The registration of the names Sharyaq and Prediaq caused a stir, but now the automaker is setting the record straight.
–
Mladoboleslav’s Škoda Auto had the names Sharyaq and Prediaq registered with the Industrial Property Office, which we thought were intended for the new models. As for the letter at the end of Q, a pair of SUVs were planned, most likely electric. But in the end it is all a little different.

As explained by Pavel Jína, spokesman for Škoda Auto, in a post on Twitter, the registration of the names Sharyaq and Prediaq is linked to the promotion of the next hockey event this fall, when NHL matches abroad will be played in Prague.
“Hockey is one of the fundamental pillars of Škoda’s sponsorship strategy, and therefore it will not miss this event either. A roadshow around the cities begins today and the specially modified cars will also be seen on match day in front of the O2 Arena,“adds Jína in another post.
Along with the explanation of the whole situation, we also received the first images of the special models “Sharyaq” and “Prediaq”, which refer to overseas teams. During October 7-10, 2022, the San Jose Sharks and Nashville Predators teams will meet in the O2 Arena. The team colors and symbols correspond to the modification of both cars, namely the Škoda Enyaq iV and the Škoda Kodiaq.
