ŠKODA Kodiaq, Superb and Octavia win titles at Auto Express New Car Awards

ŠKODA wins big at the 2017 Auto Express New Car Awards as the new Kodiaq, Superb and Octavia took home three category wins and ŠKODA was recognised with a special award for its Reconnection advertising campaign.

Kodiaq was named as the winner of the Best Large SUV title and Auto Express Editor-in-Chief Steve Fowler said: “The new Kodiaq offers family-friendly practicality in a more stylish body than a conventional MPV, while features such as the slick infotainment system and all of the brand’s usual Simply Clever touches combine with ŠKODA’s affordable pricing to make the Kodiaq the best large SUV on sale.

Retaining its crown in the Best Family Car category, Steve Fowler had this to say on the Superb’s win: “The Superb took the title of Best Family Car for the third year in a row thanks to its blend of practicality, efficiency and tech at affordable prices. Plenty of legroom inside allied to a big boot mean few families will need more room, while ŠKODA’s Simply Clever touches ensure the Superb will integrate into your family’s life without fuss.”

Completing ŠKODA’s triple win, the Octavia Estate won the Estate Car of the Year category. Commenting on why the Octavia stood out in this category, Steve Fowler said: “With its 610-litre load bay, the Octavia delivers what an estate car should, offering plenty of practicality and versatility. But the ŠKODA is far from just a big box. Affordable prices mixed with a decent level of kit on most models and an efficient line-up of engines means the Octavia Estate won’t break the bank to buy or run.”

As one of the most influential car awards in the automotive industry, the Auto Express New Car Awards has consistently praised ŠKODA in several categories and the brand has won an impressive 11 titles over the last five years. ŠKODA has also been recognised elsewhere, with the Superb being named the most satisfying car to own in the title’s annual Driver Power satisfaction survey and the brands Reconnection advertising campaign winning the award for Best Integrated Advertising Campaign 2017.
