The British brand has revealed a list of improvements that the all-terrain vehicle will receive in the 2024 model year. The main improvements affected the short-wheelbase Bentayga S and Bentayga Azure: from now on they have a steered rear axle, previously available only on Bentayga EWB limousines. Also, for a regular crossover, they offered separate rear seats of special comfort with 177 settings options.
Another nuance concerns the Bentley heating and ventilation system: the system now analyzes map data, determines when the Bentayga is approaching a tunnel, and automatically switches to air recirculation mode 10 seconds before entering. 20 seconds after leaving the tunnel, the climate control system begins to operate as usual.
As expected, the updated range does not include the W12 engine, although such crossovers will still be produced in 2024: before April, Bentley will make the last copies of the “farewell” Speed Edition 12 series. Buyers can choose between a gasoline V8 (550 horsepower) and a hybrid powertrain installation based on V6 (449 horsepower).
Bentley does not list pricing for the 2024 Bentayga. Visual differences of the new crossovers come down to unique 21-inch wheels, an expanded palette of colors (now 122!) and optional floor mats made from recycled nylon.
