NEW BENTAYGA EWB

Overview

The New Bentayga Extended Wheelbase is a car with incredible road presence, while offering a superlative experience for passengers who sit in the rear. The letters ‘EWB’ denote its extended wheelbase – a 180mm stretch that increases rear legroom significantly. From the outside, however, the extra length is only noticeable as a slightly longer rear door. With clever chassis technology such as all-wheel steering, the vehicle is surprisingly easy to manoeuvre, even in tight city streets. And like every Bentley, it combines incredible craftsmanship with thrilling performance – delivered in this case by a powerful 4.0 litre V8 engine.

Design

Extended it may be, but this remarkable SUV is also incredibly easy on the eye. When you view it from the side, that 180mm of extra length is visible in a slightly elongated rear door, preserving the stunning proportions and sleek lines of the original Bentayga.

The closer you look, the more you see, with lovingly crafted details in evidence all over the car, from the vertical vaned grille at the front to the contrast-coloured accents on the bumpers at the front and the rear.

Step inside and you will experience a world of light and space, especially in the rear, where that 180 mm of extra length in the wheelbase can be felt directly, in the enormous amount of legroom on offer. The rear cabin also features a clever seat arrangement, courtesy of Bentley’s new 4+1 seat configuration. It allows two rear seat passengers to sit in the comfort of fully-featured seats similar to those in the front, while also allowing space for a third back seat passenger, if required.

The handcrafted leather upholstery features a streamlined, fluted pattern – and it can be delivered in an incredible range of colours. There are two-tone colour splits for a more striking interior colour scheme, alongside options including matching deep pile overmats for the floor and contrast stitching, which really brings the whole cabin to life.

A central console runs down from the fascia and between the two front seats, offering access for rear-seat passengers to Bentley’s Touchscreen Remote, which lets them adjust many in-car functions, from heating and seat settings to the audio system.

Performance

Despite the generous space on offer, this is a car you can really enjoy driving, thanks to the advanced 4.0 litre V8 engine under the bonnet. Like every Bentley, it delivers effortless performance, with a power output of 550 PS and 770 Nm of torque. It’s enough to take you from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds).

The ride is supremely refined at all times, thanks to the innovative Bentley Dynamic Ride anti-roll system. When the vehicle is cornering hard, it uses electric motors to reduce body roll, keeping the cabin much more level than it would otherwise be. When the car is driving in a straight line, however, the system relaxes its grip, allowing for a smooth ride, free of bumps or vibrations. The result is a luxurious travelling experience, wherever you sit in the car.

Technology

With a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay* and Android Auto**, the New Bentayga EWB is completely connected. The My Bentley smartphone app provides remote features such as the ability to locate your car and even to be alerted if it is moved without your permission.

In the front of the car, the driver and passenger will enjoy the benefits of Bentley’s Front Seat Comfort Specification. This flagship seating package includes heated and ventilated seats with massage functions and 20-way electrical adjustment and comfort headrests. Each seat has two memory settings, which means two people who regularly sit in it can configure the settings to their preferences.

In the back, you can add the optional Bentley Rear Entertainment system. It adds a high-resolution touchscreen to the back of each front seat, so passengers in the rear can play content (e.g. music, movies or games) from their mobile devices. Sound can be streamed to the earphones provided or the passengers’ own equipment. It can even be played through the car’s sound system.

Other head-turning features include zoned heating and ventilation and waterfall lighting, plus the optional Naim for Bentley audio system – a stunning upgrade to the Bentley Signature Audio system that comes as standard.

Personalisation

The New Bentayga EWB can be ordered in seven standard exterior colours, but that is really just the beginning. Bentley’s extended paint range adds many more optional colours, alongside the premium exterior finishes in the Mulliner paint range. In all, it adds up to around 60 colours – and if you still don’t see your ideal colour, you can even commission a bespoke paint.

The standard wheel is 21” in size, with a stunning silver painted finish – just one of a range available. There is also the option to upgrade to a 22” 5-spoke design.

For the interior, there is an enormous range of veneers available for the fascia, waistrails and centre console. They include a number of traditional high-gloss woods, plus some contemporary open-pore wood finishes that use less lacquer for a more minimalist effect, and sleek alternative finishes including new Piano Linen by Mulliner and Dark Tint Diamond-Brushed Aluminium. If you choose a high-gloss wood, you can add gleaming metal overlays as a dazzling finishing touch.

You can add the optional Bentley Airline Seat Specification, which allows the rear seats to recline while a footrest is deployed from the back of the seat in front. The front passenger seat can fold forward if unoccupied, to give the passenger behind it even more room to relax. Optional Bentley Diamond Illumination allows light to flow beautifully through the soft trim in the cabin. You can even opt to add Power Close Rear Doors that shut quietly behind you, when you get in or out.
