2023 Bentley Bentayga Trims Comparison

Base, Azure and S trims come standard with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 paired to a plug-in hybrid system. The hybrid component is composed of a 100-kW electric motor and an 18-kWh battery pack. Total system output is 456 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.

Optional for these trims is a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (542 horsepower, 568 lb-ft). The Speed is exclusively fitted with a turbocharged 6.0-liter 12-cylinder (626 hp and 664 lb-ft). All engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

By default, the Bentayga comes in a five-seat configuration and starts with standard features that can be lavishly built upon. They include:

• 21-inch wheels with summer performance tires
• Adaptive air suspension with variable ride height
• Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
• Panoramic sunroof
• Full leather interior with synthetic suede headliner
• Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
• Four-zone automatic climate control
• 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen
• Navigation
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
• Wi-Fi hotspot
• 12-speaker audio system
• Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
• Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

Multiple stand-alone options allow for more precise configurations, including:

• Dynamic Ride suspension (uses electric motors in the suspension to minimize body roll) (V8 only)
• Sport exhaust (V8 only)
• Carbon-ceramic brakes (provides better resistance to brake fade during high-performance driving) (V8 only)
• Ambient cabin lighting
• Leather headliner
• Rear entertainment system (dual 10.1-inch displays)
• 20-speaker Naim audio system
• Lambswool floor mats
• 22-inch wheels
• All-season tires

Other options, which Bentley calls Specifications, are bundled into packages. Highlights include:

• Touring Specification
• Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
• Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if the driver doesn't respond in time)
• Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
• Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
• Night vision

Available for the Extended Wheelbase model, it adds:

• Auto temperature control (monitors and adjusts to body temperature)
• Heated rear seat armrests

The Azure trim adds 22-inch wheels, diamond-quilted leather door inserts, and the features of the Touring Specification and Front Seat Comfort Specification. Nominally considered the sporty Bentayga, the S presents a darker look with standard Blackline Specification and black exterior trim, a sport exhaust (V8 only), faux suede accents and Dynamic Ride Control. Finally, the Speed adds the 12-cylinder engine, 22-inch wheels, selectable drive modes, Dynamic Ride, All-Terrain Specification and diamond-quilted leather upholstery.

New for 2023 are two ultra-exclusive trim levels. The first is the Odyssean Edition, limited to just 70 units worldwide. Billed as "the most sustainable Bentayga," the Odyssean Edition starts with the plug-in hybrid V6 and offers unique tweed accents, treadplates, badges and tricolor upholstery. Other included items — like open-pore Koa veneers and the Front Seat Comfort Specification and Touring Specification packages — are standard here but available on other models.

The second is the Speed Edition 12, celebrating Bentley's iconic W12 engine before production ends in April 2024. It's slightly more accessible, with 120 units produced worldwide, and, naturally, builds off the Speed model. Special badging and doorsill plates, a numbered engine plaque, silver brake calipers and "12" embroidery on the seats are all unique features of this version. It's also the only Bentayga to offer the Opalite exterior color, a gray-green with copper undertones, and even comes with a 15% scale replica of the W12 engine block.
