Bentley SUV Crafted From Sand in New Teaser Video
Is the new Bentley SUV on the verge of being officially unveiled? This new teaser from the brand seems to be hinting at that possibility.
First seen as the EXP 9 F concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor show, the upcoming Bentley SUV will likely be a hit for the brand, offering an ultra-luxurious, high-riding vehicle in the same high-class mould as the brand’s Flying Spur. Expect it to be based on the same platform as the upcoming Audi Q7.
Likely hitting the road as a 2016 model, the Bentley SUV will debut with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine. There are also rumors of a plug-in hybrid drivetrain to be introduced later, while the a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 will also be offered. Also expect the ultra-luxury truck to feature two rows of seating, with a third-row being an optional extra.

In terms of design, this teaser video shows us a few glimpses of the overall shape of the upcoming car, while the interior seems to feature a ton of high-class leather that you can practically smell through your screen.
The automaker also launched a new teaser site with cryptic images of the car, a gallery of which can be seen below.
