TOWCAR OF THE YEAR AWARDS - Skoda takes the top prize amongst others, as they continue to dominate.

  • New Superb named best in 1,400-1,549kg class, and Overall Winner
  • Superb triumphed over 41 shortlisted vehicles
  • Test regime included emergency lane changes and incline tests
  • Superb praised for its exceptional value, handling and refinement 
ŠKODA has hitched up and driven off with yet another key industry award. The multi-award-winning Superb has been named Overall Winner at the Tow Car Awards 2016 by a panel of experts from The Camping and Caravanning Club, Practical Caravan, and What Car? 

The ŠKODA Superb Hatch 2.0 TDI 150PS SE Business was declared best in class in the ‘1400-1549kg’ weight class and recorded scores high enough for it to clinch the top title. As part of judging process, all 41 shortlisted cars were put through a gruelling test regime that included emergency lane changes, low speed slalom runs, incline tests and emergency brake tests.
All cars were tested solo to judge ride quality, handling and refinement, and were also assessed for running costs, value, standard safety equipment and resale value.
Commenting on the Superb’s remarkable performance, David Motton, Tow Car Editor of Practical Caravanmagazine, said: “The ŠKODA Superb is spacious, great value, and brilliant to tow with. We'd happily pull a tourer or trailer from one end of the country to the other with the Superb, such is its stability, performance and comfort. A worthy overall winner for 2016.”
ŠKODA is no stranger to the Tow Car Awards. The current Octavia was named Overall Winner in 2013, and won its class (up to 1,400kg) in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The Superb range has a braked towing capacity of up to 2,200kg and is available with a wide range of towing options and accessories. These include an integrated tow bar that can be released via a lever in the boot and folded away after use. The Superb also has one of the biggest and most practical boots in the sector, with the Hatch delivering 625 litres of space with the rear seats in position and the Estate offering 660 litres of luggage room.
