Six car names you’re probably saying wrong

Nissan Horny Super Long, Geely Rural Nanny, Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard. All are genuine, yet ridiculous, car names that would send any owner red in the face when asked what vehicle they drove.

But some of us are also risking looking a little foolish by failing to correctly pronounce a raft of today’s mainstream models.

Extended vehicle warranty firm Warranty Direct has listed the 20 most- commonly incorrectly enunciated cars, and provided the right way to say it, or at least as the car manufacturer intended.

We reveal the cars and how their names are pronounced. The Scirocco name has been around since the mid- 70s, but 40 years on many people still struggle to get it right. Common pronunciation: Si- rockoh Correct pronunciation: Shi- rockoh The Tucson is the newest member of the Hyundai family and also one of the most difficult models in the Korean range to say correctly. Common pronunciation: Tuckson Correct pronunciation: Too- son If one model sums up cars we frequently say wrong it's the Qashqai. The best- selling SUV in Britain. What happened to the missing “U” s, Nissan? Common pronunciation: Quashkee Correct pronunciation: Kash- kai It's fast. It's sexy. It's exotic. It's not a hurricane!

Still, the name is impossible to get right first time. Common pronunciation: Gib- lee Correct pronunciation: Jee- blee Number six in our list is a doozy.
