The Dodge Charger (2011-2017), Ford Fusion (2013-2016), and Chrysler 200 (2010-2014) took first, second and third place (respectively) in the Midsize Sedan category. The Jeep Wrangler (2007-2016) took top in the Small Crossover/SUV category, while the Toyota 4Runner (2010-2016) won in the Midsize Crossover/SUV category and the Hyundai Santa Fe (2103-2016) took the Full-size Crossover/SUV category.
