Honda to produce next Civic in Indiana, not Mexico, due to US tariffs: Reuters
Honda will produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in Indiana starting in May 2028, instead of Mexico, to avoid U.S. tariffs on Mexican goods, according to Reuters.
The decision to shift production was influenced by proposed 25% tariffs from the Trump administration, which prompted Honda to reconsider manufacturing options according to Reuters.
Honda's sales of the Civic rose 21% year-on-year in the U.S., making it the company's second-best seller after the CR-V according to reports by Reuters.
Shinji Aoyama warned that permanent tariffs could necessitate changes in production plans, and Honda is evaluating its global production allocation based on demand and costs according to Aoyama.
