VIDEO: Bentley Bentayga – new steering wheel teased

Another day, another teaser for the Bentley Bentayga – a new video reveals just a little bit more of the interior of Crewe’s first SUV, to go with the terrain control knob and large instrument cluster-mounted multi-info display previously shown.

Here, we can get a slightly clearer glimpse of the Continental GT-esque interior, as well as a steering wheel with a small circular airbag boss and angular spokes that appears to have been lifted from Audi’s parts bin. Still, with the red leather, at least it does look fairly plush.

Previewed by the polarising EXP 9 F concept, the Bentley Bentayga will be underpinned by the VW Group’s new MLB Evo platform first seen on the latest second-generation Audi Q7, and is expected to be powered by a range of engines led by the Flying Spur‘s 6.0 litre biturbo W12 kicking out 616 hp and 800 Nm.

The Continental GT V8‘s 507 hp/660 Nm Audi-sourced 4.0 twin-turbo V8 are also slated to feature, as is a V6 plug-in hybrid. Reports indicate that it will be built at the group’s Bratislava plant in Slovakia, which also assembles its Q7, Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne siblings.

    RR & Bentley is for the ultra-rich; RR, in particular, is for the prominent people like king/queen, Najib, MJ, BG etc. Is it odd if you drive a RR to your friend’s house during CNY if you are a rich ‘nobody’?

    Ordinary people probably will just settle with brand-new Q7 or GLE.
