A First-Class Pass to Luxuriousness First, let's clarify something.There are some people who can afford a Bentley SUV with four seats, a lot of leather inside, and a starting price of six figures.Sadly, we are not one of them.The members of that small group are extremely concerned about how things appear to the outside world.As a result, wealthy individuals have a brand hierarchy.Additionally, there is a great deal of brand loyalty, which is crucial for Bentley.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is at the top of the "well I've got a" hierarchy right now, at least.Bentley is aware that it won't be simple to change that.That's why Bentley spent a lot of money to build the EWB, which used more than 2,500 new parts.
In addition, despite the fact that the Bentayga starts at $263,500, Bentley anticipates that a significant number of these automobiles will be equipped well beyond $300,000, largely thanks to the Mulliner division of the company.It basically refers to the "anything you want" division of the brand.And if you're going to spend money on a loaded Bentayga with Rolls-Royce Cullinan money, you better get it.Performance:Please, Sir, May I Have Some More? The EWB's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 can be found under the Bentayga's hood, just behind those headlights we love so much.Bentley is correct when they claim that the V8 engine provides "supercar performance."The SUV's 5,542-pound frame accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in a hilarious 4.5 seconds thanks to 542 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque.That is quicker than the first-generation Acura NSX.
Yes, Bentley spent some time getting the power outputs where it wanted them, but efficiency has taken precedence. One example is cylinder deactivation, which lets the V8 run as a four-cylinder when there aren't many loads on it.
We are going to discuss spec in greater detail here.The Azure model, Bentayga's most luxurious and performance-oriented model, was the one we drove.After all, who purchases a performance-oriented extended-wheelbase SUV?
Other aspects of the Bentayga were also highly valued by the Brits.According to representatives from Bentley, the majority of Bentaygas will be city cars for the majority of their lives, so maneuverability was a particular focus.Bentley asked us to turn around at the top of a ski jump in Whistler after some off-roading.To be honest, not many cars would have made it all the way.However, the Bentayga's all-wheel steering is so effective that the EWB actually has a smaller turning circle than the standard vehicle.
Another way to make sure the Bentayga shrinks around you is this:Dynamic Ride from Bentley.It's essentially active body roll control.The system constantly counterrolls in the corners by utilizing the air suspension and electronic sway bars of the vehicle.In most cases, you won't even notice it working.It's excellent in that way.We didn't notice it until we were in the extra-large rear seats of the Bentayga.We remained level and level in the back while another journalist drove the Bentayga down a mountain road.
Even though the system actually ensures that the Bentayga EWB remains level and flat in the majority of situations, you are never isolated from the experience, especially at any real speed.
