Škoda cruises to a Carwow Car of the Year 2025 award

Two of Škoda’s newest arrivals have been honoured in the 2025 Carwow Car of the Year Awards. The all-new Superb and Kodiaq, which arrived in the UK earlier this year, were both recognised as exceptional offerings in their respective classes with the Superb topping its category and the Kodiaq winning a ‘Highly Commended’ accolade. In selecting its winners, the Carwow jury considered more than 100 new models before awarding just 13 category winners.

Leading the way for Škoda was the all-new, fourth-generation Suberb, which was named as Car of the Year in Carwow’s Comfortable Cruiser category. The judging panel praised the new model for its exceptional practicality and long-distance comfort.

Explaining why the Superb topped the category, Chief Content Officer Mat Watson said: “The Superb has always been a comfortable way to get around, but the new version turns things up a notch, and brings a genuinely lovely interior into the mix, alongside the usual clever practical Škoda touches we’ve come to know and love. If you spend a lot of time cruising along the motorway, there are few more relaxing ways to get around.”

The new, second-generation Kodiaq also impressed the Carwow judges and was awarded a coveted Highly Commended honour in the Adventurers’ Choice Award category. The panel recognised the new Kodiaq’s remarkably broad skillset, all-wheel drive ability and comfort. The reviewing team also praised the performance and efficiency of the new Plug-in Hybrid model, commenting: “Family SUVs didn't get any better than the last Kodiaq - and this new model looks like it'll be even better. The plug-in hybrid model will be the best bet for company car drivers and could well prove to be a real money-saver if you regularly charge it up. It’ll do more than 60 miles on battery power alone, and can even fast-charge, making it a really useful proposition for those who want a taste of the EV life but can’t or don’t want to go full electric.”

Despite having only arrived in the UK this summer, Škoda’s new Superb and Kodiaq models have already won some of the biggest accolades in the industry. Both models have taken category wins in the prestigious Carbuyer Awards and Auto Express New Car Awards, continuing the winning streaks of their predecessors.
