2024 Bentley Bentayga
Starting at $206.350
What's New for 2024?
The Bentayga gets a new range-topping Mulliner trim for 2024 that comes with unique exterior design elements and can be specified in almost 4000 different interior color combinations. Bentley says it's also used more sustainable materials inside the Mulliner than other Bentleys, including carpets made from wool or recycled nylon, and leather tanned using a byproduct of olive oil. The Mulliner can be had only with the Bentayga's extended-wheelbase body and the V-8 engine. The rest of the Bentayga lineup receives some subtle styling changes, namely the grille and wheels. The S and Azure models receive a rear-wheel steering system. A pair of cushy bucket seats for the second row are now available too. The W-12 engine is no longer an option for the Bentayga as the brand phases it out in favor of more fuel-efficient offerings such as hybrids and EVs.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Bentley offers a variety of powertrains for the Bentayga. On the low end, you have a 443-hp hybrid arrangement with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 and an electric motor; Azure and S hybrids offer a slightly more powerful 455-hp version of the electrified powertrain. During testing, the Azure Hybrid reached 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, so not as quickly as the big-power twin-turbo V-8. Then there's the 542-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine. The V-8 emits a hearty burble on its way to 60 mph, which it does in just 3.5 seconds. Sadly, Bentley's W-12 engine is no longer offered in the Bentayga. Regardless of what's under the hood, all Bentaygas utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission and come standard with all-wheel drive. We also tested a 2023 Bentley Bentayga S as part of a 0-to-150-to-0 speed test where it returned to a stop in just 32.8 seconds.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Filled with rich-smelling leather, real wood trim, and glitzy metal accents, the Bentayga's cabin stays true to its luxury breeding. Bentley allows buyers to customize just about everything. Buyers can opt for front and rear buckets, seating four, or they can select a three-across second-row bench and a pop-up two-seat third-row to seat seven. While the rear seat doesn't feel as lavish as that of the Bentayga's key rival-the Rolls-Royce Cullinan-it still offers plenty of space for adult passengers to stretch out in. The new long-wheelbase model offers more legroom and additional amenities, so that's the one to buy if you're planning on being chauffeured.
