2017 Bentley Model Year Preview and Updates

Tue, Jan 31 2017

Over the last decade Bentley has done an excellent job in projecting a more sporting presence without in any way jeopardizing its luxury credibility. That luxury cred is again on the line with the launch of Bentley's new Bentayga SUV (pictured); its info is below.

BENTLEY BENTAYGA: The biggest news at Bentley – literally and figuratively Â– is the arrival of Bentley's first SUV, the difficult-to-pronounce but beautifully executed Bentayga. Described as a 'true Bentley', the Bentayga provides expected luxury in combination with unexpected off-road performance.

CONTINENTAL: More horsepower Â– up to 700 horsepower and 750 pound-feet of torque in the Supersports Â– is provided across the lineup, along with a new Black Edition available for both Coupe and Convertible.

FLYING SPUR: A new V8 S model offers enhanced performance and 'sporting' luxury when compared to the more pedestrian V8.

MULSANNE: Bentley's big four door receives significant styling revisions to the exterior, new and improved chassis technology and new on-board technology. The new Extended Wheelbase (EWB) adds almost 10-inches of additional rear seat legroom.
