The Bentley line-up will be joined by the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB), a model with "wellness" as its keyword. Based on the hugely popular Bentayga, this new Grand Touring SUV is positioned as Bentley's new ultra-luxury flagship, bringing the Bentayga series to a total of five models.
The Bentayga EWB is more than just a Bentayga with an extended wheelbase. Bentley has invested heavily in creating this new model, delivering a stunning rear cabin worthy of the successor to the Mulsanne, along with the effortless performance, exceptional craftsmanship and limitless personalisation expected of a Bentley.
When the Bentayga was launched in 2015, it pioneered the luxury SUV market and continues to lead the way. Seven years on, the Bentayga's capabilities are well-known, with its superior off-road capabilities, hybrid technology, impressive performance and extensive specification options. As Bentley's best-selling model, the Bentayga has set the benchmark for all subsequent luxury SUV competitors. The Bentayga EWB reaches new heights.
In 2021, Bentley's global sales reached 14,659 units, a 31% increase over its previous record of 2020, with the Bentayga accounting for just over one-third of those sales. Global growth in the luxury SUV market is predicted to continue until around 2030, but the E-segment is experiencing a decline. The Bentayga EWB, inheriting the spirit of the Mulsanne, raises the bar in the D-segment with its potential.
Design, technology, and performance are the three key purchasing factors for Bentley customers, with current owners placing the greatest importance on driving characteristics. Furthermore, recent research shows that 82% of owners use their luxury SUV daily, with 74% primarily for urban use. The Bentayga EWB further enhances the versatility of this class-leading SUV, ensuring satisfaction for both drivers and passengers in the back.
The Bentayga EWB is scheduled for launch in the second half of 2022 and is expected to account for up to 45% of sales of the Bentayga range. The Bentayga range will remain Bentley's number one model and is expected to maintain its leading position in the luxury SUV market.
