Honda is once again proving its commitment to American manufacturing, securing top positions in the Cars.com 2024 American-Made Index®. Three Honda models proudly sit within the top 10, and an impressive nine Honda and Acura vehicles dominate the top 20, outperforming all other brands in this year’s index. This achievement underscores Honda’s long-standing dedication to producing vehicles in America, a principle upheld since the inception of the Cars.com American-Made Index in 2006.
The 2024 index highlights the Honda Passport SUV, Ridgeline pickup truck, and Odyssey minivan as top-tier American-made vehicles, all landing within the coveted top 10. Furthermore, the Honda Accord, Acura MDX, Honda Pilot, and Acura RDX models are recognized in the top 15, reinforcing Honda’s strong presence in the American-made automotive sector. Notably, the Honda Ridgeline has been honored as the most American-Made truck for the fourth consecutive year, a testament to its consistent US manufacturing and high domestic parts content.
All of Honda’s top 10 contenders – the Passport, Ridgeline, and Odyssey – are a product of American ingenuity and labor. These models were meticulously designed and engineered by Honda teams in the United States and are exclusively manufactured in Lincoln, Alabama. This localized production not only supports the American economy but also ensures high-quality vehicles tailored to the needs and preferences of the US market.
“Honda’s success is a direct reflection of our dedicated associates,” states Bob Schwyn, senior vice president of Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, LLC. “Their unwavering commitment to quality is the driving force behind our ability to create exceptional, American-made vehicles for our valued customers. We are committed to continued investment in our US facilities and our workforce, ensuring the ongoing production of both our current combustion and hybrid models, while strategically preparing for EV production in Ohio starting in 2025.”
