Volkswagen’s ID.4 electric SUV, which the German automaker assembles at its plant in Chattanooga, ranked No. 10 on Cars.com’s annual American-made index.
The index ranks vehicles based on their assembly location, parts sourcing, engine sourcing, transmission sourcing and their U.S. factory employment relative to vehicle production.
Cars.com, a vehicle-shopping marketplace, evaluated more than 400 vehicles from the 2025 model year to identify the 99 that contribute the most to the U.S. economy through manufacturing, parts sourcing and employment, according to a press release from the company.
Texas-based Tesla claimed the top four spots for the second time since its debut on the index in 2020. The Jeep Gladiator came in at No. 5. Honda’s Alabama facility produces five of the year’s top 20 vehicles, including the Ridgeline, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot and Acura MDX. Kia’s West Point, Georgia, plant builds both the EV6 and the Sportage, which also appear in the top 20. The ID.4 is one of only two non-Tesla EV’s in the top 20.
