Honda Leads the 2025 Cars.com American-Made Index

When it comes to Honda American-made vehicles, no brand delivers quite like Honda. For the latest edition of Cars.com's American-Made Index, Honda has more vehicles in the top 20 than other foreign brands such as Toyota and American brands such as Ford. That’s a testament to the automaker's deep and lasting commitment to building vehicles right here in the United States.

So what exactly is the Cars.com American-Made Index? Published annually, the AMI ranks vehicles based on five key criteria: final assembly location, percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts content, country of origin for available engines, country of origin for available transmissions, and U.S. manufacturing workforce size relative to the automaker's overall footprint. This year marks the index's 20th anniversary, and Honda's strong showing proves the brand remains an American manufacturing powerhouse.

In fact, three Honda models earned coveted spots in the top 10, and Honda's presence on the list goes well beyond that.

Three Honda Models in the Top 10

Among the hundreds of vehicles evaluated for the 2025 American-Made Index, three Honda nameplates stand out near the very top of the list.

Honda Ridgeline: Ranked 7

Built in Lincoln, Alabama, the Honda Ridgeline continues to prove itself as one of the most versatile and capable trucks on the road. Whether you're hauling gear for a weekend camping trip or tackling everyday errands around Avondale, the Ridgeline blends rugged capability with the refined ride quality Honda is known for. Its strong AMI ranking reflects the fact that this truck is American-made from the ground up.

Honda Odyssey: Ranked 8

Also assembled in Lincoln, Alabama, the Honda Odyssey has earned recognition as the most American-made minivan on the market. Families across Arizona rely on the Odyssey for its spacious interior, innovative features and the peace of mind that comes with Honda safety technology. It's a vehicle designed with American families in mind, and built by American workers.

Honda Passport: Ranked 9

Rounding out Honda's top-10 presence is the Honda Passport, another Alabama-built favorite. This capable SUV is ideal for drivers who want a vehicle that's equally at home on the highway and the trails. With strong AMI credentials, the Passport represents Honda's commitment to delivering quality American-made SUVs.

American-Made Story Goes Beyond the Top 10

Honda's impressive AMI performance doesn't stop at the top 10. In total, five Honda models landed in the top 20 of the 2025 Cars.com American-Made Index.

Honda Pilot: Ranked 12

The Honda Pilot is a family favorite for good reason. Spacious, capable and loaded with features, the Pilot is built for Arizona families who need room for the whole crew. Its strong AMI ranking is further proof of Honda's dedication to domestic manufacturing.

Honda Accord: Ranked 15

Produced in Marysville, Ohio, the Honda Accord has long been one of the best-selling sedans in America: and one of the most American-made. Its continued presence on the AMI list speaks to the Accord's enduring legacy and Honda's investment in U.S. production.

When you factor in Acura models (Honda's luxury division), Honda and Acura together placed eight vehicles in the top 20 of the 2025 American-Made Index. That level of consistency is unmatched by any other automaker.

Honorable Mention: Honda Civic

Honda Civic engines and hybrid-electric power units are manufactured at the Anna Engine and Honda Transmission plants in Ohio. Furthermore, Civic Hatchbacks are assembled at the Indiana Auto Plant. The Civic made it onto the AMI, ranking 89 despite the fact that Civic sedans are assembled at the Honda Ontario plant.

Honda's Deep Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing

Honda's dominance on the American-Made Index didn't happen overnight. It's the result of more than four decades of investment in American communities, workers and manufacturing infrastructure.

Here's a look at the numbers behind Honda's American-made story:

Honda has built vehicles in America for over 40 years, beginning automobile production in the U.S. in 1982.
The company employs over 30,000 associates in America, engaged in development, manufacturing, sales and service support.
Honda operates 12 major U.S. manufacturing facilities, working with 620 U.S. suppliers to produce Honda and Acura products.
Eight automobile and engine plants are located across Ohio, Indiana, Alabama and Georgia.
In 2024, Honda purchased over $30.6 billion from U.S. suppliers for the production of Honda and Acura vehicles.
The brand has produced more than 30 million cars and light trucks in the U.S. over the last 40 years.

These numbers reflect on real jobs, real families and real communities across the country. When you drive a Honda, you're supporting an automaker that has put American workers and American manufacturing at the center of everything it does.
