Nice share! Can't comment unless some photos of the body surface. But I have to admire the honesty of VW Group that they registered the vehicle on its actual make and model:D
Back in 2012, Bentley revealed a concept SUV as pictured below. There was a lot of dislike for it and later Bentley commented that they have gone back to drawing boards and have a altogether new design which is more in line with Bentley signature design. No one knows what the new shape is. The Bentley SUV likely will share the same platform as the Cayenne and the Audi Q7.
The vehicle which was shown in Geneva in 2012..
The rims on the Bentley:o! And the headlights looks stupid on the Q7- For a SUV, I would love big and mean lights, not skinny ones.
Its fake.. The Q7 is just a body shell. Even the lights are not for real Bentley SUV. The chassis and engine is for new SUV.. Body is not. As Bentley SUV will share same platform as of Q7.. they are disguising everyone on the roads.. Actual body.. no one have seen yet.
The British manufacturer expects to produce around 3,500 units at its plant in Crewe starting from 2016, the starting price will be around around $235000.
