Included as part of the disguise are four fake circular headlights, similar in shape to those of the current Bentayga.<\/p>\n<p>A few months ago, Bentley unveiled the wild EXP15 concept, complete with vertical headlights. However, the headlight clusters we can see don&rsquo;t look like the concept&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n<p>As with the headlights, it is difficult to discern the shape of the grille, as it too has been hidden from view. What we can see is that this new model is smaller than the Bentayga and has a lower roofline. This isn&rsquo;t to say it&rsquo;s small, however. It&rsquo;ll likely be about the same size as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/11\/1139-hp-cayenne-electric-is-porsches-most-powerful-road-car-ever\/\">the new Porsche Cayenne<\/a> Electric.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our spy photographer was able to catch a glimpse of the SUV&rsquo;s interior, although it&rsquo;s difficult to pinpoint any highlights.
