2018 Bentley Bentayga V8

2018 to 2023 · SUV

The Bentayga V8 represents Bentley's bold entry into the ultra-luxury SUV segment, combining Crewe craftsmanship with surprising athleticism. Its twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 delivers 542 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque, propelling this 5,300-pound behemoth to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. What sets it apart from the W12 variant is its more engaging character—the V8 sounds better, feels more agile, and offers superior fuel economy without sacrificing the opulent interior that defines modern Bentley. Hand-stitched leather, real wood veneers, and Naim audio create a cabin that rivals the finest sedans. While purists questioned Bentley's SUV venture, the Bentayga has proven commercially successful and surprisingly capable off-road. Early examples are beginning to depreciate from their $180,000+ MSRPs, making them increasingly attractive to collectors seeking a practical yet prestigious modern Bentley with genuine sporting credentials.
