Four years - and 1,500 created jobs - on from the initial concept stage, the very first production Bentley Bentayga today left the assembly line at the iconic headquarters in Crewe.
With investment totalling £840 million, the eagerly awaited SUV Bentley will now be going in to full production, with customer deliveries beginning in January.
Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors, Wolfgang Dürheimer, said: “Bentley Bentayga will be the benchmark against which all other SUVs are measured, defining a new segment – the luxury SUV.
“This car is a celebration of UK manufacturing at its very best, not only reinforcing our commitment to industry in this country, job creation and significant investment, but to our home in Crewe. This is an important moment in our history, where we reflect and celebrate, but also look ahead to delivering this extraordinary car to our customers.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues from all parts of the business for their dedication and professionalism in delivering the Bentley Bentayga. It would not have been possible to deliver this car without the support and belief from the UK Government, our parent company and other business partners. We can all take pride in this achievement.”
