It seems Bentley is well aware of criticism of the styling of their EXP 9F concept. Bentley has changed the front end design significantly and even in this short teaser it looks much, much better than the concept. So the design is updated but what about what is under the hood?

Chances are Bentley will use Audi's 4.0 TFSI. It may be in the exact same state of tune as it is in the Bentley Continental V8 S which means 521 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque.

We will find out more details when it makes its official debut. A timetable for the debut is not set but the SUV will enter production in 2016.
