Skoda Family Cars

Why choose a Skoda family car?

There are many reasons why families choose Skoda, but here are the top three: 

1. Award-winning

It’s hard to ignore Skoda’s impressive trophy cabinet, with their family car offering picking up many awards over the years. 

Take the Skoda Octavia for example. The estate car was named What Car’s Best Practicality Family Car 2023, while the hybrid variant scooped Best Hybrid Estate 2022. Plus, Auto Express also named the Octavia the number one car for dog owners - it has a built-in doggy seat belt after all! 

The accolades don’t stop there though. In the What Car? Car of the Year Awards 2023, the Skoda Karoq emerged as the Best Value Family SUV, with judges praising its ample space, easy handling and affordability. Not to be left out, the Skoda Kodiaq - another SUV in Skoda’s impressive range - picked up the Best Large SUV title at the Auto Express Awards. 

Even if you don’t take our word for it; Skoda’s raft of awards speaks volumes about how capable its family cars are. 

1. Affordable

If you’re feeling the pinch, a Skoda family car is a good option if you’re looking to save money on motoring. Many entry-level Skoda models are available for £400 per month or less, with some models available for around £200-£300 per month. 

Skoda’s prices may be lower than other car brands but that doesn’t mean you’re getting a poorer quality car – in fact, it’s Skoda’s value for money that appeals to families, delivering spacious, comfortable and practical family cars. 

Family cars from Skoda are built to last, so why not consider a used Skoda family car? Often priced lower than new cars, buying a used Skoda could help you make the most of your budget and potentially allow you to get more for your money. You needn’t worry about your car breaking down on the school run though; used Skoda family cars come highly recommended, winning no less than 10 awards at the 2023 Auto Express Used Car Awards. 

A Skoda family car can help reduce your monthly outgoings on fuel, too. Skoda first added an electric family car to their lineup in 2021 with the all-electric Skoda Enyaq SUV, which will get you up to 249 miles on a single charge. 

Based on an Enyaq with a 58kW battery, it will cost you around £18.50 to fully charge the car at home - much less than a tank of petrol or diesel would cost.

1. Practical

A family car that looks the part but offers little else won’t cut it. Thankfully, each Skoda family car is practical to make every journey comfortable and enjoyable. 

As a parent, you need to be prepared for every eventuality. Skoda family cars are packed with handy features designed to make your life easier.

Take the Skoda Scala for example. There’s an umbrella tucked away on the side of the driver’s door and an ice scraper hidden in the fuel door. Aeroplane-inspired fold-down tables to the rear of the driver and front passenger seats are perfect for passengers in the back to enjoy a meal on the move. A handy car bin will store rubbish to keep your car looking tidy, no matter how messy your passengers are!

There are plenty more useful features across other models too. Keyless entry tech in the Skoda Octavia will automatically open and lock your car when you’re near with the key, without having to root around in your bag or pockets. Hands full? Open the boot with a wag of your foot with the touchless tailgate tech available on select models. 

With a range of estate and SUV family cars, it’s no surprise that Skoda family cars come with ample boot space. However, what sets the brand apart is the handy boot storage it offers across many of its models, ranging from nets to tuck away shopping bags and footballs to clips to secure bags in place while you drive. No more finding your groceries rolling around your boot!
