New Bentley SUV teased on video

With the new Bentley SUV taking a more ‘Continental’ approach to design, Bentley has released a teaser video of their Range Rover competitor to tease its design.

Now the Bentley SUV has changed design direction after the poor reception the ‘Lorry with a Mulsanne Face’ EXP 9 F got, and is now going to be more fluid and less boxy – probably like a Continental GT on stilts – Bentley has started to tease its new off-roader.

Back in March we got the first look at the front end of the new Bentley SUV with a teaser shot of the SUV ploughing through something suitably off-road, which showed us the face of the new SUV, but not a lot more.

Now Bentley has decided to tease the new SUV on video, and although there are plenty of dark shapes and interesting lines, we don’t get to see a great deal more.

Bentley do say their new SUV will be the most powerful and luxurious SUV, setting new standards in craftsmanship and design and a design that is both contemporary and distinctive and with exquisite and meticulous detailing.

It’s a bold claim – especially in light of the boxy-looking EXP 9F – but they should at least be on solid ground with the performance, which is expected to come courtesy of both a 4,0 litre turbo V8 and the 6.0 litre W12 when it launches in 2016, with a hybrid option (revealed recently on the Mulsanne Hybrid) arriving in 2017.

Between now and the Bentley SUV’s debut – at some point in 2015 – expect much more in the tease department.
