2020 #Bentley #Bentayga #Hybrid
Bentayga Hybrid is designed and engineered at the Bentley factory in Crewe, and the Bentley DNA is immediately visible in its sleek lines, B-shaped wing vents and distinctive headlamp cluster. It is instantly recognisable as a member of the Bentayga family, with the flowing curves and seamless surfaces of its advanced aluminium exterior balancing sportiness with SUV presence.
Discreet Hybrid badging on the tailgate and lower door area announce its remarkable capabilities in style, while painted 21” five twin-spoke alloy wheels as standard make an already stunning exterior even more eye-catching.
Handcrafted from the finest materials, Bentayga Hybrid’s interior engenders a sense of calm by soothing the senses. It is beautiful to look at, with the upper cabin trimmed in Eliade, a contemporary technical fabric that contrasts perfectly with the lacquered veneers running around the cabin. It is pleasing to the touch, with exquisitely comfortable fluted seats and a tactile diamond knurling finish to the driver controls. It is also exceptionally relaxing to the ear, with the satisfying silence of the all-electric driving mode enhanced by eight layers of noise isolation that keep the sounds of the city at bay.
Bentley has always pushed the boundaries of performance, and now Bentayga Hybrid adds a new measure by which performance can be judged: serenity - a quality in which this groundbreaking SUV excels. Effortless acceleration, even at low speeds, makes driving feel truly sublime, while the exquisite silence of the electric EV Drive mode brings a sense of calm to urban journeys - one that is enhanced by the satisfaction of enjoying the lowest CO2 emissions of the Bentayga range.
This may be a hybrid, but it is also very much a Bentley. So you can be sure there are no compromises when it comes to the more traditional measures of performance: power and speed. The class-leading V6 petrol engine contains a twin-scroll turbocharger that enables rapid response and high efficiency, and the engine works seamlessly with the electric motor to provide an impressive 700 Nm of combined torque. This allows Bentayga Hybrid to go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds) and on to a top speed of 158 mph (254 km/h), making this remarkable SUV as exhilarating as it is serene.
