Now Bentley’s Chairman as well as CEO Wolfgang Durheimer has provided the strongest hint yet that the sports cars and truck has been chosen – by discounting the concept of the infant SUV. “We understand what our extra product line will be,” he told automobile Express, “and it will bring in new clients to Bentley – younger as well as a lot more dynamic customers.
“The issue with a smaller SUV is that it ends up against lots of other premium brands, not high-end ones. Whereas with the product concept we currently have, we will be up against our high-end rivals; this is what I prefer.”
