Bentley has been teasing us with concepts of a Bentley SUV for a few years now (See the Bentley EXP 9 F Concept HERE). While many shudder at the thought of a Bentley being anything more than a luxury car company I am interested to see what they do with the segment, from the looks of it, it's going to be for that estate owner who wants something more than a Land Rover. The video below shows lot shows us lots of interesting design features, many we saw on the EXP 9 F concept, I especially like the flying B fender vents.

Check out the video and official press release below:
