Yes, a significant number of Honda cars and trucks sold in America are made in the United States. Honda was a pioneer among Japanese automakers in establishing manufacturing plants here, starting with the Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio in 1982. Today, Honda operates several major manufacturing facilities across the country, with a strong concentration in Ohio, Indiana, and Alabama. These plants produce some of Honda's most popular models, including the Accord, CR-V, Civic, Pilot, and Ridgeline pickup truck. The company also manufactures its V6 engines and transmissions domestically.
The domestic content percentage—the value of a vehicle's parts that originate from the U.S. or Canada—varies by model. According to the American Automobile Labeling Act, a car like the Honda Passport has a very high domestic content rating. Furthermore, you can check a vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). If the first character is a 1, 4, or 5, the vehicle was assembled in the United States. Many Honda models will start with a 1 or a 7.
Honda's commitment to American manufacturing is substantial. The company has invested billions of dollars in its U.S. operations and employs tens of thousands of Americans in its factories and related supply chain roles. This "built in America" approach allows Honda to tailor vehicles for the North American market, reduce shipping costs and lead times, and strengthen its brand presence. So, when you buy a Honda in the U.S., there's a very strong chance you're driving a car that was designed, engineered, and built by American workers.
