The Americans who buy cars may have to give more thousands more if the proposed tariffs of President Donald Trump come into force, according to Investment Bank Benchmark Co.

The analyst Cody Acree estimated that the average sticker price would increase by $ 5,790, based on the effects of the 25% taxes for cars and components from Mexico and Canada. This would increase the cost of an average new car over $ 54,500 or almost 12% higher than in 2024.

“We believe and the sheer number of our companies that take part in the support of this most important consumer industry.”

Trump hit 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico at the beginning of February and briefly opened the markets, but followed the tasks for a month after making preliminary agreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Now consumers and investors are equally wondering which formal oils will take or whether they come into force at all. Benchmark calculated what would mean 25% taxes for the average purchasing power of a popular purchase of Americans for a popular purchase of big ticket.

The estimated higher costs for a Benchmark car are based on more than 22% of the finished automobiles that were sold from Mexico and Canada last year. In addition, the parts used in vehicles came from its North American partners around 40% of the parts used in vehicles.

This was exports worth over 200 billion US dollars to America last year. In particular, Acree found that Mexico delivered in the USA of 95 billion US dollars in the United States, in addition to $ 68 billion in parts in 2024. Canada provided finished cars worth more than 36 billion US dollars and Almost 16 billion US dollars of components.

During an industry event this week, Ford engine CEO Jim Farley said Trump's proposed tariffs in Canada and Mexico, combined with 25% fees for steel and aluminum imports, had created headaches.

“President Trump has spoken a lot about making our US car industry stronger, bringing more production here, making more innovations in the USA, and if his administration can achieve this, this would be one of the … The best characteristic achievements “Said Farley during a Wolfe Research Investment Conference. “So far we see a lot of costs and a lot of chaos.”
