Tariffs

The 2026 Jeep Compass has debuted with a choice of electrified powertrains and one massive elephant in the room: the U.S. tariff situation.

What we know is how the tariffs are likely to impact your experience in buying a new or used car in the coming months, and what you should and shouldn’t do right now.

Without concrete plans from automakers or finalized tariffs on parts, it’s hard to say how much the tariffs will add to car prices.

Even if you’re not shopping for a new car, the latest round of tariffs on raw materials, vehicles and vehicle parts could cause financial strain on another front: car insurance.

The new tariffs went into effect April 3, so here’s everything you need to know about this latest announcement.

If you own a car, you’ll likely feel the heat of tariffs eventually through higher insurance rates and/or repair or maintenance work on your car.

Not only is finding a vehicle under $30K going to be tough, but they may become even more scarce if tariffs on imported cars stick around for the long haul.

How can you tell if a vehicle was built in the U.S.? The vehicle identification number is one place to start, as well as a car's Monroney label, or window sticker.

Brands with more inventory offer more choices for consumers, and if you’re in the market for a new car, it may mean the difference between finding one that meets your needs or not.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced the implementation of 25% tariffs on all automotive imports as well as what he calls “reciprocal tariffs” on all imports. Here’s what it means for car shoppers.
