ŠKODA wins three titles at the Carbuyer Best Car Awards 2023

Date Posted: 24 February 2023

ŠKODA has once again proved its strength in depth by driving off with no fewer than three major category titles in the Carbuyer Best Car Awards 2023. The judging panel found the FABIA, OCTAVIA Estate and KODIAQ to be unbeatable in their respective sectors, honouring all three with top positions.

Leading the trophy haul was the new ŠKODA FABIA, which was named Best Small Car 2023 by a panel of road testers and automotive experts. The new FABIA, which was launched last year impressed the panel with its refinement, large cabin and all-round ability.

The latest FABIA is not only Carbuyer's best small car for 2023, it's also vying for the title of the best value new car currently on sale. Family car space for supermini money, the Fabia is now more compelling than ever.

The OCTAVIA recorded back-to-back wins to be named Best Estate Car - adding to its remarkable collection of industry silverware in the process. The judges praised the Czech-built load lugger for its practicality, design and value.

Some cars just can't be beaten; the OCTAVIA Estate is a model that time and time again tops our rankings as not only our favourite estate car, but one of the best new cars money can buy.

Completing ŠKODA’s Carbuyer trophy haul was the new KODIAQ, which the judging panel found to be unbeatable in the fiercely competitive Large Family Car category. Comprehensively updated last year with a fresh look and improved equipment levels, the seven-seater Czech SUV cruised to overall victory in the category.

The KODIAQ proves there's plenty of life left in practical petrol SUVs. Putting its users front and centre, the recently updated KODIAQ is spacious, versatile, and full of clever, family-friendly features.

Finance Disclosure

Startin Group Ltd and Thomas Startin Junr Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd's permissions as a Principal Firm allows Startin Group Ltd, Thomas Startin Junr Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required
