Bentley SUV on its way

Seems like Bentley might be going back in time to recover the idea of developing a luxury SUV.

According to the Auto, Motor und Sport, Bentley chief Wolfgang Dürheimer has confirmed that the British marque is to develop a SUV in order to compete with models such as the Porsche Cayenne.

The idea goes back to 2006, when the first reports on a Bentley SUV emerged. For Dürheimer, as this type of vehicle is amongst the most popular in terms of demand in the brand’s largest markets, China, Europe, and the United States, it’s the right time to bring the plans to reality.

The Bentley SUV should be introduced in the brand’s portfolio alongside the new Mulsanne and Continental models.
