Honda in America: Built Here, Driven Everywhere 

Honda's story in the United States began in 1959 with a small storefront in California. Fast forward to today, and Honda has invested more than $25.7 billion in American communities. With 30,000-plus U.S. associates, 12 manufacturing plants, and 21 R&D facilities, Honda's presence here is a full-on commitment to American quality, innovation, and jobs. 

At Ascension Honda in Gonzales, LA, we're proud to represent a brand that not only sells in the U.S. but designs, builds, and tests here, too. 

Manufacturing That Moves America

• Honda CR-V and CR-V Hybrid

• Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid

With over 32 million vehicles and 38 million engines built in the U.S., Honda is manufacturing vehicles and building trust one mile at a time. 

Supporting U.S. Jobs from Start to Finish 

Honda is investing heavily in the future of transportation, with over $1 billion going toward EV manufacturing upgrades in Ohio. A new $4.4 billion EV battery plant, developed with LG Energy Solution, is expected to bring in 2,200 new jobs and power the next generation of Honda vehicles. 

Thanks to flexible manufacturing lines, Honda can now produce gas, hybrid, and electric vehicles on the same line, without slowing down innovation. 

From initial design to final assembly, Honda’s impact is felt across the country: 

• 665 U.S. Suppliers 

• $30.6 Billion Spent with U.S. OEMs in 2024 

• 93,000 Dealership Jobs
