Bentley shows new SUV is about more than just blasting through dirt

Bentley’s given the world a fresh glance of what its SUV will look like, courtesy of a new teaser video.

While you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s like any other teaser video and fails to give you any real clue of what the new SUV will actually look like, the Bentley release actually gives us the clearest look we’ve had so far at the vehicle, slated for release in 2016.

We now know, for instance, that the luxury car maker’s quest for speed has seen it include a BMW X6 style roof and an ultra-low ride height. We also know that the headlights are round and the rectangular taillights have a decidedly minimalist feel to them.

According to Bentley, the SUV will go into production in 2016 with a range of engines — including a plug-in hybrid option for 2017.

One things for certain though, it’ll be better looking than the station wagon it tried to introduce a couple of years back.
