The distinguished Cars.com American-Made Index highlights 99 vehicles assembled in the U.S. According to the authority at Cars.com, only those models that satisfy exacting standards for American production qualify for this rankings list. As American-made credentials become more important to shoppers, this index takes on greater relevance. This year, Hyundai proudly has five models among the elite group.
Five Hyundai Models Make the 2025 Cars.com American-Made Index
From an initial pool of more than 400 contenders, Cars.com selects a Top 99, so Hyundai had to surpass hundreds of other models to secure its 2025 placements. The Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, IONIQ 5, Tucson, and Santa Cruz all earned recognition.
Randy Parker, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor North America, expressed pride in this recognition: "Having five vehicles on the Cars.com American-Made Index underscores Hyundai's deep commitment to U.S. manufacturing and innovation." He underscores Hyundai's "substantial and ongoing investment in American workers."
With decades of offshoring manufacturing causing buyer unease, many Americans now deliberate to support domestic production. Hyundai embraces this trend by designing cars that reflect genuine "American-Made" principles. Cars.com's index is based on five distinct criteria: the share of U.S. and Canadian parts, the number of U.S. manufacturing jobs, where the vehicle is assembled, and the sources of its engine and transmission. Evaluated by these measures, five of Hyundai's models made the final list.
Achieving a placement on Cars.com's index requires meeting stringent standards—its evaluators are among the most exacting in automotive assessments, providing consumers with reliable data. It's notable for any automaker to land even a couple of models on the list, but Hyundai's success with five entries speaks volumes about their focus on U.S. production. Visit our dealership this year to explore and test drive these American-made Hyundais, including the Santa Cruz and Santa Fe Hybrid.
