New Bentley Bentayga Hybrid SUVs Add More Electric Car Action To Luxury Line-Up

Next in line is the Bentayga S Hybrid. Featuring a 3-liter TFSi V6 engine and an electric motor that can generate 100 kW of raw output, Bentley is promising acceleration figures of 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds. With a net output of 456 horsepower, the car can touch a peak speed of 158 miles per hour. Both the new Bentayga Hybrid models can deliver a zero-emission range of 27 miles in the EV mode courtesy of the 18.0 kWh battery inside.

Bentley claims that it has also reduced the damping stiffness by 15 percent when the car is cruising in Sport mode. And since nothing screams sporty more than engine noise, “sound enhancements” will add some artificial audible grunt. To go with its sporty appeal, Bentley is offering style elements such as dark tint headlamps, standout 22-inch wheels with a polished metal finish, split-oval black tailpipes, illuminated treadplates, and a driver digital console lifted from the Bentayga Speed.

Plus, the S Hybrid goes all in on the Blackline design philosophy, which means no more bright metalwork on the exterior. Interestingly, Bentley hasn’t announced the pricing details for the Bentayga S Hybrid or its Azure sibling, but it isn’t going to be easy on the wallet. If it comes as any consolation, Bentley claims that half of its fleet (7 out of 14 models) now consists of hybrid cars, and by 2025, the entire line-up will get hybrid options.
