Škoda voted Best Manufacturer
Škoda voted Best Manufacturer in Driver Power survey for third year running
Škoda has been voted Best Manufacturer in the Auto Express Driver Power survey for the third year running.
Three of our cars also finished in the top four of the Best Car category, including the Superb at number one. The Yeti was second and the Octavia fourth.
The survey, which is completed by more than 23,000 drivers every year, is widely regarded as the definitive poll on car reliability and customer satisfaction.
Graham Hope, Acting Editor of Auto Express, said: “It’s been another fantastic year for Škoda in our Driver Power survey. Its cars are setting the pace for rivals to follow, and as the brand’s performance over the years has shown, others are struggling to keep up.”
Škoda UK Director Robert Hazelwood said: “Being voted Best Manufacturer for the third consecutive year is a fantastic achievement for Škoda and its retailers.
“Winning any award is always a great boost, but those linked to customer satisfaction are particularly well received. Along with value for money and excellence in engineering, great customer service is one of the key strategies in our continuing mission to take the Škoda brand forward.”
