Bentley Unveils Its Latest Model, a Long Wheelbase Version of Its Lux Bentayga SUV With 24 Billion Trim Combos

• Bentley has increased the length of its class-leading luxury SUV by 180 mm to create the company's grand tourer
• The model has a new focus on wellness, with integrated world-first seat technology with increased interior dimensions
• Inside one finds Airline Seat Specification which includes the world-first auto climate sensing and advanced postural adjustment systems
• There are three seating configurations to choose from, including an all-new 4+1 layout alongside four- and five-seat versions

Bentley is bringing a new focus on wellness to its model range with the launch of the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase – a new grand touring SUV that builds on the strengths of the Bentayga to become a new luxury flagship, extending the latest product range to five models.

So much more than just a stretch, the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase is the result of a nine-figure investment by Bentley to create a new model that provides the best rear cabin experience since a Mulsanne, whilst retaining the Bentley hallmarks of effortless performance, exquisite handcraftsmanship and endless personalisation.

First unveiled in 2015, the Bentayga remains Bentley’s best-selling model and now the British carmaker has added the Extended Wheelbase version, Newspress reports.

The company says the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase has the potential to raise the ceiling of the D-segment, as one of the spiritual successors to the Mulsanne.

This model has 24 billion different trim combinations with myriads of options to choose from to give the car a bespoke feel, Motor1.com reports.

Power is derived from a turbocharged V8 engine with 404kW with all that power channeled through an automatic gearbox and fed to all four wheels.

In terms of driving dynamics, the Bentayga EWB has new rear-wheel steering and Bentley Dynamic Ride as standard. Bentley says the first customers will receive their cars in the final quarter of 2022.

The British carmaker is anticipating the new Extended Wheelbase version will be responsible for up to 45% of all Bentayga sales when the car goes on sale later this year.

It is bullish that the Bentayga will retain the top spot in Bentley’s sale charts and be the most successful and in-demand luxury SUV in the world.

The Bentley Bentayga Speed Space themed edition by Mulliner is out of this world

Bentley Orlando has used Mulliner’s extensive capability to produce a bespoke space-themed Bentayga Speed for one of its customers, Briefly News reports.

Using feature content from Mulliner’s personal commissioning guide and a number of bespoke elements, the resulting Speed is a stunning individual example of the craftsmanship associated with Mulliner. The exterior paint shade of Cypress is famously familiar from the launch of the first-generation Continental GT in 2003.

The dark metallic grey with subtle green undertones creates a dark, stone-like exterior, with visual presence increased by the use of Blackline Specification – replacing all exterior bright ware with gloss black version. Orange Flame accents to the gloss carbon fibre Styling Specification take inspiration from comet dust trails racing across the night sky and add a bright contrast to the Cypress paintwork.
