2025 United States Tariffs: How Section 301 Auto Tariffs Affect the QX80, QX60, QX55, and QX50

Starting April 2, 2025, a 25% car tariff will be applied to all vehicles not manufactured in the United States under Section 301 tariffs. These auto tariffs will increase the price of many imported vehicles, including several INFINITI models. If you’re considering purchasing an INFINITI, understanding these tariffs and acting before they take effect can save you thousands.
