The brands that are under particular pressure from the tariff changes are Jaguar, Porsche, Land Rover, Mazda, Audi and Volvo. For these companies, almost 100% of their production is done outside the US. For BMW, that’s 25% of production in the U.S., and Volkswagen 25%.

JP Morgan analysts estimate that foreign automakers will outline more detailed plans in the coming days for including additional production in the U.S., and potentially indicate price increases needed to partially offset the impact of the tariffs.
