Auto Tariffs Seen Hiking Car Prices by Nearly $2,000 per Vehicle
UNITED STATES, JUN 18 – Consultant AlixPartners estimates tariffs will add about $1,760 to U.S. car prices, while Hyundai and Kia maintain stable pricing by leveraging pre-tariff inventory strategies.
- Consultant AlixPartners reported that President Trump's $30 billion auto tariffs will raise U.S. car prices by about $1,760 per vehicle.
- The tariffs, set at 25% on European cars and parts since April 3, face uncertain trade deal progress, with actual agreements unlikely at this year's G7 summit.
- Hyundai and Kia are expanding U.S. EV production focusing on larger electric SUVs, highlighted by new models like the IONIQ 9 and Kia EV9.
- The IONIQ 9 is produced at Hyundai's Georgia plant, which can make up to 300,000 vehicles yearly, starts at $60,555, offers 335-mile range, and includes a free home charger.
- AlixPartners expects the tariffs to reduce U.S. auto sales by about 1 million vehicles over three years but sees tariff rates eventually falling through trade negotiations.
