Milton Keynes, 23 October 2024 – Škoda has once again showcased its prowess in the automotive landscape, clinching three prestigious titles at the 2024 Carbuyer Awards. This remarkable achievement marks the Czech automaker’s third consecutive year of accolades, with the all-new Kodiaq, revamped Octavia, and newly launched Superb dominating their respective categories. The judges praised Škoda for its commitment to practicality, refinement, and outstanding value for money.
Kodiaq: A Family SUV Redefined
The second-generation Škoda Kodiaq made waves as it was awarded the title of Best Large Family Car 2025. This recognition comes as no surprise, considering the Kodiaq’s stellar reputation established by its predecessor, which won the same honor in both 2023 and 2024. The latest model combines functionality with an upscale experience, accommodating up to seven passengers with ease.
Carbuyer Editor Paul Barker lauded the Kodiaq’s spacious and refined cabin, highlighting its user-friendly technology and impressive 71-mile electric range offered by the new Plug-in Hybrid variant. “The quality of Škoda’s recent creations shines through just as brightly,” Barker remarked, emphasizing the brand’s enduring value proposition.
Superb: The Best Estate Car of 2025
Adding to Škoda’s accolades, the all-new Superb was recognized as the Best Estate Car 2025. This fourth-generation model, launched earlier this year, sets a new benchmark in the estate car sector, defying the notion that SUVs reign supreme.
Barker articulated the strengths of the Superb, stating, “None fill the utility wagon role better than the Škoda Superb.” With a vast boot space and a reputation for comfort and efficiency, the Superb excels as a long-distance vehicle, making it an indispensable choice for families and adventurers alike.
Octavia: Consistent Excellence in Family Motoring
Completing the hat-trick, the recently updated Škoda Octavia secured back-to-back wins, taking home the title of Best Family Car 2025. Launched in early summer with enhancements in design and specifications, the Octavia continues to impress with its blend of space, quality, and practicality.
“Comfort levels in the cabin have reached new heights,” Barker noted, praising the Octavia’s smooth ride and quiet powertrains. The model’s “Simply Clever” features further enhance the user experience, ensuring that life with an Octavia runs as smoothly as possible.
Škoda’s continued success at the Carbuyer Awards underscores the brand’s commitment to delivering high-quality vehicles that prioritize the needs of families and drivers. With the Kodiaq, Superb, and Octavia leading their respective categories, Škoda proves that practical, refined, and value-driven cars can also achieve accolades and capture the hearts of consumers. As they forge ahead, the brand’s dedication to innovation and excellence promises a bright future for automotive enthusiasts and families alike.
