The Rolls-Royce SUV was shown today in conceptual stage for the countdown to Geneva where the discussion will begin.
Its big, larger than a Range Rover and far more grander.

Its not based on the X7 but new aluminium architecture. The only sharing with the X7 is the specific sections of Carbon Fibre in the chassis and structure.
The model wont use the next generation CFRP structure and passenger cell previewed on the BMW vision Future Luxury Concept that will be featured in the next generation RR Phantom.

Seeing the car with an X5 and a MINI Countryman F60 really puts the size in perspective. The best thing compared to the forthcoming Bentley SUV is that the RR has its own identity from the Ghost and the Phantom and of course the BMW X5 and X7.

Its the third of super luxury models for the upper echelons of the BMW and Rolls-Royce brands. The first being the BMW X7 , second being the super BMWi9 Sports Car. The fourth model the exclusive luxury BMW 9er Sedan is expected to be green lighted in May for a 2018 introduction.

A further Concept for an additional model will be shown at Shanghai in April.

Amateur sketch showing possible and similar ideas to the new SUV.
