Bentley, the most sought after luxury car brand in the world, introduces its first SUV - The Bentley Bentayga. Boasting a level of performance and class unprecedented in the realm of SUVs, the Bentayga is perhaps the most anticipated release of 2016. In extraordinary juxtaposition to the competition, the Bentayga is an instant classic offering unmistakable comfort, refinement and control capable of taking on the most demanding conditions.
As if signature design elements like the expertly handcrafted interior, matrix grille or the 4 adaptive LED headlamps synonymous with the marque weren’t enough to set it apart, an estimated top speed of 187 mph will make the Bentley Bentayga the fastest SUV in the world. The twin turbo W12 engine features 600 hp, an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive making 0 to 60 in 4.0 seconds an effortless feat. Paired with Bentley’s first combination of direct-injection and port-injection technology, the SUV conquers inclines of up to 35? and reaches 90% of peak torque within 1.1 seconds.
For overcoming off-road challenges, the Bentayga implements Drive Dynamics Mode, Bentley’s unique four-mode air suspension capability designed to conquer all conditions. The first in any vehicle, the Bentayga’s 48V electronic Active Roll Control delivers automatic individual wheel control and increased axle articulation for a more comfortable and controlled ride on any terrain.
For more intuitive city navigation, the top view camera makes parking simple by combining front, rear and side views into a single bird’s eye view while the City Safeguard and Pedestrian system warning applies emergency braking when necessary to protect from potential collisions. Another first for Bentley is the stop-start technology that allows the engine to take a break (no pun intended) when the vehicle is stationary, reducing emissions.
Luxury isn’t confined to design in the Bentayga. It resonates from the 1920 watt, 21-channel amplifier in the 20 speaker Naim audio system, the most powerful of any SUV. It’s evident in the fully integrated 4G WiFi hotspot connection, Head-Up windscreen projector, automatic Night Vision and Traffic Sign Recognition technology. The 8” customizable Touchscreen operates radio, navigation, media and phone options effortlessly, while the two 10.2” removable tablets built into the headrests connect passengers to the Bentayga’s entertainment system while they enjoy extraordinary views from the panoramic roof.
With a release slated for early 2016, to say that Bentley Atlanta is excited about the arrival of the 2017 Bentley Bentayga is an understatement. Bentley Atlanta, located in Atlanta’s prestigious Alpharetta neighborhood, is the only authorized Bentley dealer in Georgia and one of only 5 in the southeast United States. That means eager enthusiasts will be traveling from all over the region to get their hands on the luxurious SUV, once just a figment of our imaginations.
