The Fleet News Awards, now in its 30th year – seen as the 'Oscars' of the fleet awards' calendar – recognises class-leading businesses, cars and individuals within the sector.

ŠKODA continued its winning ways on the 2018 awards night, after the ŠKODA Superb was named 'Best Upper Medium Car' by the industry experts for the third year running. In one of the most competitive categories, the Superb stood out for its excellent value-for-money, technology, comfort and desirability.

The all-new ŠKODA Karoq won its first UK award, scooping the highly-desired accolade 'Best Mid-size SUV'. From small businesses to corporate fleets, the Karoq offers a host of technology and driver assistance systems at their fingertips. The latest addition to the model line-up sets the standard for driver connectivity with features that include Amundsen satellite navigation with an eight-inch touchscreen display with European mapping, voice control and integrated Wi-Fi.

Henry Williams, Head of Fleet for ŠKODA UK, commented 'The Superb is a beautifully designed vehicle that offers luxury driving for fleets at excellent value that can't be beaten and we are delighted that it has picked up this award for the second year running.

'These awards showcase the strength of our current model line-up and the competitive package that we offer business customers.'
