“We don’t see lines. We see light.”

That’s the line with which Bentley concludes its latest SUV teaser video. Although a bit melodramatic, I absolutely love the sentiment.

Looking to the details of the car teased in the video, we see side vents with the iconic Bentley “B” cleverly incorporated into the design, a swoop-y SUV roof line, and – of course – the signature Bentley quad headlights up front.

The video itself doesn’t give much insight under the skin of the forthcoming Bentley SUV. Thankfully, a corresponding press release gives a few details.

Most notably, the SUV will be offered at launch in 2016 (presumably as a 2017 model year) with a slew of powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid setup, just as we suspected. Why is that notable? Not only will the truck be the first of its kind for the British brand, it will also be the first plug-in hybrid in the super premium luxury range.

What else could power the yet-unnamed high-riding Bentley? I’m hoping for a tarted-up version of the Continental GT Speed’s W12. We’ll have to wait and see, though.

We’ll be keeping up on all the developments surrounding the Bentley SUV. So be sure to check back soon for more.

Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work

Main screen of the Mini infotainment system

When you think Mini, you probably don’t think of infotainment. Personally, I think of the British flag taillights, the distinct exterior, and the surprising room on the inside. But after driving the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman over the past week, infotainment might well be something I think of more often when it comes to Mini. It’s charming.

It also, however, suffers from all the traps that other legacy automakers fall into when it comes to software design. Mini has something on its hands here — but it still needs some work.
Bringing the charm
The first thing that stood out to me about the system when I got in the car was how fun it was. That all starts with the display. It’s round! No, it’s not curved — the screen is a big, round display sits in at 9.4 inches, and I found it plenty large enough for day-to-day use.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.

Nearly all current owners of electric vehicles (EVs) are either satisfied or very satisfied with the experience, and 92% of them plan to buy another EV, according to a survey by the Global EV Drivers Alliance.

The survey of 23,000 EV drivers worldwide found that only 1% would return to a petrol or diesel car, while 4% would opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) if they had to replace their car.
