Washington, D.C. (November 1, 2022) – For the first time ever, Lincoln’s Corsair SUV takes the top spot of the Kogod Made in America Auto Index.

Last year, the Corsair had a 25 percent U.S./Canadian content and a foreign-sourced engine. This year, research shows the Corsair increased to 72 percent U.S./Canadian content, which contributed to a total domestic content score of 86. The ranking includes both the Plug-in Hybrid Electric and conventional non-electric model.

Tesla continues to have a strong showing on the index, with five of its cars placing in the top 10, the Model 3 Long Range at #2 and the Model 3 Performance and Model Y tied for #5. The Chevy Corvette Stingray dropped from #2 to #3. The Chevy Colorado is #4 while Jeep’s Cherokee and Latitude models come in at #5.

The index also shows a growth in American content by foreign automobile manufacturers over the past seven years and a decrease in American content by American manufacturers. Since 2015, VW, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia, Nissan, and Honda all increased their U.S. content in vehicle production, while GM, Ford, and Stellantis demonstrated slight decreases in domestic sourcing.
