2025 Cars.com American-Made Index: Which Cars Are the Most American?

Now celebrating its 20th year of publication, Cars.com’s American-Made Index has once again ranked all qualifying vehicles built and bought in the U.S. for model-year 2025. The results at the top may not be surprising — Tesla’s Model 3 sedan returns to the top spot after abdicating in deferment to the Model Y SUV for 2024 — but as happens every year, movement throughout the index reveals a number of developing stories in the automotive industry.
