For when a Bentayga just isn't big enough...
Have you ever wondered where the Bentley Bentayga’s name comes from? Well, apparently it has a number of influences, including the Swahili word for “carried interest” and the Roque Bentayga, which is a rugged peak on the island of Gran Canaria. Well, the fact that it’s Bentley’s best-selling model certainly proves that it carries interest, although there’s not much that’s rugged about it.
The extra room it offers comes courtesy of the 180mm added to its wheelbase. That’s now 3,175mm, while the car’s overall length is pushed to 5,322mm. This is claimed to make the cabin larger than any other luxury competitor’s, and offers an ‘emphasis on wellness’. For example, the rear seating allows 16-way adjustment of the outer seats, which have, of course, heating and cooling and five different massage functions. But there’s also the Bentley Airline Seat option.
There are a few seating arrangements available: a four-plus-one, a straight four-seater or a full five-seater set-up. The four-seat option allows for more centre storage and a drinks cooler, while the five-seater means you can fold down the rear backrests for improved practicality. The seven-seat option that’s available with the SWB Bentayga isn’t offered – apparently, customer demand for that layout isn’t there in the EWB.
On top of this, there’s an optional ‘metal overlay in veneer’ for the facia and doors. Again, it’s all about precision. 0.07mm-thin slithers of brushed metal are bonded by hand to the veneer to create intricate designs with complete consistency. Advances in the technology offered includes a handheld touchscreen, to operate the various functions from the rear, and power-operated doors – that’s a first in a Bentley.
