Understanding the Tariff Impact on Chevrolet
Denver drivers—We wanted to give you a heads-up about some possible changes that might affect car prices soon. Starting April 2, 2025, a new 25% tariff could be applied to vehicles not manufactured in the United States. Here’s what that could mean for you.
Important Updates: Answering your Questions on Potential Tariffs on Imported Vehicles
Uncertain Impact on Future Pricing
At this point, it’s unclear exactly how these tariffs will influence vehicle prices. Factors like supply chain adjustments and manufacturer responses will play a role. Rest assured, we’re keeping a close eye on the situation and will keep you updated as we learn more. Price changes could be as high as 25% on select models, but economists have suggested the average cost increase may be around 13-16% for all vehicles.
Current Inventory Unaffected
Good news! Any vehicles currently on our lot won’t be impacted by these tariffs. Currently we have over 240 vehicles that are completely free of tariffs and will incur no additional cost. That means if you’re considering a new ride, now’s a great time to check out our selection without worrying about potential price increases.
Potential Price Increase on Imported Vehicles
If the proposed tariffs take effect, vehicles imported after April 2 could experience price increases. For instance, the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer, starting at $23,100, could see an increase of approximately $5,775 due to a 25% tariff, raising the estimated price to around $28,875. If you are in the market, planning ahead could result in significant savings.
Chevrolet Models Manufactured in the USA
Luckily, several Chevrolet models are built right here in the U.S. These vehicles wouldn’t be subject to the new tariffs, but they may incur price increases due to parts that are subject to tariffs. Check out these American-made options:
