Bentley Motors Korea officially launches the 2024 Bentley Bentayga, featuring advanced specifications and an expanded lineup, providing customers with more options.
The 2024 Bentayga embodies a level of luxury, advanced technology, and performance that has paved the way for the luxury SUV market, incorporating advanced features previously reserved for flagship models.
New models have been added to the lineup, including the elegant ‘Azure’, emphasizing a dynamic feel with the ‘S’ model, a ‘Base’ model focused on the essence of luxury SUVs, and the ‘S Black Edition’, which presents perfect charisma through contrasting black and accent colors.
The 2024 Bentayga introduces enhanced design details that elevate its aesthetic appeal. Firstly, all models will feature eight new exterior paint colors, allowing a selection of a total of 112 colors, including the jewel-like ‘Topaz Blue’, which harmonizes blue and green.
Distinctive design elements are tailored to amplify the unique character of each derivative model. The Bentayga Azure features a classic vertically slatted grille that adds grandeur, while the interior boasts top-quality wool carpets as standard for maximum luxury.
In addition to Bentley’s signature ‘Naim for Bentley’ flagship audio system, the option for the ‘Bang & Olufsen for Bentley’ audio system is also available, which offers high-quality sound and sleek design. This audio system features precise tuning capabilities and the ‘BeoSonic One-Touch Experience’ function for a variety of sensory audio experiences. The aluminum speaker grills, adorned with Bang & Olufsen’s signature Fibonacci pattern and LED illumination, add a unique atmosphere to the Bentayga’s interior.
The 2024 Bentayga has elevated driving performance and convenience through reinforced advanced features.
The ‘Electronically Controlled All-Wheel Steering’ system, which debuted in the Bentayga EWB, comes standard on the Azure, S, and S Black Edition models, while it is available as an option for the Base model. This system steers the rear wheels up to 4.8 degrees in the opposite direction at low speeds and in the same direction at high speeds, improving maneuverability and stability.
Additionally, the 2024 Bentayga includes the option for the ‘Automated Temperature Sensing System’ and ‘Posture Adjustment System,’ features first applied to the Bentayga EWB. The Automated Temperature Sensing System measures the cabin temperature and the humidity of the seat surface in real time, independently controlling air conditioning, heating, and heating/ventilation functions to provide the most comfortable environment for passengers. Passengers can adjust the desired temperature in six different levels according to their preferences.
The Posture Adjustment System continuously senses the pressure on seat surfaces, offering a total of 177 different posture variations over three hours to minimize stress and fatigue during long drives.
The newly implemented air conditioning control system compares indoor and outdoor air quality, automatically activating or deactivating the cabin air recirculation mode to ensure consistently clean air quality. In the absence of rear-seat passengers, the system automatically turns off air conditioning to minimize noise. Enhanced driving assistance features, including ‘Intelligent Park Assist’ and ‘3D Surround View,’ have also been added to improve driving convenience.
The 2024 Bentayga introduces a new ‘Base’ model, which focuses on the essence of luxury SUVs in addition to the existing Azure and S derivative models. The Bentayga Base is a model characterized by Bentley’s unique craftsmanship, perfectionism, and dynamic performance. It features newly designed 21-inch twin-spoke wheels, allowing customers to select luxury specifications meticulously chosen by Bentley.
Also new is the ‘Bentayga S Black Edition,’ which is based on the dynamically styled Bentayga S, featuring a black theme color complemented by seven accent colors (Mandarin, Signal Yellow, Klein Blue, Pillar Box Red, Ice, Hyper Green, and Beluga) that create a striking contrast for a distinctive road presence.
One of the standout features of the Bentayga S Black Edition is the ‘Bentley Wing’ emblem and lettering finished in Gloss Black, marking a historic first in Bentley’s 105-year history. Additionally, the D-pillar features a ‘Black Edition Badge’ that highlights its uniqueness.
All Bentayga S Black Edition vehicles come with the ‘Blackline Specification’, which applies black to exterior details, along with standard 22-inch black wheels and body kit. The body kit is accented with colored stripes, ensuring standout appeal. The accent colors also extend to the brake calipers, interior leather, and contrast stitching, enhancing the visual contrast with black.
Furthermore, Diamond quilted seats and a center fascia featuring ‘Carbon Fiber 3D Weaving Veneer’ add depth, while the ‘Dark Chrome Pack’ changes the interior metal elements to a darker hue, amplifying the charisma of black.
All Bentayga models are equipped with a powerful yet smooth 4.0L V8 twin-turbo gasoline engine, delivering a maximum output of 550 PS and peak torque of 78.5 kg-m with an 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 290 km/h. The world’s first commercial 48V electronic anti-roll control system, known as ‘Bentley Dynamic Ride,’ is standard on the Azure, S, and S Black Edition models.
The official sales prices for the 2024 Bentley Bentayga in Korea start from ▲ Bentayga Base 263.5 million KRW, ▲ Bentayga S 305.7 million KRW, ▲ Bentayga Azure 317.6 million KRW, and ▲ Bentayga S Black Edition 346.8 million KRW (all prices include VAT and may vary based on options).
