What Trump’s 2025 Nissan Tariffs Mean for Nissan Buyers and Owners in Vero Beach

If you’re shopping for a Nissan or servicing your current one, there’s something you need to know: new federal tariffs are shaking up vehicle pricing across the country. In April 2025, the Trump administration enacted a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and many auto parts. The ripple effect is already being felt by car buyers, dealerships, and service centers—especially for brands that rely on global manufacturing. Here at Nissan of Vero Beach, we’re breaking down exactly how these Nissan tariffs could impact you locally.

What Nissan Models Will Be Affected by Tariffs?

Nissan produces several of its top-selling models in the United States, which is good news for your wallet. Cars built on American soil are less likely to be hit with the 25% import fee, meaning more stable pricing for buyers here in Florida.

  • Nissan Altima – Proudly made in Smyrna, Tennessee. No tariff impact on pricing for this popular midsize sedan. 
  • Nissan Murano – Also built in Tennessee. Assembled in the U.S. with mostly domestic parts, so you’re in the clear. 
  • Nissan Frontier – Built in Canton, Mississippi. This Nissan truck model is largely protected from pricing increases due to its American roots. 
  • Nissan Rogue – Mixed production. Some units come from Smyrna, others from Japan. Double-check the origin before you buy—Japanese-assembled Nissan Rogues may see a price bump. 
  • Nissan Sentra & Nissan Kicks – Both models are made in Mexico. These are most likely to see price increases due to the new Nissan tariffs unless offset by dealership incentives or U.S.-based parts sourcing.

How the Nissan Tariffs Affect Nissan Parts & Repairs

The impact of the Nissan tariffs goes beyond the showroom. Many repair parts—especially high-tech components like transmissions, sensors, and ECUs—are manufactured outside the U.S. Now that these items face a 25% import tax, repair costs could start creeping up, even if your vehicle was built here.

This could look like:

  • Higher labor and parts bills at local service centers 
  • Longer wait times for certain parts to arrive 
  • Increased insurance premiums to offset rising repair costs
