Taking its name from the rugged peak of the Roque Benyayga in the Canary Islands, the new luxury SUV is said to "introduce Bentley's renowned modern British luxury to limitless destinations with an impressive combination of on- and off-road performance."

"Bentayga is a name that reflects what we know our SUV will do better than any other car in the world - combine the best automotive luxury with outstanding performance to take the Bentley experience to new environments," said Bentley Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer in a recent release.

No powertrain details for the new Bentley Bentayga have been revealed, but we expect the new SUV to feature a version of the Continental GT and Flying Spur's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 and/or twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12. Those engines produce around 500 hp and 600 hp, respectively, and are backed by an eight-speed automatic. A plug-in hybrid option could also make its way to market.

The Bentley Bentayga will be revealed later this year and will go on sale in 2016. Until then, watch the teaser video below.
