A helpful document from the US government now offers a clear look at just how “American-made” the cars for sale in the country really are. Known as the American Automotive Labeling Act (AALA) list, this document provides details on five key aspects.
First, it reveals the percentage of a car that’s made in the US or Canada, without distinguishing between the two. Second, it specifies where the final assembly takes place. Next, it offers insight into the origins of the engine and transmission. Finally, it also details the percentage of a car that comes from other continents. For example, one version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is 29% made in America, 29% made in Korea, and 33% Hungarian.
