Bentley Bentayga SUV revealed

Bentley’s new Bentayga is unveiled – and it’s “the fastest, most powerful, most luxurious and most exclusive SUV in the world”.

Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Crewe, north-west England, it features an all-new twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine capable of reaching 62mph in 4 seconds and a top speed of 187mph.

Bentley claims the Bentayga offers the widest range of on and off-road drive settings of any vehicle.

“The Bentayga is truly the Bentley of SUVs,” said Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors.

“It redefines luxury in the SUV sector and offers a genuine Bentley experience in any environment, thanks to a combination of unparalleled attention to detail, go-anywhere ability and cutting-edge technology. With this extraordinary car we are looking
forward to an exciting period of strong growth and sales success for Bentley.

“The Bentayga is the next step in our brand’s bold future.”

Further down the line, Bentley will also launch a high performance, clean technology diesel and plug-in hybrid, as well as a seven-seat option.

The first Bentayga cars should be delivered to lucky customers in early 2016, just don’t expect much change from £150,000.
