Honda’s Dominance in the American-Made Index: A Testament to Quality and Reliability

When it comes to vehicles built with American craftsmanship and ingenuity, Honda has once again proven its commitment to excellence. In the 2024 Cars.com American-Made Index, Honda has three models in the top 10, showcasing their dedication to manufacturing vehicles that resonate with American values and standards. Let’s explore these top-ranking models and why they stand out.

Honda Passport: The Reliable Companion

The Honda Passport, ranking second on the list, is a standout SUV that blends rugged capability with everyday practicality. Built in Alabama, the Passport is designed for both adventure and comfort, making it a perfect choice for those weekend getaways to Borderland State Park or family trips to the Norwood Sport Center. With a spacious interior, advanced safety features, and a powerful V6 engine, the Passport ensures that every journey is as enjoyable as the destination.

Honda Odyssey: The Family Favorite

Next on the list, at fifth place, is the Honda Odyssey. This minivan has long been favored by families for its versatility and reliability. Assembled in Lincoln, Alabama, the Odyssey is renowned for its innovative Magic Slide® seats, extensive safety features, and top-notch entertainment system. Whether you’re driving the kids to Coakley Middle School or heading to Acapulcos for a family dinner, the Odyssey provides a smooth, safe, and enjoyable ride for everyone.

Honda Ridgeline: The Multifaceted Truck

The Honda Ridgeline, occupying the sixth spot, is not your typical pickup truck. It combines the utility of a truck with the comfort of an SUV, making it a versatile choice for both work and play. Built in Lincoln, Alabama, the Ridgeline offers a unique in-bed trunk, a dual-action tailgate, and a spacious, comfortable interior. It’s perfect for a trip to Castle Island Brewing for some local craft beers or hauling gear for a weekend adventure at Blue Hills Reservation.

Methodology Behind the Rankings

The American-Made Index (AMI) considers several factors to determine which vehicles qualify as the most American-made. These factors include the location of final assembly, the percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts, the origin of the engine and transmission, and the size of the U.S. manufacturing workforce involved in the production of the vehicle. Honda’s strong performance in these criteria highlights its significant contribution to the American economy and workforce.
