Finalists Announced For 2018 SEMA Awards

The annual awards recognize the industry's top trend-setting vehicles and the accessories that make them cool.

SEMA Show exhibitors have cast their votes and selected the finalists for the SEMA Awards, an honor presented to automakers to recognize the most accessory friendly vehicles in five categories, including car, truck, 4×4/SUV, sport compact and – for the first time ever – powersports vehicle. The awards will be announced and presented Monday, Oct. 29, at the SEMA Vehicle Reveal, in Las Vegas.

The top three finalists in each category are:

SEMA Car of the Year:

Through the SEMA Awards, SEMA exhibitors that make the products and accessories for today’s popular models identify the vehicle platforms they believe are best for accessorizing.

The program creates awareness for aftermarket products and is an example of the ongoing collaboration SEMA has with automakers and aftermarket manufacturers to bring quality products to market. SEMA also helps aftermarket manufacturers with product development through the SEMA Garage, measuring sessions and technology transfer.
