On the inside, a next generation infotainment system is integrated seamlessly into the handcrafted dashboard design and features a 10.9-inch display screen with edge-to-edge graphics.

Other features include navigation with satellite maps and online search. Wireless Apple CarPlay has been made standard for the first time alongside the existing Android Auto.
Rear seat occupants benefit from the introduction of a new, larger touchscreen remote control tablet. USB-C data ports and wireless phone charger have also now been made standard. Another significant update includes replacement of the standard Bentayga tachometer that displays engine speed with a dial showing when the car is operating in pure EV Drive.
