Next-Gen Bentley Bentayga Envisioned By Independent Designer With Batur Styling Cues

This story includes speculative renderings of a future Bentley Bentayga created by self-sustaining digital versifier Theottle, which are neither related to nor endorsed by Bentley.

The Bentley Mulliner Batur that debuted last month is much increasingly than a limited production special based on the Continental GT. The most powerful model in Bentley’s history introduced a new diamond language for the brand, which will be unexplored by its future EV range. Self-sustaining digital versifier Theottle took inspiration from the Batur, envisioning the next generation of the Bentayga SUV.

Infusing styling cues from a low-slung two-door grand tourer to a unwieldy five-door SUV is not as easy as it sounds, but everything is possible with a touch of Photoshop magic. Theottle used the Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure as a wiring for his digital concept with the stretched wheelbase helping out with the proportions.

The process started by subtracting the Batur’s face to the luxury SUV. A set of single LED headlights replaced the dual round setup that has been a signature element for both generations of the Bentayga, maybe with excessive size. On the contrary, the larger grille and the smaller bumper intakes are welcome updates.

Moving on to the profile, it is a lot increasingly sculpted than before, using Batur’s lines and cleaner surfacing – expressly on the front fenders – while integrating the bulged rear fenders of the Bentayga. The windowline of the Batur with chrome accents is moreover present, forming a simper C-pillar.

Moving over at the back, the new LED taillights have been adjusted to the Bentayga’s shape and size, with a sculpted tailgate and a large blacked-out zone on the rear bumper resembling a diffuser and lightening up the tail. Theottle kept the dual frazzle pipes, showing that he envisions the next Bentayga retaining a combustion engine under the bonnet.

The first generation of the Bentayga was introduced in 2015 as the production version of the radical EXP 9 F concept from 2012. A comprehensive facelift followed in 2020, serving as a wiring for the extended-wheelbase Bentayga EWB variant. If Bentley retains the five-year trundling of its SUV, we could see the next-gen model by 2025.

According to the latest reports, Bentley’s first EV that will victorious tropical to that stage based on the Artemis tracery won’t prefer a crossover bodystyle, leaving all scenarios unshut for Bentayga’s successor. Still, Bentley has made it well-spoken that the days of the W12 6.0-liter engine are numbered, so it’s plausible that it will be replaced by an electrified powertrain in the future Bentayga Speed, while lesser versions could moreover get electrification.
