VW employees ran out of ideas and delegated the power to name new vehilces to the public at Autobild. Autoblog also conducted the poll and came out with top 5 names for the latest VW SUV.



Nanuk: Eskimo for small polar bear. 421 votes

Namib: a desert in Namibia. 119 votes

Rockton: a play on the word ‘rock’ and its strength. 245 votes

Tiguan: a combination of the words ‘tiger’ and ‘iguana’. 334 votes

Samun: a hot desert wind that blows in North Africa and some Arabian countries. 356 votes



The lucky winner gets to keep the SUV when it goes on sale next year in Europe.
