How Tariffs Will Affect Mazda
New tariffs will be enforced on imported vehicles and auto parts, which will add complexity when it comes to leasing, financing, and buying cars. If you are considering a new vehicle or just want to stay informed, it is important to understand the basics of these changes and how they might affect car prices. 
Although some tariff information was discussed earlier in March, some details became clearer on April 2, 2025, when the U.S. government introduced the “Liberation Day” tariff package. This would place a 25% tariff on imported passenger vehicles, a 25% tariff on key auto parts (with some exceptions for USMCA-compliant vehicles and parts), and add reciprocal tariffs, which are needed for most vehicle production. With all of that said, it's important to know that a vehicle’s final price depends on the origin of every one of its parts, and that there is no such thing as a vehicle made 100% in the United States. An engine by itself can contain more than 1,000 individual parts, each of which requires materials that could be sourced from different countries than where they are manufactured. Stay tuned as more information on U.S tariffs is revealed.
