ŠKODA ENYAQ iV and ŠKODA OCTAVIA are the 'Best Cars 2021' readers’ choice awards winners
› Renowned award granted by the German "auto motor und sport” car magazine
› The purely-electric #enyaqiv wins the "Compact SUV/Off-Road Vehicle" import category
› The fourth #octavia generation triumphs as the best import vehicle within the "compact class"
Mladá Boleslav, February 11, 2021 - The new fully battery-electric ŠKODA ENYAQ iV´s first success and the already ninth triumph for the ŠKODA #octavia: The Czech carmaker celebrated two victories in the well-known readers' choice “Best Cars 2021” awards organized by the German “auto motor und sport” car magazine. As part of the 45th readers´ poll edition, more than 101,000 participants elected these two ŠKODA models to become the importcategory winners within their vehicle class. The #enyaqiv won the “Compact SUV/Off-Road Vehicle” category right on the first attempt. The #octavia triumphed for the ninth time already,
this year as the most popular import vehicle in the “compact class”. There was a total of 378 models to select from in eleven categories.
Johannes Neft, ŠKODA #auto Board of Directors Member for Technical Development emphasizes: “We are particularly pleased to bring home this year's double victory in the “Best Cars” readers' poll: As a real ŠKODA, the #enyaqiv is also a versatile and reliable companion: With three battery sizes, four power levels and a rear or all-wheel drive, it is optimally equipped to suit all requirements. The #octavia has been proving these ŠKODA-typical qualities in everyday life for 25 years. The fourth generation of our iconic brand product has made another big step forward in terms of drive diversity, networking and driving assistance systems. The response made by the “auto motor und sport” readership represents a great confirmation of our work ”
As far as the new ŠKODA #enyaqiv is concerned, this was an impressive debut in the renowned “Best Cars” readers’ choice awards organized by the German “auto motor und sport” car magazine. Within the import classification of the “compact SUV/off-road vehicle” category that hosted the highest number of participants, this purely battery-electric SUV dominated with 12.9 percent among the votes
against a total of 52 competitors, thus securing its first international award. The #enyaqiv is the first ŠKODA series model to be based on the Volkswagen Group's modular electrification kit (MEB). It comes with either a rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, has a range of more than 520 kilometres in the WLTP cycle, which is suitable for everyday use, and offers generous space, typical of the brand. One of the new ŠKODA ENYAQ iV´s highlights is the new interior concept: Design selections are replacing the classic equipment lines and are based on tastefully furnished living spaces
Participating in the “Best Cars” award category, the fourth ŠKODA #octavia generation adds up to its predecessors´ winning streak. Gaining 16.2 percent of all votes, the readers made the ŠKODA bestseller become the most popular import vehicle in the “compact class” category for the eighth time in the history of this award and one time - the #octavia celebrated a triumph in the “middle class”. The fourth #octavia generation is more spacious, safer, more networked and more emotional than ever before. Additionally, it comes with more drive variants than any other ŠKODA model before: apart from efficient gasoline and diesel engines, the #octavia is also available as a CNG vehicle, with mild hybrid technology or a plug-in hybrid drive.
