# Blinged Out SUVs The Bentley Exp 9 F is the Epitome of All Whell Drive Luxury By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-06-16 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-exp-9-f References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1670048/yes-this-is-a-bentley-suv-keep-playing-the-lottery) & [bentleymotors](http://www.bentleymotors.com/) If you want to take your kids to soccer practice in style or want to turn heads when picking up groceries you may want to consider saving your pennies for a Bentley EXP 9 F. Bentleys have been a status symbol for decades and their first test-drive into the world of utility vehicles is no exception to the rule. With its solid veneer dash and panoramic glass skylight panel it certainly puts other off-road vehicles to shame. It also features touchscreen 'infotainment' displays for the rear passengers. While the vehicle is certainly sophisticated and eye-popping, it may not be the most practical for people who want to use the extra space to tote around a bunch of gear or to cart their kids around. I can hear the screams of horror already as mothers everywhere see their little ones clambering onto the leather upholstery and silk wool mats while covered in mud. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Suvs:** There is a growing demand for luxury SUVs that offer both style and practicality. - **Status Symbol Vehicles:** Consumers are seeking vehicles that serve as status symbols and make a bold statement. - **Customization and Personalization:** There is a trend towards customized and personalized vehicles that reflect the owner's unique style and preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has an opportunity to capitalize on the demand for luxury SUVs and status symbol vehicles. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods companies can explore collaborations with automotive brands to create custom and personalized vehicles that cater to high-end consumers. - **Interior Design:** Interior design companies can develop innovative solutions to make luxury vehicle interiors more practical for everyday use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Themed SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentayga-speed.md) - [Sustainable Luxury Vehicle Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssean-edition.md) - [Opulent Extreme Environment SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-xl-800-cabrio-gwagen.md) - [Utilitarian Luxury SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ineos-grenadier-series-ii-expedition.md) - [Dazzling Rose-Hued SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-gclass-stronger-than-diamonds-edition.md) - [Luxe Winter Sport SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-range-rover-sport-deer-valley-edition.md) - [Monochromatic Diamond-Like Luxury SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-800-xlp-superwhite.md) - [Bronze-Accented Monochromatic SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-range-rover-sv-black-edition.md) - [Child-Centric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childcentric-compact-luxury-suv.md)
