With rising concerns about international tariffs and vehicle import costs, many car buyers are wondering how these changes will impact the price of their next new car. At JK Subaru in Nederland, TX, we want to help you stay informed. Fortunately, Subaru builds several of its most popular models right here in the United States—including the Subaru Crosstrek, Legacy, Ascent, and Outback.

If you're shopping for a new Subaru in Nederland, Port Arthur, or Orange, TX, choosing one of these American-made models can help you avoid unexpected price increases tied to foreign tariffs. Here's what you need to know.

How Tariffs Can Affect Vehicle Prices

Tariffs are taxes placed on imported goods, and in the auto industry, they can raise the cost of vehicles not manufactured in the U.S. These additional fees often trickle down to the consumer, resulting in higher sticker prices or reduced availability of certain models.

With the ongoing uncertainty around international trade policies, more buyers are turning to vehicles produced in America for greater price stability, faster delivery times, and long-term value.
