2 Million Fewer Vehicles Sold Annually: The Shocking Impact of 25% Auto Tariffs

The automotive industry faces significant challenges due to the ongoing 25% tariffs on imported vehicles. Analysts predict a drop in vehicle sales by millions each year in the U.S. and Canada. The industry could see increased costs ranging from $110 billion to $160 billion annually. In the U.S. alone, costs for automakers are expected to rise by $107.7 billion, with $41.9 billion affecting Detroit’s major automakers. New vehicle prices in the U.S. are projected to increase by $2,000 to $4,000 over the next six to twelve months. Imported vehicles may see a $6,000 price hike, while U.S.-assembled vehicles could face a $3,600 increase due to tariffs on automotive parts. Additionally, tariffs on steel and aluminum are expected to add $300 to $500 to vehicle costs. These price increases could lead to reduced consumer spending power and broader economic impacts.
