Rolls Royce SUV confirmed

A Rolls-Royce SUV is under active consideration.

Rolls-Royce boss Torsten Muller-Ötvös confirmed that customer enquiries, booming and consistent sales in the luxury SUV segment and potential rivals from Range Rover, Bentley and Lamborghini have kick-started investigations into a Rolls-Royce SUV - but stressed that no decisions had been made as to whether the project would go ahead.

"For me, it is less of a question of whether we should do it - the segment is interesting, growing and stable even in times of economic crisis - as opposed to one of whether it fits with the image and brand of Rolls-Royce," said Muller-Ötvös.

"What I can say is that we are currently investigating whether Rolls-Royce can carry such a vehicle - but that absolutely nothing is decided."

Muller-Ötvös declined to put a timescale on when such a project could reach fruition. A Rolls-Royce SUV is under active consideration, Autocar has learned.
