Does the Honda Civic qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Honda Civic is built and what it means for your loan interest.

DEPENDS — assembly varies by VIN
The Honda Civic may qualify, depending on your VIN. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
Honda builds the Civic in Greensburg, Indiana, but also in Alliston, Ontario, so US-market Civics come from both sides of the border. A Civic passes the OBBBA assembly test only if your specific VIN decodes to the Indiana plant. Even then, the new, personal-use, loan, and income tests still apply.
Where the Honda Civic is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Greensburg (Honda Indiana) | Greensburg, IN | ✓ United States |
⚠️ Civics are built in Greensburg, IN and in Alliston, Ontario, Canada. US-market cars come from both, so the VIN determines eligibility.
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly result is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Is the Honda Civic made in the USA?
Some are. Civics are assembled in Greensburg, Indiana and in Alliston, Ontario, Canada. A US-built Civic passes the assembly test; a Canadian-built one fails, so check the VIN.
Does the Civic Type R or hybrid qualify?
It depends on the plant, not the trim. Decode the VIN — if the final-assembly country is the US, it passes; if it's Canada, it fails.
How do I tell where my Civic was built?
A VIN beginning with 1, 4, or 5 is US-assembled; a VIN beginning with 2 is Canadian. Our checker reads it for you in seconds.
