Bentley Drops New Images and a Video of EXP 9 F SUV Design Concept

|

It may have not made the best of impressions at its world premiere during the Geneva Motor Show this past March, but Bentley still wants the world to know about its EXP 9 F study, the brand's first attempt to design an SUV.

Last weekend, the thinly disguised concept made its maiden appearance on UK soil at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed as part of what the company's calls "a systematic and comprehensive process of gauging customer and public reaction to the idea of a Bentley SUV".

Bentley's "customer gauging process" will continue at the 2012 Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach, California this August, but for now and following its UK debut, the premium carmaker has released a handful of new dynamic images and a video of the EXP 9 F, all of which you can check out for yourself by hoping over the break.

I don't understand all the hate for this design.   It is not my favorite, but it is a handsome vehicle and it looks like a Bentley.  The interior is quite beautiful.

Great design for making armored/bullerproof vehicles, but obviously the styling has suffered for it. Likely to be a favorite among the wealthy who travel with security.

It's like some kind of strange concept car from the fifties. Is that good? Bad? Do I like this? Hate this? I'm conflicted...

Not this hideous monster again?

The interior is good, but the outside is a pure waste of time ! Very too bold. It need a subtle touch instead of a elephant footprint...

It's a slight improvement on their first effort i suppose but still hidious.

Jason Hall said... »July 06, 2012

Nope - still revolting.

Ugliest in it's class. Rear side is so ridicolous as well as front vacuum-connections-like foglights

That has got to be one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen.  Why would you even build the concept after seeing a drawing? That's as far from Bently as the old Rolls Royce Corniche truck conversions of the '80s. It's ugly on the inside, too.  I gotta go throw up and pour Drain-o in my ears to erase the memory of this thing.

The big headlamps and "brows" over the lights that wraps into the wing reminds me of the Hillman Imp from my childhood. Remember them?

this car is not made for the general public. Its made for the RICH.

Robbie McDonald said... »July 06, 2012

with all that chrome it'll look perfect in a rap video

Ghastly.  My eyes! My eyes!

Big Don said... »July 07, 2012

1960 Studebaker Wagon.

Soutikghosh said... »July 07, 2012

ONE WORD FOR THIS

UGLY.

Ben said... »July 07, 2012

or the streets of harrods

Ben said... »July 07, 2012

waw, people cant express their opinion because they cant afford something? in that case i guess it applies that you can talk about this car because you cant afford it either

pcurve said... »July 07, 2012

after watching the video, I think I like this car.  It's so over the top.

scottyrob82 said... »July 08, 2012

Perfect way to describe this SUV.
