As far as design is concerned, the new Bentayga Speed SUV will sport a new-look bumper finished in black with a bold front splitter, an aggressive, winged spoiler atop the roof. It will also have quad tail pipes, rear diffuser among other design tweaks.
The interior of the Bentayga Speed is unlikely to be different from the Bentayga facelift SUV. It is likely to get the same new centre fascia and steering wheel, new door trims and all-new seats – now available with ventilation in the rear of the five-seat cabin option. The next generation infotainment system with 10.9-inch display is also likely to make way into Bentayga Speed SUV. The all-new digital display includes super high-resolution and dynamic graphics which are configurable to suit driver preferences.
The luxurious interior can be further enhanced with the application of dark tint diamond brushed aluminium trim for the first time in a Bentley, as well as two straight-grained veneers new to Bentayga: Koa and Crown Cut Walnut. Mulliner Driving Specification adds a new quilting design, and micro piping detailing is a new option for the seats.
