Škoda Celebrates Major Success at the 2026 What Car? Awards
There’s more great news from Lightcliffe, as the brand has enjoyed an outstanding showing at the 2026 What Car? Awards, picking up multiple category wins and Best Buy accolades — further reinforcing its reputation for quality, value and everyday usability.
Leading the celebrations is the ever-popular Škoda Superb Estate, which has reclaimed the prestigious Estate Car of the Year title after a two-year hiatus. Having previously held this award for an impressive eight consecutive years, the Superb Estate once again stood out from the competition thanks to its exceptional space, practicality and wide choice of drivetrain options. The What Car? judging panel highlighted its family-friendly design, impressive luggage capacity and refined, comfortable driving experience.
What Car? Editor Steve Huntingford praised the Superb Estate for being “absolutely immense inside” while remaining easy and enjoyable to drive, making it an ideal choice for families and those who regularly cover longer distances.
The success continued with the Škoda Kodiaq, which was crowned Tow Car of the Year after outperforming strong competition across multiple weight categories. The judges commended its stability, confidence at speed and all-round versatility, describing it as one of the most complete tow cars available today.
In addition to these category wins, Škoda also secured three What Car? Best Buy awards, recognising models that deliver exceptional real-world value. The Scala was named Best Value Family Car, the Elroq Best Value Electric SUV, and the Kodiaq Best Value Seven-Seat SUV.
