Trump’s 25% Tariffs on Mexico and Canada Could Drive Car Prices Up by Thousands, Analysis Reveals

Written by on March 5, 2025

President Donald Trump’s new 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada could lead to significant increases in car prices, according to a recent analysis by the Anderson Economic Group. 

The study indicates that manufacturing costs for various vehicle types could rise sharply: crossover utility vehicles might see a $4,000 increase, large SUVs could rise by about $9,000, and pickup trucks may experience an increase of approximately $8,000. 

Electric vehicles (EVs) would be particularly affected, with potential cost increases exceeding $12,000. 

Additionally, vehicles from Europe and Asia could face an extra $800 to $1,700 in costs without tariff exclusions. 

The analysis also warns that retaliatory tariffs from Canada and Mexico could further escalate prices as both countries respond to the U.S. tariffs.
