2016 Bentley Bentayga prototype out and about

Bentley has released a carefully-edited video of their upcoming SUV, the Bentayga, apparently showing its capabilities off-road.

The clip shows the Bentayga’s all-wheel-drive system tackling some rough terrain, showing the wheels distributing power as needed. A skid plate underneath is visible as well. The vehicle still has black cladding on it, not revealing the car completely but enough to make out its general shape. It is unknown if Big Ben comes with low-range gearing.

The luxury SUV is set to go on sale sometime in 2016, and with a reported 4000 customers already lined up, the Bentayga looks set to be a hit among a certain type of customer. Already seen doing hot-weather testing on the streets of the Dubai, it has been spotted attempting to climb dunes around the UAE as well. No doubt it will be quick, as the W12-powered Bentayga has also been spotted doing laps in the Nürburgring.
