Tariff's aren't to blame. It's all about the volume that get sold here.

There'll only be a few changes to meet ADR but to do those costs auto manufacturers quite a lot of money. Well, not so much more than it would for any other market, but there are less cars to spread the cost across. Think of everything that adds to the cost of a car: training and support systems, marketing operations, generous dealership profits, shipping, etc... over a low volume all this has a substantial effect.
