flag U.S. automakers faced $35.4B in tariff costs since 2025, with major brands hit hard and sales dropping due to higher prices and production shifts.

flag U.S. automakers have incurred at least $35.4 billion in tariff-related costs since early 2025 due to President Trump’s sweeping trade measures, with Toyota facing $9.1 billion in 2026 alone. flag Major brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Hyundai-Kia each expect costs exceeding $1 billion. flag While some manufacturers absorbed tariffs in 2025, rising sticker prices—especially for vehicles from Canada, Japan, Germany, and Mexico—are now evident. flag Companies like Jeep and GM are shifting production to the U.S., contributing to a 7.9% sales drop for non-North American vehicles in late 2025. flag The elimination of the $7,500 EV tax credit has also driven over $70 billion in restructuring costs. flag Ongoing legal challenges to the president’s tariff authority and uncertainty around the USMCA’s future continue to disrupt the industry.
