2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Review

The Bentayga SUV has been an unqualified success for Bentley, emerging as the automaker's best-selling vehicle. We love it too — after a significant refresh in 2021, the Bentayga rose to the No. 2 slot in our list of the best super luxury SUVs thanks to its exceptional comfort, blistering performance, and impeccable interior materials and design. The Bentayga doesn't really have many faults, though we will admit it doesn't have the enormously spacious interior that you'll find in the Flying Spur or the old Mulsanne.

Bentley is fixing that with the new Bentayga Extended Wheelbase. The Bentayga EWB adds over 7 inches between the wheels, giving the midsize crossover the vast amount of rear legroom that you'd expect of a Bentley. Unfortunately, the Bentayga EWB is only available with two rows of seating. In addition to feeling more like a Bentley, the long-wheelbase option helps the Bentayga better compete against its rivals like the extended-wheelbase Land Rover Range Rover as well as the Mercedes-Maybach GLS and its expansive second row of seating.

The Bentayga EWB really is just a stretched version of the regular Bentayga, sans a few things like optional powertrains or a third row. Features and options are generally the same, and Bentley offers the same level of customization you'll find on any of its other models. There are a seemingly endless number of paint, interior, wheel and trim combinations to choose from. Read more below on the Bentayga EWB, and note we review the standard-wheelbase model separately.
