Honda Tariff Information for Shoppers
Recent changes in tariff policies may have you wanting more information before you make your purchase from us at Pohanka Honda. Let us provide you with a basic overview of the concept of tariffs along with the current trajectory of their effects. If you have any remaining questions about the general situation or your particular circumstances, reach out to us!
What Is a Tariff?
In the most basic sense, a tariff is a form of tax that is created by a government upon imported products. A company within a nation that is exporting its goods pays for the ability to sell its items in the importing country. In this case, the U.S. is the one importing the products. On March 26, 2025, the U.S. government created a 25 percent tariff on some automobile parts and vehicles, raising the effective tariff rate to 27.5 percent when accounting for the former 2.5 percent rate. More specifically, the cost will be applied to imported passenger vehicles, like sedans, cargo vans, crossovers, and SUVs. Additionally, components such as powertrains, engines, transmission, and others are going to be affected. As an ad valorem tariff, the cost is a fixed percentage of the value of the items that are being imported.
What Does the Recent Auto Tariff Change Mean for Honda Shoppers?
If you’re in the market for a new Honda vehicle for sale, like a CR-V, HR-V, or Odyssey, you may wonder how this situation may impact you. For starters, the majority of customers will likely see no changes to prices in April and May because the current stock for many dealerships is already in the country and not subject to the new tariffs. However, the potential for prices to rise will begin in June or July, when freshly imported models begin to appear on car lots. Vehicles that are made in the U.S. with foreign parts will be less affected by the tariffs compared to those made outside of the country and shipped in. Buying from our used inventory will yield no price differences at this time since the tariffs don’t affect cars being resold in the U.S. as long as they were registered or originally purchased in the country. Remember to keep in mind that these tariffs may change in the future if any negotiations occur.
Recommendations and Next Steps
Knowing the situation with the tariffs, we encourage you to call or email us to talk about the Honda that you have your eye on. After all, many Honda models, like the Ridgeline, Odyssey, and Passport are assembled in the U.S., so they will not bear the full weight of the tariffs. We at Pohanka Honda are in constant contact with Honda representatives concerning the latest information about the tariffs. Our dedicated team of specialists is ready to field your questions about a specific Honda model or any financing options throughout our business hours. As always, we’re dedicated to providing you with a vehicle option that fits your budget. As such, we provide many avenues to contact us online, on the phone, or in person to help you find the Honda model that is right for you!
