The Bentley Bentayga Is Ultra Luxe; Mulliner Makes It Exclusive
The Bentley Bentayga EWB There's Bentley, and then, there's Mulliner, the top of the line trim that not only allows buyers to commission a personalized design, but pushes a Bentley design into collectible territory, potentially with a future on the lawn at Pebble Beach or the Amelia Island Concours. The ability to create a truly bespoke Bentley is the lure of Mulliner. Paired with the best-selling Bentayga EWB, or extended wheel base offering 7' more legroom over the standard model, the ultimate Bentley is born. The Bentley Bentayga, which accounts for more than 40% of the brand's sales, has an opening price of $203,000. The Mulliner edition, which carries a decidedly lofty premium—$99,000 over the Bentayga EWB, which is itself a $34,000 upgrade over the standard wheel base, starts at $336,000. And 'lofty' is quite popular among Bentley buyers; more than 70% of Bentley customers opt for Mulliner designs. The exterior Mulliner badge on the Bentley Bentayga It's not easy to instantly spot a Mulliner edition of a Bentayga unless it carries the Mulliner icons, which is a design choice of course; those who commission a Mulliner can always skip the badging. The Bentayga I recently drove was denoted by exterior Mulliner badges: a slash of chrome near the front doors; there were also name plates inside. The interior Mulliner badges picture the silhouette of the Bentayga, embedded in the woodgrain dash and on the polished wood and metal lattice work on the back of the 'picnic tables' that extend from the seat backs. The thin arcs of brass are so delicate and precise they seem as if they flowed from an artist's pen. The Bentayga itself is a demure SUV, blending into the sea of similarly sized SUVs on the road. Its full-size proportions are typical for its class, built on the same platform as the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Lamborghini Urus. And while its silhouette is familiar, it is distinct for its fenders, the sporty stance of its wheels, oval crystal-cut tail lights and its iconic face, framed by crystal cut headlights and a diamond mesh grille. The front end of the Bentley Bentayga You don't just buy a Bentley Bentayga, you commission one. Even with its entry level model, buyers can create a unique look and feel, even in the entry model, with hundreds of choices of deeply glowing paints. Mulliner takes this a step further, allowing custom colors, layered tints and hues that deepen the paint's resonance, to custom colors that Bentley's designers will create for a buyer. The resulting paint can be incredible on its own: a solid matte shade or one that seems to change color with the shift of clouds or sun. Our test model was painted in Brodgar with a Pale Brodgar roof, or silver and platinum that took on a sheen of chinchilla in the shade but looked more blue-gray in the sun; even though the roof was painted a lighter color, it was hard to tell if it was truly a different paint, or simply reflecting the sun. Inside the Bentley Bentayga you're greeted by layers of Bridge of Weir leather, deeply polished wood surfaces and elegant textured metals—or at least we were in our test model. The feel is of both the jewelry and the jewel box, all in one. I had to sit in the rear seat of the Bentayga before sliding into the driver's seat; I knew it would be good, but I wasn't prepared for just how good. I didn't want to leave. The seats envelop you with soft quilted leather and a microsuede pillow cradles your head. Push a button and the right rear seat begins to transform into a lounge chair complete with a footrest that extends from the back of the front seat. A panoramic sunroof overhead allowed the cabin to glow. With every surface finished in leather, wood or crafted metals your senses are completely ensconced in the Bentley world. The view from the driver's seat in the Bentley Bentayga Behind the wheel the Bentley Bentayga Milliner is just as delightful, or even more if you like to drive. The front cabin of our test model was fitted with gleaming wood called Liquid Amber, and it stands out instantly giving the cabin a yacht-like fee. The wood is a rich contrast to the creamy color of the Portland hide, which in any other luxury car might be called oyster or creamy beige. A contrasting darker brown Burnt Oak leather covered the dashboard, door panels and seat backs and other surfaces, allowing the lighter colors to guide the mood in the cabin. The dashboard is an undulating swath of leather, wood, gloss black and technology panels, the multimedia screen sitting in the space between the driver's display and the passenger's side of the cabin Below the screen is a climate panel with buttons for optimal control, and below that a command center with the gear shifter lever, drive mode selector and drive control buttons, all set on black backgrounds. The control buttons give a solid analog feel to the cabin; the gear lever, topped with a Bentley winged B icon, feels commanding in your hand. The Mulliner badge on the interior of the Bentley Bentayga Power is a luxury, after all, but too much power demands more of the driver and can take away from the luxury feel. The Bentayga Mulliner hits the perfect point between satisfying power—the twin turbo V8 is confident and offers quick acceleration—and performance: Even on curvy roads this large SUV holds its own, sticking to every curve but not tossing passengers around in the cabin. While all Bentayga models are powered by a twin turbo V8 engine that delivers a liberating 542 hp and 568 pound-feet of torque. And even with all that power, the Bentayga is relatively quiet. In B mode the default mode it's a bit louder and more assertive than comfort mode, but not quite as peppy as Sport mode. You'll hear the engine, but but even so, the sound is more ambient than prominent. The rear of the Bentley Bentayga; the push-button badge that opens the liftgate This moment could be a fleeting one for the current Bentley Bentayga, as the company mulls the next makeover of this full-size, full-luxe SUV. And just to be clear, Bentley has not announced a redesign of the Bentayga, though the recent redesigns and new powertrains in the Continental GT and Flying Spur have many anticipating that a Bentayga with a new powertrain can't be far behind. When Bentley announced the end of production of the W12 engine in 2024 and added more powerful plug-in hybrid electric powertrains to replace it, collectors pounced. The W12—essentially a dual V6 engine—was much-loved for its hand-built mechanical prowess. Buyers were encouraged to give the new powertrain a chance; while some dismissed the idea of a plug-in hybrid electric, others, like me, found it elating; far more quick and powerful. The loss of the W12 and wait for the hybrid means that the Bentley Bentayga offers only the single twin turbo V8 powertrain. And after driving it for a week, I found, that it's plenty. In fact, it delivers just 38 fewer horses than the W12 engine. But increasing power to 771 hp, as in the Continental and Flying Spur? That surely will add to the status of the Bentayga, making an even more illustrious and luxurious SUV.
