The Bentayga was Bentley's first SUV and quickly became the company's best-selling model, translating Crewe's hand-stitched cabins and effortless W12 or V8 power into a form owners could use every day. Launched in 2017 with the 600-hp W12 and billed as the fastest SUV in the world, it gained the 542-hp V8 in 2019 and a comprehensive redesign for 2021. It defined the ultra-luxury SUV segment that Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and Ferrari later entered.
