About this subject

The Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) is the long-wheelbase version of the iconic British luxury SUV. With 180 mm of extra space between axles, the model offers an interior worthy of a private jet, featuring rear seats that can include the Airline Seat Specification, which reclines up to 40 degrees, with heating, ventilation, and six-mode massage. Rear passengers also have retractable tables, cooled cup holders, and an entertainment system with two 10.1-inch touchscreens, controlled via titanium and crystal elements.

Beyond extreme comfort, the EWB is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 550 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. A plug-in hybrid version (V6 3.0 + electric motor) is also available, balancing performance and efficiency. The Bentley Dynamic Ride system and adaptive air suspension ensure a serene ride, even on 22-inch wheels.

Customization is taken to the extreme by Mulliner division, which offers hundreds of color, material, and finish options. Exclusive details include Bentley Diamond Knurling on the steering wheel and buttons, walnut or ebony wood panels, and seats upholstered in selected leather. The EWB directly competes with the Range Rover LWB and Mercedes-Maybach GLS, but stands out for its handcrafted touch and the brand's century-old heritage.

Interestingly, the Naim for Bentley sound system with 20 speakers and 2,200-watt amplifier transforms the cabin into a concert hall. A panoramic sunroof and electric rear curtains complete the atmosphere of privacy and refinement. Each Bentayga EWB takes about 130 hours to assemble at the Crewe factory in England, where specialized craftsmen ensure every stitch and fit is perfect.
