In fact, 83 vehicle models \u2013 about 22 percent \u2013 of nearly 400 from 25 brands identified in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration\u2019s 2016 American Automobile Labeling Act report are built at least 50 percent of parts made in America (United States and Canada).<\/p>\n
Several FIAT Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) brands \u2013 Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler and Ram \u2013 which would have significantly improved the numbers based on the 2015 data were not available in the 2016 report.<\/p>\n
Those brands would add 15 models to the list of products with at least 50 percent American-made parts, ranking FCA brands among the most reliant on American-made parts. Other brands not included in the 2016 report \u2013 and which generally used very small percentages of American-made parts \u2013 were Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Hyundai Motor Company.<\/p>\n
More than one-quarter of the 83 are built of 70 percent or more domestically produced components, based on the NHTSA data, and about three-quarters comprise at least 60 percent American-made parts.<\/p>\n
AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE<\/strong><\/h4>\nOnly if a shopper is looking for a vehicle comprising 80 percent or more of America-made parts do the pickings truly get slim with just five clearing that hurdle, and the missing brands don\u2019t change that.<\/p>\n
Among the five models that meet the highest bar for those in a patriotic frame of mind are three from General Motors (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) and two Honda Accords. Even better, the engines for all five vehicles are sourced in the United States, where the vehicles also are assembled, while four of the five also use transmissions made in the United States.<\/p>\n
WAVING THE FLAG<\/strong><\/h4>\nFour more models sold here \u2013 two each from Japanese automakers Honda (Pilot and Odyssey minivan) and Toyota (Camry and Sienna minivan) \u2013 comprise 75 percent American-made parts, including transmissions and engines, with final assembly also occurring in the United States.<\/p>\n
FCA\u2019s Dodge Grand Caravan also would be included on this list, based on the 2015 report: Although it is assembled in Canada, parts include U.S.-made engines and transmissions.<\/p>\n
AMONG THE BEST<\/strong><\/h4>\nHonda Motors dominated the 70-74 percent range of American-made parts with nine of 13 vehicles, including two Acura models, while Fords and Toyotas comprised the remainder of the list. Besides the Ford F-150, the first truck on the list, vehicles were Ford Edge, Toyota Avalon and Highlander, Acura RDX 2WD and AWD, plus three Honda CR-Vs and four Civic models.<\/p>\n
This range includes four FCA products named in the 2015 report: Jeep Wrangler (two-door and four-door models) and Cherokee, Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Viper.<\/p>\n
OTHERS ON RADAR<\/strong><\/h4>\nNearly three-quarters of the vehicles that made the list here comprised 60-69 percent or 50-59 percent American-made parts, with 40 vehicles in the upper range and 21 vehicles in the lower range.<\/p>\n
Brands represented in the 60-69 percent range of American-made parts in the 2016 report \u2013 with General Motors dominating with 22 of 40 vehicles \u2013 are Chevrolet (11); Cadillac, Ford and Toyota (five each); Acura (four); Buick and GMC (three each); Lincoln (two), and Mercedes-Benz (two). This range also would include Dodge (four), Jeep (three), Chrysler (two) and Ram (one).<\/p>\n
The 50-59 percent range comprised Nissan (eight vehicles); Lincoln (three); Ford, Chevrolet and Infiniti (two each); Cadillac, Hyundai, Kia and Lexus (one each).<\/p>\n
