Škoda Superb Honoured With Another Award This Year

Sept. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- For the second year running, Škoda has scooped the accolade of ‘Private Hire Car of the Year’ in Professional Driver magazine’s annual awards, with its class-leading Superb.

The judges cited the Superb’s impressive leg room, outstanding luggage space and luxurious finish as the deciding factors.

Mark Bursa, Editor of Professional Driver magazine, said: “The impact of the second-generation Škoda Superb on the private hire market cannot be underestimated. It’s a genuine game-changer. In fact, rear legroom is so impressive that most judges gave it 10 out of 10 for this feature alone.

“Last year, the Superb walked away with the class – and this year the wagon repeated the trick. Most judges felt the wagon version has made an excellent car even better.”

The award win further reinforces Škoda’s position as a brand leader, as the Superb Wagon fought off stiff competition in the category, against eight other manufacturers.  

A total of 33 cars were entered for the Professional Driver magazine Car of the Year Awards, which were adjudicated by more than 30 judges from the chauffeuring and private hire sector and the motoring media.

The Superb Wagon is available from $40,990.
