Where Honda Vehicles Are Built: Inside U.S. Production & Design
Celebrating 50 Years of Honda Research & Development 
Honda's American story is one of vision, dedication, and community investment. What started in 1959 with a modest storefront in Southern California has grown into a nationwide footprint, including 12 manufacturing plants and more than $25.7 billion invested in U.S. operations.*

But Honda's true investment? It's in people.

From the engineers designing the next generation of mobility to the skilled associates building every vehicle with care, Honda's commitment goes far beyond the assembly line. Empowering local talent to dream big has led to lasting careers, technological breakthroughs, and products that reach from the pavement to the skies.

As your local Honda experts, we're proud to support a brand that doesn't just build in America, it builds for America.
