The Bentley EXP 9 concept was unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show and garnered much criticism for its design. The automaker has now presented the first preview of the new car, which will probably not be introduced until 2016, and it looks like it has decided to meet the critics and change the look of the car. It also claims that it will be the most luxurious and powerful SUV on the market, creating its own segment.
Bentley already registers 2,000 pre-orders, although the final appearance of the car is not yet known. The total volume of expected annual sales is to be 3,000 cars.
In the photo, it can be seen that the front part contains the typical design elements of Bentley cars, i.e. a large radiator grille and two pairs of circular lights. The plan is also to produce cars with a hybrid drive , which could go on sale in 2018. This should help the brand to total sales of 15,000 cars per year. It is likely that the new SUV will not be produced in Bratislava, but in the domestic plant in Crewe.
