When it comes to the upper-most echelons of luxury and prestige, only a choice few brands have what it takes to compete. In the ultra-luxury SUV class, the Bentley Bentayga is among even more exclusive company, rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and the Aston Martin DBX. The Bentayga line-up moves with effortless grace thanks to a pair of twin-turbo engines, a 542-horsepower V8 or a 626-hp W12, and there's a V6 plug-in hybrid option if you want to ease some of the guilt of all that conspicuous fuel consumption. It can be further customized as a 4-, 5-, or 7-seater, though the amount of tech on offer is always superb.
The 2022 Bentayga never wants for power, with even the base 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 developing 542 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. This allows for a quick 4.4-second sprint from 0-60 mph. But, if that still isn't spicy enough for you, then the 6.0L W12 in the Speed puts out 626 hp and 664 lb-ft, cutting 0.6 seconds off that time. The smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission helps to make the driving experience as engaging as possible while still being mostly effortless.
