British luxury marque Bentley has revealed its updated Bentayga SUV, with new styling, cabin tech and an updated plug-in hybrid engine option in the works.
The updated four-, five- and seven-seater Bentayga will be powered by a familiar 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 404kW/770Nm at launch, but will be joined by plug-in hybrid and 6.0-litre W12 engine ‘Speed’ variants later on. Outputs and driving range for the upgraded plug-in hybrid have not been revealed.
The updated Bentley Bentayga has been snapped undergoing cold weather testing, as the British brand tweaks its SUV to battle the new Aston Martin DBX.
Compared to our previous spy photos, the 2020 Bentayga has a revised look for the front end inspired by the new Flying Spur, with a new grille, headlights, and front bumper.
The changes are more pronounced down back, where it appears the boxy taillights from the current model will be replaced with slicker, slimmer units.
Bentley has toppled the production SUV record at the 2018 Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, and will celebrate the feat with a run of 10 special editions.
It was a good weekend to be chasing records in Colorado. Volkswagen set a new overall course record in the all-electric I.D. R, and Rhys Millen hustled a lightly modified Bentayga up the 156 corners of Pikes Peak in 10:49.9 – a handy 1:45.71 quicker than the last Production SUV-class record, set by a Range Rover Sport in 2014.
