The model
Read full reviewWhen it comes to pure driving dynamics, the Bentley Bentayga in our preferred V8 S specification can stand toe to toe with performance-focused SUVs such as the Aston Martin DBX and Lamborghini Urus. Yet unlike those rivals, Bentley hasn’t compromised on refinement. In other words, it represents something of a sweet spot in the luxury SUV class.
The trim
See full equipmentThe standard Bentayga, if you can call it that, comes packed with kit that includes full matrix LED headlights with high-beam assist, auto wipers, heated leather seats, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera (with a top view angle), a panoramic roof, a 590W stereo system and a 10.9in infotainment system.
The engine
See full engine specsThis twin-turbocharged, 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine puts out a whopping 542bhp and allows the 2.5 tonne Bentayga to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds. Given the room, will go on to a top speed of 180mph.
