Trump's Mexico and Canada tariffs could add nearly $6,000 to the average cost of a car, by one estimate
Analyst Cody Acree estimated that the average sticker price would rise about $5,790, based on the impact of the currently paused 25% levies on cars and components from Mexico and Canada. That would raise the cost of an average new car above $54,500, or nearly 12% higher than in 2024.
