Skoda Superb Wagon 125TDI Awarded 'Australia's Best Large Car Under $60,000'

BOTANY, AUSTRALIA – December 2, 2010: Skoda’s Superb Wagon has taken out another award this time as ‘Australia’s Best Large car under $60,000’ at the Australia’s Best Car Awards 2010 last night.

The Škoda Superb Wagon 125TDI delivers a winning formula with its spacious interior combined with luxury, technology and innovative design features.

Like all Škodas, the Superb Wagon offers a premium driving experience with outstanding levels of comfort and convenience at a remarkable price.

Matthew Wiesner, Head of Škoda Australia, was excited to accept the award for one of Australia’s most challenging segments of the market.

“Škoda has broken the stranglehold on the large car segment with its refreshing approach to delivering customers a winning combination of space, technology, performance, safety and fuel efficiency in a stylish package.

“Since we launched the Superb, is has grown in popularity and given our customers a new found appreciation of what they can expect from a large car in this segment.

“This award will give Škoda even greater awareness and will no doubt put a new model on people’s shopping list in what is one of Australia’s most iconic segments,” said Mr Wiesner.

Mark Borlace, Chief Judge, commented: “Probably a surprise winner to a lot of people. In this traditional class dominated by Australian-made cars, the combination of European engine technology in a well packaged vehicle with a wagon option has upset this market and is a well deserved winner.”

‘Australia’s Best Car Awards’ are in their eleventh year as a co-operation between the seven State and Territory based car clubs of Australia. This is the nation’s most comprehensive and independent consumer focused vehicle testing and award program.
