Škoda Superb Wins UK Family Car of the Year

The new Škoda Superb has been named Family Car of the Year at the UK Car of the Year Awards, cementing its reputation as the go-to choice in its segment. Judges praised its practicality, value, and all-round ability.

A panel of the top UK automotive journalists, including writers from Top Gear and Auto Express, selected the Superb as the top family car. Top Gear’s Ollie Marriage noted, “The world may be changing fast, but there’s still so much to be said of a car that knows precisely what it’s for.” Auto Express Editor Paul Barker highlighted its practicality: “Clever, spacious, good quality, and really good at all the stuff families will appreciate. Just a great all-rounder.” The Daily Telegraph’s Alex Robbins was even more direct: “There simply is no better family hauler on the market today.”

The award adds to the Superb’s growing list of accolades. It was named Best Estate in the 2024 Auto Express Awards, Best Estate 2025 by Carbuyer, and Comfortable Cruiser of the Year by Carwow.

Now in its fourth generation, the Superb is available in New Zealand as an estate, starting at $74,990+orc. It features a punchy 2.0l TFSI engine producing 195kW of power and 300Nm of torque, with a very respectable 0-100km/h time of 5.7 seconds.

With another major industry award under its belt, the Superb continues to set the standard for family cars.
