Bentley Bentayga Updates: Auto Climate Rear Seats, Sustainable Carpets

Bentley has revealed a range of improvements for its Bentayga luxury SUV, which is currently in its second generation. While that statement is not entirely accurate – as the model was initially launched in 2015 and facelifted in 2020 – the Bentayga will soon offer an expanded selection of exterior customization options, new cabin features, and enhanced safety systems.

One notable addition is the introduction of the all-wheel steering system, which enhances handling and maneuverability while reducing the turning circle. This feature now comes as standard on the Bentayga Azure and S models and can be optionally added to other models. However, one of the most impressive updates is the inclusion of the Airline Seat Specification. Previously, this feature was only available on the long wheelbase model and was recognized for its ability to adjust passenger posture and provide automatic seat climate control. Now, this system, which measures the passenger’s temperature and surface humidity every 25 milliseconds and adjusts the heat, ventilation, or both simultaneously, will be available on all Bentayga variants.

Bentley Bentayga EWB Mulliner: A New Flagship Model

Bentley has introduced the Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) Mulliner as its new flagship model. This luxury SUV offers more cabin space compared to its competitors and comes with bespoke enhancements, according to the British automaker.

The Bentayga EWB Mulliner is based on the brand’s popular Bentayga SUV. It undergoes the craftsmanship of Bentley’s in-house coachbuilder, Mulliner, resulting in a vehicle that exudes artistic elegance.

Under the hood, this variant is powered by the same 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine found in the regular Bentayga SUV. It generates an impressive 542 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. The Bentayga EWB Mulliner is available in either a 4+1 or 4-seat configuration.

One of the standout features of this flagship model is its standard Airline Seat specification. Bentley describes it as the most advanced automotive seating system in the world, featuring 12 electric motors and 22-way adjustment. However, this seating option is also available as an upgrade for the non-Mulliner Bentayga EWB.

What sets the coach-built Bentayga EWB Mulliner apart is its luxurious interior. It boasts Mulliner Harmony Diamond Quilt leather upholstery on the seats and door panels. The vehicle also includes Mulliner deep-pile overmats made from 100 percent wool, Grand Black wood veneer trim, three-dimensional diamond milled finish on the center console, and Mulliner name embroidery on each seat.

Bentley introduces new range-topping Bentayga EWB Mulliner priced at £254k

Bentley has unveiled a new top-of-the-range variant of the Bentley Bentayga EWB, created by their Mulliner division.

Priced at £254,000 in the UK, this SUV comes with Airline rear seats as standard, available in either a four- or four-plus-one layout.

These seats can be reclined up to 40 degrees and are equipped with temperature and humidity sensors that automatically adjust the heating or venting accordingly. Additionally, they include a massaging feature that constantly changes the shape of the seat surface to reduce fatigue.

The interior of the vehicle features new Olive Tan leather upholstery, which is stained using an olive-oil byproduct derived from waste water. This purification process not only conserves water but also ensures the material remains free from toxic chemicals, according to Bentley.

The new cabin carpets are also made entirely from recycled nylon, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

One of the notable technological features in the Mulliner edition is Bentley’s Diamond Illumination technology, which adds LED illumination through small holes in the leather doorcards, with a diameter of less than 1mm. This lighting system is controlled through the infotainment screen.

Another distinctive feature of the Mulliner edition is a special clock that takes pride of place on the dashboard, exclusively designed for Mulliner cars.

On the exterior, the changes are more subtle, with the addition of a Double Diamond grille pattern and a set of 22-inch wheels shared with the Continental GT and Flying Spur Mulliner.

Buyers also have the option to add the Blackline package, which finishes all the brightwork, except the badges, in gloss-black paint.
