Mexico Light Vehicle Production INEGI Data Shows Mixed OEM Performance

On December 2025, Mexico Light Vehicle Production INEGI data showed that vehicle manufacturing across the country reached 243,961 units, marking an 8.5 percent increase from the 224,943 vehicles produced in December 2024, based on official statistics released by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography.
The latest Mexico Light Vehicle Production INEGI figures highlight how global and regional automakers adjusted output toward the end of the year, with several OEMs expanding production sharply while others reduced volumes due to model changes, export demand shifts, and factory retooling.
Mexico Light Vehicle Production INEGI: December 2025 OEM Output
Several automakers posted strong year-on-year growth in December, driven by new model ramps and improved export momentum.

• Mazda: 9,606 units, down 29.6 percent

• Honda: 10,447 units, down 21.7 percent

These declines reflect inventory corrections, slower export demand in certain markets, and production line adjustments during the final weeks of the year.
Mexico Light Vehicle Production INEGI: Full-Year 2025 Performance
Despite the strong December rebound, total light vehicle production for full-year 2025 reached 3,953,494 units, which was 0.9 percent lower than the previous year, indicating that early-year slowdowns offset the late recovery.
