Carro [ˈka.ro] resembles the English "car", both originated from the Gaulish "karros." However, it also means "cart," which could lead to confusion in some countries. Proper pronunciation is crucial too, it could be understood as caro [ˈka.ɾo] "expensive."

Auto is simply a shortened form of automóvil "automobile.
"Coche" [ˈko.t͡ʃe], seem strange to English speakers, it is derived from the name of a Hungarian village, Kocs, but it is the same root as in "coach".
