New Car Launches in the U.S. That Dodge Tariff Disruption

Hyundai’s U.S.-Built 2025 Tucson

Hyundai, another major automaker, is also positioning itself as a key player in the evolving U.S. automotive landscape. The 2025 Hyundai Tucson, which is built in Montgomery, Alabama, is expected to be one of the best-sellers in the U.S. this year. By producing this vehicle in the U.S., Hyundai ensures that it is tariff-exempt, thanks to compliance with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

The Tucson is one of Hyundai's most popular models, and the 2025 version includes several updates, such as a more fuel-efficient hybrid engine and new technology features. Hyundai’s focus on domestic production is a smart move, as it allows the automaker to avoid tariff-related price hikes on vehicles imported from overseas.

This move comes at a time when the U.S. government is encouraging automakers to produce more cars domestically, which is in line with the country's broader push to reduce reliance on foreign imports and foster local manufacturing jobs.
