  • U.S. tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods will hike prices of North American-produced vehicles by as much as $10,000 each, a consultant said.

The article from Forbes, published on February 21, 2025, discusses a report by a consulting firm which predicts that new tariffs on imported vehicles and parts will increase the prices of new vehicles in the U.S. The report suggests that these tariffs, aimed at protecting domestic manufacturers, could lead to significant job cuts in the automotive industry. The price hikes are expected due to increased costs for manufacturers who rely on imported components, which would likely be passed on to consumers. Additionally, the article mentions that while the tariffs might benefit some domestic producers, the overall impact could be negative due to potential retaliation from trade partners, reduced consumer demand, and the complexities of global supply chains. The consultant also warns that these measures might not achieve the intended economic benefits and could instead contribute to economic inefficiencies and job losses in related sectors.
