The Sound of Silence

The Bentayga Diesel is the first diesel model in Bentley’s history, and arguably the most efficient and silent diesel ever created. At the heart of the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury diesel SUV beats an engineering marvel, an allnew, triple-charged, 4.0-litre, 32-valve V8 diesel engine. Developing 320 kw and 900 Nm of torque, the Bentayga Diesel is capable of a top speed of 270 km/h and can accelerate all of its 2.4 tons from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Even more remarkable is the total lack of any of the usual irritations of diesel engines – noise, vibration and pollution.

New clean technology gives the Bentayga Diesel the lowest CO2 emissions of any Bentley, as well as a range of over 1,000 km – allowing owners to, for example, drive from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth, on a single tank.

Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Crewe, the Bentayga Diesel’s styling is pure Bentley. Sculpted with an elegant, timeless execution, it perfectly balances athleticism with confidence. Inside, the detailing in metal, wood and leather represents the epitome of modern British luxury, along with a number of unique styling additions, including a new Liquid Amber veneer introduced with the Bentayga Diesel.

An all-new chassis system allows the Bentayga to take ride comfort to new heights, with dedicated off-road modes for snow, sand, grass and trails. A pioneering 48V active anti-roll control system virtually eliminates body roll on the road, meaning the Bentayga is as suited to a spirited drive along a mountain pass as it is to any off-road environment.
