LAS VEGAS, Oct. 31, 2018—The top trending vehicle models in five categories were announced today at the 2018 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nev.

Selected by manufacturing exhibitors of the world’s premier automotive trade show, the SEMA Vehicle of the Year award winners are:

  • SEMA Car of the Year: Ford Mustang

  • SEMA 4x4/SUV of the Year: Jeep Wrangler
  • SEMA Sport Compact of the Year: Ford Focus

Voted on by SEMA Show exhibitors, the SEMA Award winners represent the cars, trucks and SUVs that aftermarket manufacturers are investing in and developing products and accessories for. 

With three SEMA Award winning vehicles this year, Ford continues a long history of collaboration with the aftermarket community. The automaker was among the first to participate in the Tech Transfer Program and provide advance details to aftermarket manufacturers for product development.

The Jeep Wrangler, which remains the reigning SEMA 4x4/SUV of the Year winner, has also been a favorite of the aftermarket community. The vehicle provides outstanding options for every day driving or for off-roading.

New this year is the Powersports Vehicle of the Year, presented to Polaris for the RZR XP Turbo S.
