Chart Reveals True Cost of Trump's Tariffs
UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – Automakers including GM, Stellantis, and VW face billions in costs from the 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and parts, raising vehicle prices by up to $9,000, Center for Automotive Research found.
- This year, Stellantis and other United States carmakers face a $1.4 billion tariff cost from President Donald Trump’s 25% trade duties.
- In parallel with trade negotiations, Trump threatened the global baseline rate could rise to between 15 and 20 percent, and a Center for Automotive Research study says tariffs would raise US vehicle costs by over $4,000 and imports by nearly $9,000.
- Several automakers disclosed that tariffs cut $1.1 billion off General Motors' profits last quarter, and Tesla reported a $300 million tariff-related cost last week.
- Amid mounting costs, US tariffs on imported vehicles have snarled supply chains, and Mary Barra warned the worst is still to come despite efforts to reduce exposure.
- Alberto Cavallo said `We observed rapid price responses to trade war and tariff-related news, with average price increases of about 3 percent for imported products since February`, and impacts may hit household budgets later this year.
