The Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI has won the overall title in The Caravan Club Towcar of the Year Awards 2009.

The car, which also won the £20,000-£25,000 class, beat 37 rivals to the title, including defending champion the Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.5 T Estate.

The Superb’s classic design, load-carrying capability, practicality and outstanding value for money were all praised by the judges, who said: “The Superb is what you’d call a thoroughly nice car. There is acres of room for everyone, comfortable seats and the driver is rewarded by a powerful but quiet engine and one of the slickest six-speed gearboxes around. Our guess is that it will become one of the all-time caravanning favourites.”
