The Cars.com American-Made Index recognizes the top 99 vehicles that meet strict American manufacturing standards. Cars.com's specialists apply rigorous benchmarks to determine which models truly qualify as American-made. As consumers increasingly value domestic production, this index grows ever more significant. This year, Hyundai celebrated the inclusion of five of its vehicles.
Hyundai Counts Five Entries on the 2025 Cars.com American-Made Index
Beginning with a selection of over 400 models, Cars.com reduces the list to the Top 99, meaning Hyundai competed against hundreds of rivals to earn spots on the 2025 index. The Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, IONIQ 5, Tucson, and Santa Cruz all made the cut.
Randy Parker, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor North America, highlighted the importance of this accolade: "Having five vehicles on the Cars.com American-Made Index underscores Hyundai's deep commitment to U.S. manufacturing and innovation." He mentions Hyundai's "substantial and ongoing investment in American workers."
Given concerns about manufacturing declines over the past decades, many buyers intentionally choose American-built vehicles to support domestic innovation. Hyundai responds to this demand by ensuring its cars reflect true "American-Made" values. Cars.com evaluates candidates on five criteria: the percentage of U.S. and Canadian-sourced parts, the U.S. manufacturing workforce size, vehicle assembly location, and origin of the engine and transmission. With these factors in mind, five Hyundai models earned their place.
Appearing on Cars.com's index is no small feat—its experts adhere to some of the most demanding standards in automotive analysis, ensuring shoppers get transparent, accurate information. While many manufacturers celebrate just one or two inclusions, Hyundai's five-model achievement underscores their dedication to U.S. production.
