The Bentayga was controversial when it first debuted back in the good old days of 2015, before pandemic waves, supply chain issues and inflation became the only topics of conversation. Now that uber-luxury SUVs have gone mainstream, Bentley is doing quite well in navigating the current world — with an even bigger uber-luxury SUV.
Nobody doubts the size of a Bentley Bentayga. The burly, yet suave SUV is the choice of many hotshots who worship the rear seat. To cater to this huge demand, here is the Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, with even more room for those rich legs to stretch.
While a 2.5 ton SUV cannot be called sporty, Bentley is making a successful go at it, and decided to offer their mammoth Bentayga in another flavour. The Bentayga S joins the luxury SUV range as a sportier middle ground between the base V8 Bentayga and the full-blown Bentayga Speed V12.
Bentley’s Bentayga is a very important product for the luxury brand. With the electrification trend going strong, the plug-in hybrid version of the Bentayga is a key player in the SUV lineup. So, just a year after its introduction, the Bentayga Hybrid follows the tracks of the recently facelifted regular Bentayga and Bentayga Speed, getting a refresh.
Bentley is in the process of updating its range to flaunt a new design language. Their Continental GT and Flying Spur models have already received the treatment and the recently-revealed mid-cycle facelift of the Bentayga brought the behemoth closer to the rest of the range. The Speed version has just been announced.
There’s no denying the Bentley Bentayga has polarising looks, yet it’s been a solid sales success for the Crewe-based premium brand. The leather-lined behemoth recorded an 18 percent year-on-on-year increase in sales in 2019 and accounted for 45 per cent of the company’s production volume last year.
The behemoth from Bentley’s lineup, the Bentayga, was the fastest SUV in the world at the time it was released. But all that changed as the Lamborghini Urus came into the picture. And now, Bentley has taken another shot at the crown with an even faster version, the Bentayga Speed.
The Bentley Bentayga lineup, hot after the debut of the cheaper V8 model, now gets the Bentayga Plug-in Hybrid model and it was revealed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. But Bentley has not released details about the output, battery capacity or the range of the new Hybrid.
When Bentley’s first SUV, the Bentayga, was introduced more than two years ago, it came only with a W12 engine. A V8 diesel was added later to the lineup which opened the floodgates to many controversial debates. Now Bentley has chosen another V8 to power the Bentayga, this time it’s a petrol.
As per their own words, Bentley has created the “ultimate accessory for the falconry enthusiast”, with the new Bentayga Falconry by Mulliner.
