Bentley To Build 'World's Most Luxurious SUV'

Bentley is to launch the world's most luxurious sports utility vehicle (SUV) in Crewe, creating an estimated 1,000 new jobs.

The company said the new model will include an investment of £800m in headquarters and development infrastructure.

The new model will be the fourth model line for the firm and the vehicle will be launched globally in 2016.

Bentley has not yet released an image of what the car will look like. China has become a key market for sales of the luxury marque.

The company, which is owned by the Volkswagen group, said it will be a "thoroughbred Bentley true to the brand hallmarks of luxury, performance, quality and craftsmanship".

It said: "The styling will set it apart from any other SUV on the road and will be true to the Bentley design DNA.

"It will be the most luxurious and most powerful SUV in the market."

Bentley was founded after the First World War and scored early success in motorsport, particularly at Le Mans.

It was later bought by Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen purchased the firm in 1998.

A price range has not been revealed for the new model however early estimates put the car's value at around £150,000.

Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking at the company's Crewe headquarters, said: "This £800m investment and 1,000 new jobs from Bentley is fantastic news for both Crew and for the UK as a whole.

"It is another important milestone in strengthening our economy."

The decision to make the car in Britain further reinforces the country's position as a key vehicle manufacturing location in the competitive global market.

Britain's automotive sector has continued to show strong performance figures amid a languishing status for other areas of the economy.

Mr Cameron added: "One sector that we know is sprinting ahead in the global race is our booming automotive industry.

"One vehicle rolls off the production line somewhere in the UK every 20 seconds and we have just launched the Government's automotive industrial strategy to help continue this success for years to come."
