Škoda Superb wins Caravan Club Towcar of the Year!!!

The New 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 Ł20,000 to Ł25,000 class, beat 37 rivals to the title, including the defending champion, the Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.5 T Estate. 

The Superb’s stylish 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 loved the Škoda’s unique rear tailgate design that can be opened as a conventional saloon boot or hatchback.

“The Superb is what you’d call a thoroughly nice car. There is acres of room for everyone, comfortable seats and the driver is rewarded by a powerful but quiet engine and one of the slickest six-speed gearboxes around. Our guess is that it will become one of the all-time caravanning favourites.”  

Now in their 26th year, The Caravan Club Towcar of the Year Awards are among the most influential honours in the sector. The overall title guarantees fantastic publicity for the winner, with pride of place in a special supplement sent out to every one of the Caravan Club’s almost half a million member households. Winning the award should provide a fantastic boost for sales in what has been a growing market over the past few years, with many young families in particular discovering the joys of caravanning. 

Škoda 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.”
