How models from well-known manufacturers get their names. Some brands use combinations of characters for their models, others use made-up words or mythological names.

Names are gradually sorted out through market research and consumers decide which name will best suit the vehicle. This process can take up to three months and is usually not chosen at random. Type series are often provided with a series of letters and numbers, each with a letter and the letter and number of the car. For example, a GLA is an SUV version of the A-Class. ID stands for an electric car.
