Bentley has shared a teaser for a fifth model in its line-up ahead of its debut on May 10. The teaser gives little away as to what the car could be showing what looks to be the door panel of the upcoming model. The teaser reveals a LED light strip atop the door card with illuminated diamond-like patterning on what looks to be the fabric insert on the door and what looks to be an illuminated bottle holder at the base of the door. While details remain scarce, reports have suggested that the new model teased could be a long-wheelbase derivative of the Bentayga.

Bentley has been testing a new variant to the Bentayga on international roads recently with the test car appearing to be longer than the Bentayga already on sale. However, there is no confirmation if this teaser previews the long-wheelbase derivative of Bentley’s SUV.

In a statement accompanying the teaser Bentley said, “With an extra dimension of onboard wellness, the new model will sit in sumptuous comfort at the pinnacle of its range and deliver a breadth of capabilities beyond anything previously offered.”

The wording “an extra dimension of onboard wellness” could hint at the new model is a long-wheelbase derivative. Additionally, the word “pinnacle of its range” could hint at the upcoming model is based on one of its existing cars.

The company has also said that it has “gone to new lengths to combine luxury, technology and performance” suggesting that this new model will be both luxurious and comfortable without impeding on the car’s performance.
