When you buy a car built in the US by American workers, you’re supporting the country’s manufacturing base. You will also support the countless parts manufacturers throughout the country. Here’s a list of the top 5 American-made cars this year:
Honda Insight
The Honda Insight is a four-door compact sedan that features a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain that provides excellent gas mileage. Its EPA fuel-economy ratings are as much as 49 mpg on the highway and 55 mpg in city limits. Usually, hybrids get better mileage in cities.
While the base Insight LX model comes packed with advanced safety technologies and driver assistance features (like automatic emergency braking), you should consider upgrading to at least the EX trim level. The base model features a 5-inch display audio system, while the EX gets an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment setup supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Lexus ES
Just like Cadillacs and Lincolns, Lexus also makes luxury cars and SUVs. One of Lexus’ most luxurious cars is the ES, a four-door midsize sedan that’s well-appointed and comfortable.
Lexus offers the ES in two configurations: Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive models have a 302-horsepower V6, while all-wheel-drive models feature a 203-horsepower four-cylinder. The ES’ cabin features either a 12.3-inch or 8-inch infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa Auto, and Android Auto. Its standard equipment list includes a wide range of safety technologies and active driver assistance features, including lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and automatic high-beam headlights.
Subaru Legacy
The groundbreaking Legacy midsize-sedan is packed with many standard safety technologies, a comfortable cabin, and a low starting price. It’s also the only midsize sedan on the market that comes standard with all-wheel drive.
Subaru Legacy offers two engines – a 260-horsepower turbocharged boxer four-cylinder and a 182-horsepower horizontally opposed (boxer) four-cylinder — both matched to CTV (continuously variable automatic transmissions).
Base Legacy models are equipped with 7-inch touch-screen systems that support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Choose a more advanced model to get an 11.6-inch touch screen. All Legacys come equipped with Subaru Eyesight, a suite of advanced driver assistance and safety technologies.
