Bentley Bentayga Hybrid Gets Extra EV Miles And More Trim Grades

Bentley has increased the electric-only driving range of the Bentayga Hybrid and moreover made the electrified powertrain misogynist to increasingly trim grades in the lineup.

The key tech transpiration is a new 18 kWh shower that doesn’t exactly transform the Bentayga’s zero-emissions capabilities considering plane in its upgraded form Bentley says it can only unhook up to 27 miles (44 km) of electric driving equal to the WLTP cycle. Still, that’s 2 miles (3 km) increasingly than the outgoing car could manage.

The cadre powertrain ingredients still subsume a 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine and a single electric motor, but that electric motor now produces 6 percent increasingly power and 15 percent increasingly torque. The motor’s output improves to 134 hp (136 PS) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) as a result, boosts the overall powertrain from 443 hp (449 PS) to 456 hp (462 PS), and cuts the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) soupcon lanugo from 5.5 to 5.3 seconds.

Bentley previously positioned the Hybrid as a standalone model within the Bentayga range but has now extended the availability of the electrified setup to make it an volitional to the twin-turbo V8 on both the sporty S and luxury Azure trim levels.

S models swap chrome trim for woebegone highlights, full-length 22-inch “scythe” wheels, tinted lamp lenses, 15 percent stiffer dampers, and get a sports frazzle that can plane be tuned to suit the preferences of front and rear passengers. But buyers with an eye on regal repletion will be largest off with the Azure and its 10-spoke, 22-inch wheels, chrome accents, 22-way willowy chairs, and an interior decked out with open-pore wood.

Bentley says the new hybrid additions to the Bentayga lineup midpoint that half of the firm’s model range (seven out of 14 cars) is now misogynist with an electrified powertrain, putting it well on its way to 100 percent availability in 2025, the year it will unveil its first full EV.
