New vehicle prices in America are set to rise due to tariffs, affecting nearly every car model. However, some cars may still be worth the increased cost.
The 25% tariff on imported new cars is already a significant increase. Additionally, plans are in place to impose a similar tariff on imported car parts, further raising prices.
Ferrari has raised its prices by 10%, while others like BMW M3 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N offer a balance of performance and practicality at a lower cost.
For those seeking sports cars, models like Nissan Z and Mazda MX-5 are entirely made outside the US, so price hikes will apply. However, good deals on these cars can still be found for now.
The author recommends Audi’s RS3 and Porsche’s 911 GT3 due to their excellent performance, powertrain, and everyday usability. These high-end models are worth the investment despite tariff increases.
