TOP 100 MOST AMERICAN CARS, TRUCKS, AND SUVS (2024 EDITION)

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the Cars.com American-Made Index for 2024, highlighting vehicles with significant US and Canadian parts content, assembly location, and engine/transmission origins. The reviewer notes the increasing presence of foreign brands like Honda, Acura, Subaru, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz on the list due to their substantial North American manufacturing operations. Electric vehicles present unique challenges in this index, particularly concerning battery sourcing. While the list features a wide range of vehicles, from mainstream sedans and SUVs to trucks, the reviewer expresses surprise at some rankings, such as the Kia Sorento ranking higher than the Chevy Corvette. The video also touches upon upcoming model year changes and potential shifts in manufacturing locations and sourcing that could impact future rankings, especially for Toyota and Honda. The reviewer concludes by emphasizing that despite the index's methodology, all listed vehicles are manufactured in America, but their final placement depends on a complex set of criteria.
