Sydney, 8th November 2017– Drive has once again named the capacious ŠKODA Superb Wagon 162TSI as its Best Family Car for the second consecutive year.
Conducted by the DriveNetwork, the annual Car of the Year awards recognises the best cars on sale in Australia, based on a range of popular vehicle categories.
The Superb Wagon once again impressed Drive's panel of judges with its luxury appointments, innovative technology, enormous storage capacity and, of course, its raft of trademark Simply Clever features.
Writing on the Superb Wagon's success in the Car of the Year pack, Kez Casey from Drive wrote, "Ultimately it was the sheer space inside, both boot and back seat, plus the high level of standard equipment including three-zone climate control, autonomous emergency braking, and a level of 'premiumness' at an impressively value-oriented price which [competitor cars] just can't match that pushed the Superb to the win," Casey wrote.
Director of ŠKODA Australia, Mr. Michael Irmer, was pleased to see ŠKODA's flagship vehicle sit atop the Family Car podium once again.
"It's great to see the Superb return as the conquering champion of the family car class, especially with such a hotly contested field of opposition this year," Mr. Irmer said.
"I'd like to acknowledge the judges at Drive for awarding the Superb this great accolade again, and thank them for their rigor," Mr Irmer continued.
Since its Australian launch in 2016, the Czech-built Superb has cultivated a solid reputation as a giant-slayer among the large and prestige segments alike. Boasting a range of body styles and efficient engines, the Superb has heralded a new era of ŠKODA design and innovation, while still representing 'more car for the money', as ŠKODA customers have come to expect.
Like all ŠKODAs, the Superb comes standard with a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and capped price servicing every calendar year.
