About the Bentley Bentayga
Vowing to raise the bar a little higher for the high-end luxury SUV class, Bentley offered the Bentayga with unrivalled off-roading capability and even performance. The Bentley Bentayga borrows a piece from all its top-performing rivals, including the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus and Volkswagon Touareg. However, the Bentayga is more refined than the Q7, has better off-roading capability than the Urus and more luxurious than the Touareg. In terms of speed, Bentley power the same V8 engine as the Cayenne, but the Bentayga delivers a quicker 0-62 mph sprint time of 4.5 seconds and a marginally higher top speed of 180 mph.
What should you expect to find in a Bentley Bentayga?
Unlike other models, Bentley packages the Bentayga trim range based on powertrain rather than features. Besides the limited-run Bentayga First Edition, you can choose from 5 trim specs: the Bentayga Hybrid, V8, V8 Design Series, Bentayga W12 and the range-topping Bentayga Speed. However, all trims get premium standard equipment and tech features, such as:
- 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- LED headlights
- Panoramic roof
- Sattellite navigation
- Soft-closing doors
- High centre console
- 4 USB power sockets
- WiFi hotspot
To ensure each Bentayga is unique, Bentley offers several customisation options. For instance, you can opt for a 3-seater bench in the rear instead of the throne-like standard 2-seater configuration. You can also add leather and exquisite veneer finishes to the interior. There are also complete option packs, like the All Terrain and Touring Specification kit, which add:
- 360-degree cameras
- Underside protection
- Adaptive cruise control
- Head-up display
- Lane-keep assist
It's worth noting that the full-featured infotainment system gets a 60 GB hard drive storage system. You can purchase an optional and more powerful 21-channel Naim audio system that includes a 300-watt subwoofer, a pair of super tweeters and 17 surround-sound speakers. Bentley claims that the sound system is the most powerful you can get in a production SUV.
