Published: 26 September 2008
The Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI has won the overall title in The Caravan Club Towcar of the Year Awards 2009.
The car, which also won the £20,000 to £25,000 class, beat 37 rivals to the title.
The Superb’s design, load-carrying capability, practicality and outstanding value for money were all praised by the judges, who said: “Superb buyers will get a stylish, modern and practical car with great fit and finish. One of its best features is the rear load compartment.
The ‘caravanability’ judges found it would take a full load of caravanning equipment, and highlighted the Skoda’s rear tailgate design that can be opened as a conventional saloon boot or hatchback.
Grenville Chamberlain, Caravan Club Chairman, commented: “Skoda should be proud of its achievement in this rigorous competition and the Superb 2.0 TDI is sure to be a popular towing vehicle with our members.”
Skoda UK Brand Director Robert Hazelwood said: “We are very proud to have won this prestigious award. The Superb offers class-leading levels of space, comfort and equipment, and is sure to be a winner in the towcar market.”
