The Bentley Bentayga EWB is one of the most luxurious crossovers on the market, but it’s moving even further upscale with the introduction of an all-new Mulliner variant. Described as the pinnacle of the Bentayga family, the Bentayga EWB Mulliner goes long on luxury and features an assortment of “bespoke enhancements.” The unique touches are easy to overlook, but the crossover is distinguished by a double diamond grille and chrome mesh lower inserts. They’re joined by Mulliner wing vents, two-tone mirrors, and exclusive 22-inch wheels with self-leveling center caps.
Customers looking for something less
flashy can opt for the Mulliner Blackline Specification, which “applies a gloss
black treatment to all exterior chromework and mirror caps,” excluding the Bentley
badges. To complete the look, the model rides on 22-inch gloss black wheels.
While the exterior upgrades are worth mentioning,
the interior is the star of the show and it features a 4 or 4+1 seating
configuration with fancy Airline Seats. They offer 22-way power adjustment as
well as an automatic climate control system that turns on heating, ventilation,
or both simultaneously to keep you comfortable. The seats also have a postural
adjustment function, additional lumbar massage pockets, and six independent
pressure zones that can provide 177 adjustments. Furthermore, in Relax mode,
the seats recline nearly 40 degrees while a leather-trimmed footrest deploys
from the back of the front seats.
The Bentayga EWB Mulliner features a
tri-tone split with a main hide, a secondary hide, and an accent hide. The
design team has curated eight different color combinations, but customers can
choose any three colors through the Mulliner Bespoke Interior service. If they
go that route, buyers will find “nearly 4,000 tri-tone interior color
combinations.” Elsewhere, there’s Grand Black trim and a special passenger side
accent with a Bentayga silhouette as well as Mulliner lettering in a silver
overlay. They’re joined by Bentley B’s on the doors, illuminated treadplates,
and deep-pile floor mats.
Other highlights include a
three-dimensional diamond milled finish on the center console, Mulliner chrome
patterning on the rear picnic trays, a special Mulliner clock, and Bentley
Diamond Illumination. The latter consists of tiny, color adjustable LEDs on the
doors that emit light through small perforations in the leather. Buyers will
also receive a “Mulliner presentation key box and key pouches matched to their
Bentayga’s chosen three-color combination.”
While the Bentayga EWB Mulliner appeals to
the chauffeur-driven crowd, it features a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 pumping out
542 hp and 770 Nm of torque. This enables the
model to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 4.5 seconds, before hitting a
top speed of 290 km/h. The crossover also has an air suspension and
rear wheel steering, which drastically improves low speed maneuverability.
