Honda planted its roots in the U.S. back in 1959 with just a storefront in California. Today? It’s a nationwide powerhouse with over $25.7 billion invested in American operations, 30,000+ U.S. associates, and 12 manufacturing plants producing the vehicles you count on daily.
At Hendrick Honda Charlotte, we’re proud to represent a brand that puts American workers, innovation, and quality at the center of everything it does. When you choose Honda, you’re backing a company that builds where it sells – and means it.

It’s not just Americans who drive U.S.-made Hondas. Honda exports vehicles from the U.S. to 73 countries, proving that Charlotte-made quality can go toe-to-toe with global standards.
Honda is proud to be the Official Automotive Partner of Team USA and a Founding Partner of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This partnership means Honda will supply electrified vehicles, Motocompacto e-scooters, motorcycles, ATVs, and marine engines for use at both the LA28 Games and the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games.
It’s a full-circle moment for a company that started in California and now supports American athletes on the world stage.
At Hendrick Honda Charlotte, we believe in quality that’s built to last – and built close to home. From the CR-V and Accord to the Civic and Pilot, you’ll find plenty of vehicles on our lot with deep American roots.
Honda in America means smart engineering, U.S. jobs, and vehicles you can count on – whether you're headed to the mountains, the beach, or just across town.
