver, the automotive industry is beginning to feel the impact of new tariffs. Dealerships across the country are adjusting to these changes, which can affect vehicle pricing, especially for imported models.

For vehicles manufactured in countries subject to increased tariffs, these additional costs may be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. Models imported from Japan, like the Civic Type R, could potentially see price adjustments as manufacturers and dealerships adapt to the new trade environment.

What This Means for Schomp Honda Customers

As your trusted Honda dealer in Colorado, we want to be transparent about how these industry changes might affect your next vehicle purchase:

1. American-made Honda models (Accord, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline) are less likely to see significant tariff-related price changes.
2. Mixed-production models like the Civic and CR-V may be variably affected depending on the specific vehicle’s production location.
3. Imported specialty models like the Civic Type R from Japan may be more susceptible to tariff-related price adjustments.
