Overall Rating
Bentley was the first automaker that opened up a new level of uber-luxury SUVs with correspondingly compelling hunger for performance. The final addition to the range was Bentayga Speed, which Bentley claims to be the world's fastest SUV. With the updated model, Bentley continues to innovate and explore the possibilities which arise where ultimate luxury meets thrilling performance.
The 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 begins the second generation for the SUV and is available in two trims - V8 and First Edition, prices at an MSRP of $177,000. For this, you get a refreshed exterior design inline with the Bentleys current styling cues, refreshed interior, new technologies as well, and two new paint options - Viridian (dark green) and Patina (off-white). Like its name suggests it is powered by a 4.0L turbocharged V8 which makes 542 hp and will do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds.Â
The Bentley Bentayga comes with two additional models - a W12 powered Bentayga Speed and a Bentayga Hybrid offering better mpg figures. That said, the Bentley Bentayga comes into direct competition with the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Aston Martin DBX, and the Lamborghini Urus.Â
Bentley Bentayga is offered in two engine options, the V8 and the W12 and the Hybrid and Speed models will not be available until later in the year. With the difference in power figures, one can see a greater gap between the pricing of both options, we recommend the V8 model, Apart from Bentley's powerful turbocharged engine, it packs features including heated front seats with power adjustment, a top-rated infotainment system, with massive power, luxurious interior and all safety features that a Luxury SUV can have at this price point. The Bentayga V8 model is an eight-cylinder model and has some cool features in it, such as the adaptive suspension, the rear-seat entertainment system, and the 20-speaker Naim stereo.

In comparison, the Roll-Royce Cullinan is 9-inches longer and 6.3 inches wider and 4-inches taller than the Bentley Bentayga. The Lamborghini Urus has similar dimensions, but the Aston Martin DBX is shorter in length and height, but wider and longer in the wheelbase.
The 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 has not yet been crash-tested by the NHTSA, nor the IIHS. That said the Bentley Bentayga shares its platform with the Audi Q7, which already has a good IIHS score when it comes to safety ratings.
The Bentley Bentayga comes with many safety and driver-assist features like a tire pressure warning system, park assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. back up camera and more. There is also the Touring Specification which adds adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, night vision, and traffic assist, which you would expect to come standard in an SUV priced at an MSRP of $177,000.
Bentley Bentayga offers more luxury inside the cabin; it is superbly designed and has the best-built quality with good performance. Bentayga is heavier than Urus, and still, it gives you better fuel efficiency than Urus. Both SUVs have the same engine though the Lamborghini Urus offers the best performance in all the luxury SUV segment and also has a sportier feel to it. Unless you desire more performance, the Bentley is the better option.
Both the Bentley Bentayga and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan offer the best-in-class interior and all sorts of luxury features and both are big and heavy. The Bentley Bentayga is relatively cheaper than Rolls Royce Cullinan and can do 0-60 mph in less time than Cullinan and provides better MPG figures. Cullinan is heavier than Bentayga, yet it gives better power delivery, but it lacks in fuel efficiency. The Cullinan costs twice as much as the Bentley Bentayga, hence we pick the Bentley.
2021 Bentley Bentayga vs 2021 Aston Martin DBX
The 2021 Aston Martin DBX is the closest when it comes to being the competition of the Bentley Bentayga, they both make the same power, cost nearly the same however, the DBX does offer lesser mpg, but offers more cargo space, and comes with better performance. But with the added practicality and perfroamcne, we do say the DBX is the better option out of the two.
The 2021 Bentley Bentayga a luxurious feature-rich SUV that has been redesigned for the coming years and offers a good engine, one of the best interiors in the industry and offers better fuel economy figures than its competition. As a bonus, its $177,000 price is lesser than its competition as well.
