On the lookout for your next car? Head to www.carwow.co.uk to find the right car from the right dealer, at the right price.
.............................................................
It’s fair to say that naming a car is a lot harder than you may think! Think of all the things you’ll need to get right, from picking something that sounds cool, through to making sure it works in multiple different languages.
As a result, it means that sometimes, you’ll end up with car names that have rather unusual meanings. Further to that, there’s definitely been a few occasions where manufacturers clearly haven’t done enough research on the names they’ve chosen!
Wondering which are the worst offenders? You’ll need to sit back and join Mat for our latest video to find out!

Fun fact, Tiguan was the result of a naming contest run by a magazine. Tiguan (along with other names like Nanuk, Rockton, Samun, and a few others I can't recall off hand) were listed in the magazine poll. Tiguan got the most votes and here we are. Now, VW still made the names in question so it wasn't totally up to people to make a name and I still don't know how or why VW came up with a portmanteau of tiger and iguana to get Tiguan or why they felt that those two animals embodied the spirit of a small eco crossover, but that's what happened I guess.

Hi Mat from Greece. You MISSED a stellar example of a bad name that actually made the manufacturer to CHANGE the car's name when marketed in Greece. The car is SEAT MALAGA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEAT_M%C3%A1laga The Málaga was marketed in Greece as the SEAT Gredos, after the Spanish mountain range Sierra de Gredos, because the word Málaga was considered too similar to malakas, a ubiquitous Greek swear word.

Hi Matt. Another secret name that I've seen is for Kia Ceed. "CE" are the initials for European products (Ceed was the car which with Kia entered the European market) and "ED" means E-uropean D-esign because the car was built in the new facilities of the company in Romania. But CEED also sounds like "SEED" which (among others definitions) means "any of a number of stronger competitors in a sports tournament who have been assigned a specified position in an ordered list with the aim of ensuring that they do not play each other in the early rounds". I think Kia put some effort on that. Cheers!!!

The Tiguan was named by a naming contest, so they got what they deserved. As far as the wind names go, the Golf is named for the Gulf Stream, the Jetta for the Jet Stream. The Passat is supposedly named for a trade wind, Vento literally means “wind,” and as was mentioned, the Bora and Scirocco are named for other types of winds. Then there are cars named for figures of mythology with Eos and Atlas (and there is some argument that Arteon is perhaps named for Artemis, although the official word on that name is they modified the Latin word “artem,” which means “art.” Volkswagen claims that they’ve never had a naming scheme... Somehow, I don’t believe them.

Coincidentally, you mentioned both the Ford Kuga and the word 'Countach' meaning Plague, Kuga in Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian languages means Plague as well. In Australia, it basically meant, well, nothing, hence they changed it to Escape 🤣🤣

Give you some Spanish translations: - Audi q3. Q3 in Spanish is pronounced cu tres. Cutres means Tacky. They keep the name. -the pajero. In Spanish from Spain means wanker. They actually changed the name for Montero (mountain’s guard). If you ever see a group of teenagers taking pics with a Pajero, you know why now.. We also hear there was a Nissan moco (moco means snot in Spanish) and the colour of the pics is always green XD PS: espada is the plain word for sword. The sword used in bullfights is called estoque. PS2: most of seat are cities/towns in Spain but for Seat Mii.

I haven't read all the comments, so maybe someone has mentioned the Honda Jazz. In some markets, Honda also call it the Fit. I can't guarantee it's true, but the story goes that in Europe Honda was planning on call the car the "Fitta". Then Honda found out what Fitta means in Swedish. Look it up.

I like the brand and their car names sound good to me like Santa Fe. But no one seems to agree on how to say the brand in English! In my native Brazil it was hi-yun-die which sounds great there but quite aggressive now that I'm thinking about it in English 😂. But the brand in the original South Korean does not sound very cool to me.
