Mexico German Car Production : 2025

BMW, Mercedes-Benz and VW/Audi manufacture cars in Mexico. Wage costs, the proximity to the US and Mexico having extensive free trade agreements contribute to the desirability to have plants there. 

BMW: The 2-Series Coupe, M2 and 3-Series are made here. A battery assembly facility is also underway with BEV models to made here in future. 

Mercedes-Benz: The GLB is made at a joint venture plant with Nissan assembly but that will cease in mid 2026, ending M-B production in Mexico.

VW/Audi: The Audi Q5 is made here, along with three VW models. The Golf will come here in 2027 and BEV models are planned. 

Summary: In total, 634,800 vehicles were made here by German manufacturers. M-B soon leaving is a blip but there will be continued investment by the other two companies.
