Renault presented last week, the Kadjar. Undoubtedly a great car that we are going to see on the road, but with a name that is just as hopeless as that of the car on which it is based: the Qashqai. And these are not the only two SUV’s with weird names, there are many more.

Car names, a lot of manufacturers are already slipped. The most safe choice is a combination of a letter and a number. To Q7 or X5 can hardly go wrong. But the manufacturers to give their SUV is increasingly a tough name, but that is not always good. Like a piece of cake (Opel Mokka) or a dressing gown/useful schoonmaakding (Dacia Duster). Time for a shopping list!

Bentley Bentayga
How Bentley’s modderploeteraar looks like we do not yet know, however, that the undoubtedly corpulent SUV in the name of a rapper that has yet to break through. Bentley is, after all, a very normal first name. In addition, Bentayga is also a mountain on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria. Here more explanation of Bentley over the naming of its future SUV.

Dacia Duster
The marketingmannen of Dacia saw undoubtedly a tough off-road vehicle, which is already ploeterend through the desert in a beautiful cloud of dust behind. Unfortunately for Dacia, most people might think at Duster before a dressing gown or as a useful tool of Swiffer that you even in the most difficult corners art fabrics. There was in the ’80s even though a Dacia Duster, a Romanian ARO 10/11-terrain vehicle with a different logo.

Nissan Murano
Murano are a number of islands in the lagoon of Venice, known for its glassware. Why Nissan have large SUVS to a place known for glassware mentions is a mystery, but a Nissan Leerdam can never wait.

Nissan Qashqai
It Is quatsch, or would it really be a mixing up of Cashcow? Nissan showed guts by choose a name that even the most seasoned autojournalist still regularly incorrectly writes, but surprised friend and foe with a particularly good sales figures.

Oldsmobile Bravada
Under this ridiculous name sold Oldsmobile’s interpretation of the Chevrolet Blazer. Incidentally, was the last to get as Chevy Jimmy, what still suffer sounds than Jimny.

Opel Mokka
It is my favorite cake, but definitely not my favorite Opel. Just like the kind of coffee I see this Opel preferably dark roasted.

Porsche Cayenne
Cayenne is a place in French Guyana (adjacent to Suriname), and is especially well-known for its peppers. Exactly, the Cayennepepers. Peppery is the price of the large SUV.

Porsche Macan
This time no pepper, but the Javanese word for tiger. In the press was the mini-Cayenne for his introduction known as Cajun, which means as much CAyenne JUNior. Incidentally, there is also a whole list of famous people with Macan as a surname. Maybe his Porsche SUV, however, secretly named after a Brazilian model, a Croatian writer and illustrator, a British entomologist, or a governor of the British Virgin islands. We will never know.

Renault Captur
Capture the moment, or something like that. That is undoubtedly what Renault had in mind when they named Captur came up with. Or it makes the moment mean that you go for a compact crossover choose because this is such a nice entry and a nice high driving position?

Renault Kadjar
This is the new SUV from Renault that was also the inspiration for this list. According to the French state Kad for ‘quad’, which refers to the voorwielvierwielaandrijving, while jar comes from the French word ‘jaillir’, which means ‘to suddenly appear, shoot’. Nice idea, but the combination, Kadjar, sounds more like a spicy sambalsoort you on Chinese targets than as a tough SUV.

Skoda Yeti
The Yeti came in 2009 came on the market and received in 2013 a much-needed facelift. The term Yeti is, however, generally known as a giant/mythical monkey man from the Himalayas, which name you go not hang on a small urban SUV?

Ssang-Yong Korando
If your brand name already not good bekt, why should you even bother to do a clever type to come up? It would be a travel agency (with Kor & Do), a martial arts or a herb.

Volkswagen Touareg
The Touareg is named after a nomadic woenstijnvolk. Not quite crazy, and there will be what marketers are doing, but it is a strange name for a German SUV.
