However, according to the survey of UK motorists, the names of some of the biggest car companies such as Porsche, BMW, Skoda and Hyundai are regularly butchered. Select Car Leasing has revealed that, based on a survey of 1,000 UK respondents, 95% of people do not know how to pronounce BMW correctly. Meanwhile, the easiest motoring company for Brits to say is Renault, with 44% of Brits pronouncing it as 'Reh-noh'. For example, Skoda is actually pronounced 'Schkoda', as 89% of people were not able to pronounce it properly. Meanwhile, what is arguably the most difficult pronunciation of all is Volkswagen, with only nine per cent of Brits pronouncing it correctly.
