British automaker Bentley has officially confirmed that it will proceed with the development of its highly-anticipated SUV, the company’s first effort in this vehicle class.
“The SUV will be a thoroughbred Bentley true to the brand hallmarks of luxury, performance, quality and craftsmanship,” Bentley said in a statement, adding that the styling will set it apart from any other SUV on the market.
The new automobile will be made in Crewe and will go on sale in 2016. The production of the yet unnamed SUV will create over 1,000 jobs in the United Kingdom, while Bentley will invest more than £800 million over the next three years.
“The Volkswagen Group believes in the UK as a competitive location for industrial production. Bentley fans all around the world are looking forward to the brand’s first SUV. Together we will make this new Bentley another true Bentley – powerful, exclusive and successful,” said Volkswagen Group chairman Dr. Martin Winterkorn.
Bentley's new SUV will be based on the EXP 9 concept that was introduced at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. In case you need to refresh your memory, you can have a look at the concept SUV in our photo gallery section below.
