All that's included at no extra cost is automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
I'm disappointed the Bentayga doesn't offer more in the way of standard driving aids, especially considering the six-figure price tag. It'll kick some ass, but always remains civilized. If the Lambo is a cage fighter, the Bentley is a gentleman boxer. The Lamborghini Urus, meanwhile, takes things too far in the other direction, with a much more raw and visceral experience - and twice as ugly, too. Both of those SUVs are quick, don't get me wrong, but they aren't made for backroad shenanigans. This focus on sportiness is what sets the Bentayga apart from its closest competitors, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Based on how nicely this thing handles winding roads, you'd never think you were in a 5,000-plus-pound leather-clad behemoth. The end result is an SUV that truly drives like a lighter, more nimble car. It works like a charm, keeping the Bentayga nice and flat on twisty roads.īentley reworked the Bentayga's brake-based torque-vectoring tech so it's more responsive to inputs.
The Bentayga S comes standard with Bentley's Dynamic Ride technology, made up of 48-volt architecture that can apply 959 pound-feet of torque to the SUV's anti-roll bars to balance the body while cornering. The acceleration is more immediate, the steering is heavier and the exhaust gets a whole lot louder. But switch the setting to Sport and everything gets better. The Bentayga's standard driving mode - labeled B, for Bentley - is perfectly serene. After a week of testing that includes 600 miles of driving, I averaged 18.3 mpg. The Bentayga S has an EPA-estimated rating of 15 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined.
Fuel economy isn't even that bad, all things considered.
