Yes, the vast majority of Dodge cars sold in the U.S. are made in America. While the brand has phased out all its traditional passenger cars (like the Charger and Challenger), its core models are assembled in North American plants. The key factor is the distinction between final assembly location and the origin of all components. For a vehicle to be considered "American" according to the American Automobile Labeling Act (AALA), it must have a specific level of U.S./Canadian parts content and be assembled in North America.
The most iconic Dodge vehicles have deep roots in American manufacturing. The Dodge Durango SUV and the now-discontinued Charger and Challenger were produced at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada. It's important to note that manufacturing is a global effort; even vehicles assembled in the U.S. use parts from around the world. The "domestic content" percentage is a more precise measure of how American a car is.
The following table shows the production details for Dodge's primary models (as of the brand's shift to a performance-focused lineup):
| Dodge Model | Primary Assembly Plant Location | Country | Key Notes |
|---|
| Dodge Durango | Jefferson North Assembly Plant | Detroit, Michigan, USA | Shares production line with Jeep Grand Cherokee. |
| Dodge Charger/Challenger (Discontinued) | Brampton Assembly Plant | Brampton, Ontario, Canada | Production ended Dec 2023; new Charger EV to be in Canada. |
| Dodge Hornet | Pomigliano d'Arco Plant | Naples, Italy | A rebadged Alfa Romeo Tonale; an exception to U.S. production. |
Looking ahead, the next-generation Dodge Charger (including electric and gasoline variants) will be built at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada. So, while you can buy a European-made Dodge Hornet, the brand's flagship muscle cars and SUVs continue to be primarily a North American manufacturing story, supporting jobs and production within the region.
