Bentley has been present in the market for more than a century. The brand has built a strong reputation by rolling off luxury vehicles with higher agility. After successful sedan ranges, Bentley initiated their luxury SUV series by launching Bentayga in 2015. Bentley claims that its Bentayga was the first true luxury SUV across the globe.
Let’s discuss the Bentley Bentayga history, models, and generations in more detail.
Bentley Bentayga Models
The fun fact about Bentley is that, Bentayga is its first SUV named after an island called ‘Roque Bentayga, Spain’. The SUV was designed to provide utmost comfort, efficient engine performance and higher ride quality. The Bentayga is a perfect combination of luxury, comfort and speed.
Below we elaborate different Bentayga models and their features.
Bentayga (2015 to 2020)
The first model of Bentayga was launched with a muscular exterior with sharp power lines running from front to rear end. The B-shaped wing vent, extensive brightware and large tyres used on the exterior added more to the athletic appeal of the Bentayga.
The interior of Bentayga was decorated with handcrafted sustainably sourced wood. These wood-finished interiors were paired with hand-stitched leather and optional mood lighting. The car was powered by a W12 engine that can accelerate Bentayga from 0 to 100km/h in 4.1 seconds.
Bentayga Diesel (2016 to 2020)
The 2016 Bentayga was the first vehicle in the Bentley Bentayga history, equipped with a V8 diesel engine. This 4.0-litre 8-cylinder, 32-valve engine was capable of accelerating Bentayga from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.
The older front grille was replaced with a gloss black matrix design and two twin-quad tailpipes were also installed. A ‘V8 DIESEL’ badge was embedded at the lower end of the front door to make this car visually distinct.
Bentayga Mulliner (2017 to 2018)
The Mulliner variant of Bentayga was the prime example of craftsmanship. The exterior of Mulliner receives a facelift with redesigned paragon wheels, treadplates and LED lamps.
The interior of Mulliner redefined luxury with its two-toned wood finish cabin. The rear seats could be adjusted in 18 different ways and included a massage and ventilation facility. Along with this, a bottle cooler and chiller were also present. The car was powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine.
Bentayga V8 (2018 to 2020)
The V8 version of Bentayga was unveiled in 2018. The exterior was facelifted with a new black chrome radiator grille and twin-quad tailpipes. Whereas, the whole cabin was handcrafted with fluted seats. The signature B-Shaped foot pedals and tread plates were also present.
The efficient V8 provides a higher engine torque of 77 Nm that can accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. The Blackline Specification was a popular trim of Bentayga V8. It was the only vehicle in the history of Bentley Bentayga in which all the coloured brightware pieces were replaced with black coloured pieces.
Bentayga Hybrid (2018 to 2020)
In order to reduce the carbon footprint of Bentayga, Bentley launched its hybrid version in 2018. The discrete hybrid badge on the exterior is bespoke for its hybrid engine.
For the interior, the upper cabin was trimmed with Eliade and lacquered veneers running across the cabin. Moreover, the cabin was completely noise-proof because of the eight different insulating layers.
The car was powered by a V6 hybrid engine capable of generating a maximum torque of 700 Nm. This hybrid engine was supported by three different driving modes including hybrid, hold and all-electric EV drive.
Bentayga Speed (2019 to 2020)

The exterior of Speed was redesigned with a spoiler, dark tint lamps, lower bumper grilles and radiator shell matrix. The interior was decorated with diamond-quilted seats, leather steering wheels, an advanced infotainment system and sports pedals.
The Bentayga Speed can speed from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds because of its high-powered W12 engine.
