Where is Honda Made?

You’ve enjoyed the performance and reliability of Honda vehicles on Irvine streets, but have you ever wondered: “Where is Honda made?” The answer, as it turns out, is not simply the name of one city. Though Honda was founded in Hamamatsu, Japan and the company’s headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, the vehicles you see on U.S. roads were not made in Japan. If you’ve been wondering “Where are Honda CR-V’s made?”, you’ll find your answer below!

Honda: Made in What Country?

Where are Honda Civics made? While you may watch a Honda Civic roll down Yorba Linda streets and assume it was made in Japan, the brand’s country of origin, you might be surprised to find that it was likely manufactured in the U.S. In 2016, Honda opened its 12th U.S. manufacturing plant—that makes for a lot of made-in-America Hondas! See a list of the eight Honda plants that make vehicles below (the other four manufacture parts):

• Two Plants in Marysville, Ohio
• East Liberty, Ohio
• Lincoln, Alabama
• Greensburg, Indiana
• Timmonsville, South Carolina
• Swepsonville, North Carolina
• Greensboro, North Carolina

Honda Among Top American-Made Cars

Cars.com tracks the top 100 cars made in America with the site’s American-Made Index. Where does Honda rank? In the top 10! Several times, in fact. According to the 2018 American-Made Index, the Honda Odyssey was the second most “American-made” vehicle on the market. That’s not all, the Honda Pilot, made at a manufacturing facility in Lincoln, Alabama, came in at number six on the list.
