All details about the new model are still kept secret. The diesel version of the crossover will be presented earlier. According to unofficial information, the engine will be equipped with an electric turbocharger. The same technology is used by the Audi Q7. The standard version of the Bentayga is equipped with a 6.0-liter gasoline twin-turbo W12 engine. The power of the unit is 608 hp and 900 Nm of torque. The engine works in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The car can accelerate to 100 km/h in 4 seconds. The maximum speed is 301 kilometers per hour. The average fuel consumption is 12.8 liters per 100 km.
In addition to hybrids, Bentley plans to develop its first-ever electric car. However, a final decision on this issue has not yet been made. If the project gets the green light, the model will become a competitor to the Tesla Model S. It is possible that the new model may be based on the Speed 6 concept. The premiere of Bentley's first electric car may take place in 2020.
