Ever since Bentley released the first renderings of its upcoming SUV, there have been an infinity of voices stating that the EXP 9F Concept is as ugly as cars get. We’re not here to talk about the shapes of Bentley’s future SUV, but we do have a solution for those who hate it.
The answer it simple: buy a Bentley Continental GTC, or a Continental GT, if you will. We’re kidding, of course, as the needs that drive people to acquire an SUV would get a terrible answer from a coupe of a cabriolet.

Nevertheless, there is some truth in our positive rant, as the Bentley Continental GTC’s abilities once you get off the road are inspiring. As we found out during our test drive, it’s enough to set the air suspension to its highest level and let the car do its job.

The 60:40 split four-wheel drive system keeps things in check even when you’re driving on sands, so you’ll do just fine. Keep your speed low to prevent stone chips and you’ll be having a great time. We sure did, as we took the Continental GTC to a mountain plateau that revealed the entire area in a spectacular fashion.
