Which Honda Vehicles Are Built in America?
Many drivers are surprised to learn just how much of Honda’s manufacturing takes place in the United States.
Honda has been building vehicles in America for more than 40 years and currently operates multiple manufacturing facilities across Ohio, Alabama, Indiana, and Georgia.
Some of Honda’s most popular American-built vehicles include:
Honda Passport
The rugged Honda Passport is built in Lincoln, Alabama and designed to handle everything from daily commuting to weekend adventures.

The versatile Honda Ridgeline pickup truck combines truck capability with Honda comfort and reliability. It’s also assembled in Alabama and ranked among the most American-made vehicles in the country.
Honda Odyssey
Families continue to choose the Honda Odyssey thanks to its spacious interior, advanced safety features, and reputation for long-term dependability, and also built in Alabama.
Honda Accord
One of America’s best-selling cars for the past 50 years, the Honda Accord has been built right here in Ohio since 1982, making it the first Honda model produced in the US! 40 years later, it’s still produced in the Marysville plant, and remains one of the most trusted midsize sedans on the road.
Why “American-Made” Matters
For many car shoppers, choosing an American-made vehicle is about more than just where the vehicle is assembled.
