Bentley Bentayga at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Introduced in the summer of 2020, this update to the first-generation Bentayga brings it closer in line with Bentley's latest design language, particularly mirroring cues from the Continental GT and Flying Spur. Despite already selling over 20,000 units prior to the facelift, the manufacturer opted to modernize the vehicle rather than introduce an entirely new generation. The refresh focuses heavily on exterior refinement, significant interior technology upgrades, and improved rear-seat passenger comfort. Buyers can choose between several potent powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid, a standard V8, and the high-performance W12 Speed variant.
- Power: 550-635 hp
- Engine displacement: 3996-5950 cc
- Transmissions: 8-speed automatic
- Seating: 5 seats

Bentley Bentayga overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior styling receives substantial updates, most notably at the rear. The Bentayga features a completely redesigned tailgate housing new coupe-style taillights, while the license plate has been relocated to the bumper. The rear track is also 20 mm wider. Up front, a more upright and slightly larger grille is paired with repositioned matrix LED headlights featuring a crystal-cut design. Enlarged air intakes on the lower front bumper and reshaped exhaust tips further differentiate this facelift from the outgoing model.
Interior
The cabin shifts towards digital modernization, replacing analog gauges with a fully virtual instrument cluster. The dashboard centers around a new 10.9-inch touchscreen, with physical buttons neatly arranged beneath it and trapezoidal air vents taking the place of the previous round ones. Standard equipment includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless device charging. Rear-seat passengers benefit from a dedicated 5-inch touchscreen tablet to control climate and media, alongside available Naim premium audio setups.
Performance
The core engine is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 550 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque, pushing the SUV to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. For maximum performance, the Bentayga Speed utilizes a 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine delivering 635 horsepower, reducing the 0-100 km/h time to just 3.9 seconds. A V6 plug-in hybrid is also available. All engines pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a Torsen-based all-wheel-drive system. Air suspension, variable-ratio steering, and available active roll control ensure composed handling.
Practicality
Flexibility is a key aspect of the cabin, with three distinct seating layouts offered: four, five, or seven seats. The five-seat configuration gains an increased backrest recline angle and available rear ventilation. Opting for the four-seat layout replaces the bench with two individual rear seats, providing between 30 and 100 mm of additional legroom. The cargo area remains versatile for daily use, with a standard capacity of 484 liters.
Safety and tech
The Bentayga features an extensive suite of electronic aids, including 360-degree cameras and traffic jam assist. Each headlight houses 82 individual LEDs for precise matrix illumination. Advanced chassis technology like the Drive Dynamics Mode provides up to eight driving profiles, catering to both paved roads and off-road conditions, while optional carbon-ceramic brakes offer enhanced stopping power.
Buyer notes
When comparing Bentayga models, the primary decision lies in the powertrain and seating layout. The V8 provides a strong balance of performance and relatively lower fuel consumption, while the W12 Speed caters to those seeking top-tier acceleration. Buyers prioritizing rear-passenger comfort should seek out the four-seat configuration, though the five- and seven-seat options provide better utility for families.
