Although the EXP 9 F's exterior styling was widely criticized by the motoring press, the Range Rover-rivaling SUV received strong marks from current Bentley owners - i.e. the people that will be plunking down well over six-figures for the most expensive SUV on the market. As such, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Durheimer says the concept's styling will be making the transition to production.
He added that current Bentley owners rated the styling of the EXP 9 F "between 7 and 10."
Despite its aspirations to topple Land Rover's Range Rover with the EXP 9 F, the Bentley SUV won't be a true off-roader. Durheimer said the SUV "will be able to sustain the stress of off-road driving", but won't be designed to handle the same rugged terrain as the Range Rover.
The production version of the Bentley EXP 9 F is expected to launch sometime in 2015.
