Bentley EXP 9 F concept gets production green light and set for 2015 launch

Having introduced the EXP 9 F SUV concept model back in Geneva as a study to gather feedback on whether it should build a SUV, Bentley reckoned that they have gathered enough positive voices. Having borrowed styling cues from the Continental and the Mulsanne, the carmaker is now planning to send the model into production and all set for a 2015 launch for the said model.

One of the reasons for this is because, according to the company's CEO Wolfgang Durheimer in an interview with Inside Line, Bentley's customers aren't most people and apparently they really liked the concept.

Coming out sometime in 2015, the Bentley SUV won't be a fully-fledged off-roader but Durheimer said that it will be a vehicle capable of sustaining "the stress of off-road driving." He also added that the SUV will also be offered with a third-row of seating.
