First there was the rumour, then the official confirmation, followed by the spyshots and a video teaser. Yes, we're talking about Bentley's already-controversial Bentayga SUV, which just received another teaser clip.
Claiming "we don't see performance, we see potential", Bentley presents their first-ever SUV in Sweden, where test mules have been undergoing winter testing. The video's description says "only when you drive the Bentayga and feel the smooth, sophisticated balance with which such raw yet efficient power is distributed, over any imaginable terrain, does it become clear". If this sweet talk is true, the new Bentayga should behave like a pro, dynamically speaking.

However, we have no info on what engine will work under the hood, and a hybrid powertrain is still on the table, at least until Bentley makes an official statement on the matter.

Last time the Bentayga had something to tell us, we couldn't help but notice how similar the SUV was to the Audi Q7 in terms of shapes, mainly due to the MLB platform underpinning the two SUVs.

We expect top-shelf materials on the inside, and as we could see in the first video teaser published by Bentley, the car will feature a touch-sensitive AWD mode controller. We could only see the Snow/Grass button, along with a built-in engine Start/Stop button.

Also, a digital speedometer marked at the 300 km/h (186 mph) value dominated the instrument cluster, but that was about it.

This time around, we are greeted with a point of view that reveals the car's steering wheel and instrument panel. If our eyes are not mistaken, that's burgundy leather covering the dashboard. We also couldn't help but notice and admire the elegant design of the three-spoke steering wheel.
