The Bentley Bentayga EWB has already left the assembly line and deliveries are beginning

If you are one of those who enjoy driving an SUV, the Bentley Bentayga has surely crossed your mind at some point. But the British luxury car brand not only wants to maintain the level of the model, it is also offering a new version that provides more interior space thanks to the longer wheelbase. This is the Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase or EWB.

To improve this aspect, the wheelbase has been increased by 180 mm, which gives the rear more room. Rear-seat comfort is also improved since the model is offered with four- and five-seat configurations. Additionally, there is a third variant with 4+1 seats.

The latter features four regular seats and a third folding seat that opens between the two main ones. Thus, the comfort of the two rear passengers is defined by the standard equipment, but an extra seat can be added for short journeys. This additional seat does not have the comforts of the others, but it serves to carry a fifth occupant.

The seats have further novelties. They can be airline-style seats, which can recline at an angle of up to 40 degrees to make resting easier. The seats feature integrated heating and cooling, reinforced backrest adjustment, and a center armrest.

Under the hood of this variant is an 8.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine that delivers 542 CV and a maximum torque of 770 Nm. The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration is rated at 4.5 seconds, and its top speed reaches 290 km/h.

The good news is that the first unit of the Bentley Bentayga EWB has already left the factory assembly line in Crewe, in the United Kingdom. The first deliveries are set to begin within a few days, and the first buyers of this variant will soon be able to enjoy them.

As for sales, the brand has announced that around 40% of the model’s sales have focused on the variant with the extended wheelbase, so it can be said that it has been very well received.
