Toyota C-HR - Turkey
Yup, this one sure is random. It's no secret Toyota builds most of the cars it sells in the United States in the United States. It's also no secret that this Japanese company still builds cars in Japan. But in Turkey? Well, the C-HR is one of the few Toyotas sold here with appeal in most global markets.Toyota C-HR Information

Audi Q3 - Spain
VW Group's Spanish brand, Seat, has a factory in Martorell, Spain, where it produces a variety of its cars. It also produces the Q3, which is at least mechanically related to some of those Seats.Find this deal in your area

-
Jaguar E-Pace and I-Pace - Austria
Sometimes a car company will run out of production capacity at their own facilities and will turn to a third-party production outfit like Magna Steyr in Austria. This is the case with the Jaguar E-Pace and I-Pace.Find this deal in your area

-
Mini Countryman - The Netherlands
Here's your answer to the question: Name a car made in the Netherlands. OK, other than Spyker. Like the Jags in Austria, the Countryman is built in the Netherlands because Mini doesn't have the production capacity in Great Britain.Find this deal in your area

-
Mitsubishi Mirage - Thailand
Car production is common in southeast Asia, but it's uncommon for the vehicles built there to end up in the United States. The Mirage is an exception.Find this deal in your area

-
Toyota Yaris - France
Other cars sold in the United States that are built in France: Smart Fortwo, Bugatti Chiron.
Toyota expects to sell so few Yaris hatchbacks in the United States, it doesn't even bother producing them in a country where it might actually make some money on them. This is a European-market car that Toyota just ships over because it can. The Yaris' scarcity of variations and options is further proof.

Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class - Hungary
This family of front-wheel-drive Mercedes is produced all over the place. The CLA-Class is produced in Kecskemét, Hungary, along with the B-Class and CLA Shooting Brake.Mercedes-Benz CLA Information
-
Infiniti QX30 - Great Britain
The QX30 may hail from a Japanese company. It may actually be a German car under the skin. Nevertheless, it is built in Sunderland, England, alongside many other Nissan vehicles. The Mercedes GLA-Class upon which it's based is actually made in Germany. As we just saw, the also-related CLA is built in Hungary.Infiniti QX30 Information
-
Dodge Challenger - Canada
Yep, one of the brashest, V8-packing, tire-smoking, unapologetically American cars is actually built in Canada. Including the Hellcat. And the Demon, during its production run. The Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300, too.Find this deal in your area

Buick Cascada - Poland
Buicks hail from all over the place. As we just saw, the Envision is built in China. The Encore in Korea. The Regal in Germany. And this, the Cascada in Poland at an Opel factory now owned by France's PSA Group. Only the LaCrosse and Enclave are built in the United States.Buick Cascada Information
-
Honda Civic Hatchback - Great Britain
The Honda Civic coupe and sedan are built in either Indiana or Canada. Every hatchback, however, is built in England. Presumably this is because of the greater popularity of hatchbacks in Europe.Find this deal in your area

-
Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class - Finland
Global demand for the GLC-Class is so great that Mercedes has needed to expand production beyond Germany. As a result, the GLC you buy may come from Finland. Cars as diverse as the Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Fisker Karma, and various Saabs have been built at the same Valmet facility in Uusikaupunki, Finland.Mercedes-Benz GLC Information
-
BMW X5 M and X6 M - United States
You probably know that BMW produces the bulk of its SUV fleet in the United States. In fact, the X5 has always been assembled in South Carolina. However, we suspect there are those around the world who would be just as surprised to find out that such high-dollar German cars are sourced from the American South. Same goes for the various Mercedes SUVs built in Alabama.Find this deal in your area
