In March 2025,  338,669 light vehicles were manufactured in Mexico , which represented an increase of 12.1% compared to the same month in 2024, according to figures from the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) .

According to information from the  Administrative Registry of the Light Vehicle Automotive Industry (RAIAVL) , 973,485 cars were manufactured in the country between January and March 2025 , representing a 4.8% increase compared to the same period last year.

Of the total manufactured in the first quarter of the year, light trucks represented  76.1% , with  740,931 units , while the remainder corresponded to automobile manufacturing, with  232,554 automobiles .

During the period,  Toyota  excelled in its domestic production, with a  116% increase  to 78,464 units  compared to  36,330  in the same cycle in 2024.

KIA  also showed good results in terms of its manufacturing, with a  24.1% increase  in the first quarter of 2025 with  68,560 units  compared to the  55,250  cars produced in the same period last year.

Ford  recorded an increase in its production during that period, with an increase of 14.4% , reaching 102,732 units .

Exports on the rise

INEGI also announced that the export of light vehicles manufactured in Mexico during March 2025 amounted to 296,964 units , representing an annual increase of 3.8% .

However, in the first quarter of this year, shipments abroad showed a decrease of 6.04% , with 775,866 vehicles exported , compared to 825,707 vehicles in the same period in 2024.

In the period January-March 2025, the United States  was the main destination for light vehicle exports, with  83% reaching 643,894 units , followed by  Canada  with  67,080  cars , which represented  8.6%  of shipments abroad.

Among the brands that registered the highest exports in the first quarter of this year were Toyota, with a  120% increase  over the same period in 2024. KIA followed with a  22.9% increase , and Ford with a 9.3% increase .

According to data from INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Census), vehicle exports increased in the third quarter of the year, with the United States becoming the main buyer of cars manufactured in Mexico. This is despite the fact that Donald Trump , president of Mexico, has reiterated that he does not want cars manufactured in Mexico or Canada in the United States.

The increase in vehicle shipments to that country also comes after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on April 3 on cars entering the United States from several countries around the world, including Mexico, one of its main North American trading partners.
