The ŠKODA Superb Estate has driven off with the prestigious 2014 Caravan Club Towcar of the Year title.

Milton Keynes, 25th September 2013 - The ŠKODA Superb Estate also claimed three individual category victories.

The new Octavia repeated the multiple successes of its predecessor, with the SE 1.2 TSI 105PS Hatch model named best towcar in the £16,000 - £20,000 category. The judging panel singled out the Octavia’s pulling power for special praise, commenting: “For such a little engine, the Octavia breezed around the hill route.”

The recently refreshed Superb Estate Elegance 2.0 TDI CR 170PS 4x4 DSG not only triumphed in the £25,000 - £31,000 category, it was also named the winner in the All-Terrain Under 1,800kg category and awarded overall Towcar of the Year.

The judges were impressed by the Superb Estate’s all-round ability, saying: “With a loading limit of 100kg on the roof, 80kg on the towball and a boot that scored maximum marks, it’s a very tough act to follow. You wouldn’t know you were towing a caravan!”

Announcing the award winners, Grenville Chamberlain, Caravan Club Chairman, added, “The Club extends its congratulations to all the winners in this competition. Special acclaim goes to the terrific ŠKODA Superb, which demonstrated that it was just about as good as it gets.”

Commenting on the latest awards, Alasdair Stewart, Brand Director for ŠKODA UK said: “We’re delighted to receive these important awards from the Caravan Club. At ŠKODA, we’re always working hard to meet the needs of caravan owners and understand the unique requirements that go into making a great towcar.”

ŠKODA has enjoyed considerable success in previous Caravan Club Towcar of the Year awards, having won the overall title in 2010 for the Superb, and scored category victories for the Fabia, Yeti and Octavia.

In the early 1900s, the Laurin & Klement Co could do no wrong and their first car, the Voiturette A, was a huge success, becoming a classic in Czech motoring history. The company established a stable position in the developing international market. When war began in 1914, it started manufacturing for the armed forces too. Because of the economic conditions in Czechoslovakia at the time, Laurin and Klement needed a strong industrial partner to strengthen and modernise their company. They were now not only producing a range of cars, but also trucks, buses, aeroplane engines and agricultural machinery, such as motorised ploughs. They merged with Pizen Skodovka Co in 1925 and became ŠKODA.
