I want to say someone pronounced a name like they wanted to advertise for it. Can I use "enunciate"?

Is this okay?

"Actually, I really like their brand-new car. BMW E-Elegance," he enunciated the last word. "It sounds cool."

"Actually, I really like their brand no hyphen here new car, the BMW E-Elegance." He enunciated the last word. "It sounds cool."

Note my corrections above. I'm not really sure what you mean by pronouncing something as if you want to advertise it. Also, "enunciated" simply means to pronounce something particularly clearly. You might want something like "He drew out the last word", meaning that he elongated it to make sure it stood out from the rest of the sentence. That still doesn't equate to trying to advertise it.

"He drew out the last word"
Is it also correct to say "he drew out the last sentence" if there is a sentence instead of a word?
