It's a Stellantis year as its brands lead four of six categories at SEMA show's annual count.

  • Dodge Challenger is the most popular car at the SEMA show this year.
  • SEMA personnel walked the show floor and counted to see which vehicles were the best-represented among aftermarket parts companies and picked winners in six categories.
  • Other winners include Toyota GR86, Jeep Wrangler, Ram truck, Jeep Gladiator, and the Volkswagen ID.4, the winner in the new electric-vehicle category.

    Every year the staff at SEMA walks the show floor just before opening day and counts the cars. And every year it picks a winner: the most common car they see, the one most popular with customizers and the aftermarket parts industry.

    This year’s winner? The Dodge Challenger.

    “The SEMA Award recognizes the hottest new vehicles on the market that offer the greatest opportunities for customization,” said Warren Kosikov, SEMA vice president of sales. “SEMA Award-winning vehicles are setting worldwide trends in the automotive enthusiast industry.”

    While Challenger won for Car of the Year, there were a total of six categories, recognizing popular models in classes ranging from compact car to SUVs and trucks. This year there was even a category for electric cars. Here are all the winners:

    • Car of the Year: Dodge Challenger
    • Sport Compact of the Year: Toyota GR86
    • 4×4/SUV of the Year: Jeep Wrangler
    • Full-size Truck of the Year: Ram
    • Mid-Size Truck of the Year: Jeep Gladiator
    • Electric Vehicle of the Year: Volkswagen ID.4

      The Awards were presented to manufacturers during the SEMA Show Monday Reveal, where media and exhibitors get a sneak peek at some of the vehicles debuting at the 2022 trade-only event. As the four-day SEMA Show opens, the business-to-business trade show features thousands of uniquely modified project vehicles.

      The awards show that aftermarket manufacturers are investing more in the Dodge Challenger, Toyota GR86, Jeep Wrangler, Ram, Jeep Gladiator, and Volkswagen ID.4 than any other vehicle in their categories. You could even say those are the coolest cars, trucks and SUVs on the market today. If you want to personalize your vehicle, those are the ones with the most options open to you.
