The Bentley EXP 9 F is a concept car produced by Bentley and first shown to the public at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show,[1] and is the concept SUV for the Bentayga.

A luxury SUV capable of seating four adults, the concept was designed by Dirk van Braeckel and developed by Bentley Crewe's based design department. The concept is powered by a re-engineered version of the existing 6.0-litre petrol W12 engine, but in production could also be available with a V8 diesel engine or a V6-based plug-in hybrid powertrain.[2][3] It is based on the Volkswagen Group PL71 platform, the same platform used in the other Volkswagen Group large SUVs including the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg.[4]

In July 2013, Bentley announced the production of an SUV Model for 2016,[5] based on the next-generation Volkswagen Group large SUV platform. Called Bentayga, Bentley's first production SUV will become the company's fourth model alongside the Continental GT, Flying Spur, and the Mulsanne.
