The Bentayga as a Daily Grand Tourer: Why a Bentley SUV Earned Its Place in the Lineup
When the original Bentayga arrived in 2015, Bentley did something the brand had never done before. It built an SUV. For a company whose name had...

The all-new Bentley Bentayga Speed marks a bold evolution in the luxury SUV segment. With enhanced dynamics, a state-of-the-art supercharged V8 and a suite of advanced technical features, this flagship model pushes performance boundaries while preserving Bentley’s hallmark refinement.
A Performance-Tuned V8 Heart
At its core sits a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, now calibrated to deliver an astonishing 650 horsepower. This powerhouse rockets the Bentayga Speed from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 310 km/h—outpacing the previous W12 variants. Thanks to a broad torque band from 2,250 to 4,500 rpm, the SUV delivers smooth, continuous acceleration worthy of a grand tourer.
A Soundtrack to Match the Thrills
The Bentayga Speed isn’t just about straight-line speed—it also captivates the ear. A bespoke sports exhaust comes standard, offering a rich, engaging note. For drivers seeking an even more pronounced growl, the optional titanium Akrapovič exhaust system—with its four distinctive tailpipes—underscores the V8’s character.
A Chassis Reengineered for Agility
Beneath its sculpted body, the Bentayga Speed’s chassis has been overhauled for sharper handling. Sport mode is recalibrated to provide quicker steering response, 15 per cent firmer damping and increased grip. Brake-based torque vectoring enhances cornering precision, while the new ESC Dynamic mode—debuting on Bentayga—permits controlled drifts under acceleration and introduces genuine Launch Control. All-wheel steering further refines manoeuvrability: at low speeds, the rear wheels turn opposite the front to shrink the turning circle; at higher speeds, they align to boost stability.
Distinctive Sporty Styling
Visually, the Bentayga Speed asserts its purpose with 22-inch wheels (23-inch optional) and seven available brake-caliper colours. Dark-tinted headlamp lenses, grey-tinted rear lights and exterior accents in a dark finish reinforce its sporty stance. An exclusive black roof—offered in glossy or satin finish—caps the design with commanding presence.
An Interior That Champions Its Purpose
Step inside and the cabin echoes the SUV’s dynamic intent. Speed-exclusive diamond-quilted leather and a contrasting two-tone colour scheme define the seats, while tinted air vents, illuminated sill plates and a bespoke driver display highlight the model’s identity. Yet despite its sporting prowess, the Bentayga Speed remains supremely comfortable, true to Bentley’s grand touring heritage.
Power and Refinement, with No Compromise
The 2025 Bentley Bentayga Speed achieves a rare balance: extraordinary mechanical performance married to everyday luxury. Faster, more agile and more expressive than ever, it sets a new benchmark for high-end SUVs—whether you’re carving canyon roads or covering long distances in supreme comfort, it never sacrifices the elegance that defines Bentley.
