The all-new Škoda Kodiaq has solidified its reputation as a benchmark in family motoring by securing the prestigious Family Car of the Year title at the 2024 Scottish Car of the Year (SCOTY) Awards. This accolade, presented by the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW), marks yet another milestone in the Kodiaq’s celebrated journey.
A Legacy of Excellence
Škoda’s flagship SUV has come full circle with this award, as the first-generation Kodiaq also claimed its inaugural SCOTY title seven years ago. The second-generation model, introduced in the UK earlier this year, builds on its predecessor’s success, delivering enhanced practicality, advanced technology, and a seamless blend of comfort and quality.
Praised by Experts
Judged by a panel of seasoned road testers and motoring journalists, the SCOTY Awards spotlight the best vehicles launched in the UK within the past year. In a fiercely competitive Family Car category, the Kodiaq stood out for its all-round ability and exceptional practicality. The panel applauded its spacious seven-seat layout, thoughtful design, and impressive comfort, deeming it an unbeatable choice for families.
ASMW representatives lauded the Kodiaq as a vehicle that “ticks every box for today’s family needs, offering versatility and refinement in equal measure.”
Building an Award-Winning Tradition
The Kodiaq’s latest accolade is a continuation of its winning streak. Earlier this year, it was named Best Large Family Car 2025 by Carbuyer and earned high commendations at the Carwow Awards and Parkers New Car Awards. Its predecessor, launched in 2016, garnered over 120 industry accolades, proving the Kodiaq’s enduring appeal.
Škoda’s success at the SCOTY Awards is nothing new, with the Škoda Enyaq earning the Overall Car of the Year title in 2021.
Innovation Meets Family-Friendly Versatility
Available in both five- and seven-seater configurations, the new Kodiaq introduces a cutting-edge plug-in hybrid drivetrain capable of delivering up to 75 miles on electric power alone. This innovation aligns with the brand’s commitment to sustainable motoring without compromising on practicality or performance.
Excitement is set to grow further with the 2025 arrival of a high-performance vRS variant, promising to add a dynamic edge to the Kodiaq range.
The Škoda Kodiaq: An Industry Benchmark
Winning the Family Car of the Year at the SCOTY Awards reinforces the Kodiaq’s position as a go-to choice for families seeking a reliable, stylish, and versatile SUV. Whether ferrying children to school or embarking on long road trips, the Kodiaq consistently delivers on its promise of excellence.
