The name of the new ŠKODA Enyaq is derived from the Irish name ‘Enya’, meaning ‘source of life’. Enya itself comes from the Irish Gaelic word ‘Eithne’, meaning ‘essence’, ‘spirit’ or ‘principle’. These different meanings allow different perspectives on the name of ŠKODA’s new SUV. The ‘source of life’ symbolises the start of a new era as the car manufacturer enters into electromobility.
What do you think of the Skoda Enyaq name?

They are trying hard with their Q monikers aren't they.... A bit like when Citroen had Xs in all their names and ended up making up words like Xsara...
I do like the name, but they could probably have found something 'easier'....

I wasn’t a fan when I first heard about the existence of Enyaq’s in April this year (where I live, ‘yaq’ is associated with the noise someone makes when they’re ill !!)
But I’m used to it now.

I think they missed a trick by not licensing a bit of 'Orinoco Flow' as the startup sound...

I’m absolutely glad that they did not! I wouldn’t want that ‘earworm’ stuck in my head every time I got in the car !

It was indeed an odd name initially but I think its acceptable now i've got used to it.
I personally couldn't care less what a car name means, just needs to flow off the tongue well.
I too would have thought manufacturers of electric cars would use names associated with electricity like the Volt / Tesla / Ampera etc but I guess they had to run out eventually if you pardon the pun!.

Enyaq 80 Suite, Race Blue, Panoramic Sunroof, 20" Vega Alloys and a silly overpriced rubber mat for the boot.
All of Skoda's pure EVs will start with 'E'. And all their SUV type models end in 'Q'.

I just call mine "the car" as in Mr Darkside says to Mrs Darkside "I'm just going to put the car on charge"
