Design of the 2017 Bentley Bentayga
Bentayga is everything you would expect from an SUV created by Bentley. This is the most luxurious, hand-built, all-terrain vehicle on Earth. An SUV where technology, speed and power have been brought together to offer an extraordinary driving experience. An SUV that can be tailored to your own unique taste, through matchless levels of personalization and a wide range of options.
Exterior that Tantalizes Senses
Sleek and classy may be an understatement while describing the exterior built and looks of the new Bentley Bentayga. It is built to not only be aesthetically beautiful but also to engage all your aesthetic senses to the fullest.
The Bentayga has sharp signature lines, flowing curves and smooth surfaces of the advanced aluminum exterior that brings a fresh look to the traditional Bentley vehicle designs. The whole exterior is characterized by sharply defined creases from front to back, which are the result of an “innovative superforming technique,” first introduced by the aerospace industry. It makes the exterior durable as well as more streamlined.
The extensive large and brightware, B-shaped wing vent and 22-inch large wheels add striking details to the exterior of the Bentley Bentayga.
Exclusive Hand-Built Interior
Stepping inside, the Bentley Bentayga has a whole new experience to offer, as everything from the switches right down to the very leather stitching is handmade. Only the most exquisite materials were used including beautiful wood veneers, which seamlessly surrounds the driver and the passenger with a smooth touch.
Light floods into the cabin from the panoramic sunroof to reflect off the solid metal and the hand-stitched leather interior. This shows the attention to detail by the craftsmen and how much effort has been put in to hand-build this spectacular SUV.
One exclusively striking feature of the Bentley Bentayga is the innovative Event Seat. The patented sliding and folding seat is trimmed in leather and finished with diamond quilting. These seats can slide out from the cargo area, allowing you and your passengers to enjoy the view outside when you are out for an adventure trip. The tailgate can be used for shade during the day while built-in illuminating light can be used at night.
There is a wide range of seat configuration to choose from. Bentayga offers three different options for seating in one body style inside the cabin. These options are four, five and seven-seat options.
Personalization Option for Bentley Bentayga
No ultimate luxury and exclusivity is complete without the option of personalization and making the high-end luxury vehicle your very own.
Whether it’s the colour of the exterior body work or the leather theme of the seats in the cabin, Bentley customers have the luxury to configure their own Bentayga from a wide range of options.
Bentayga includes a full leather-trimmed interior with a choice of 15 standard colours for hides and carpets. One can choose between 5 standard colours, for a new duo-tone interior.
The new colour-coded cargo area option lets you specify the same colour-matched carpet in the cargo area as you choose for the rest of the interior. There is also an option of adding a finishing touch to the deep-pile mats with a leather binding in a contrasting colour.
The lucky owners can choose from a range of 17 standard and over 100 optional exterior paint colours. A range of 12 duo tone colour schemes available in ‘light over dark’ or ‘dark over light’ configurations allow you to make your Bentayga truly personalized.
