PEAKY BLINDERS

Bentley Bentayga EWB - a luxurious blend of sophistication and power, we check out this super luxurious SUV

As I pondered the notion of the Bentley Bentayga EWB, the first mental image that materialized was a scene from the gripping TV series 'Peaky Blinders.' Imagining the streets of Birmingham in the 1880s, it became apparent that a Bentayga, especially one spec'd in sleek black, would seamlessly embody the essence of the lead character if he were navigating the roads of the modern era. The Bentley Bentayga EWB strikes a distinctive balance between menace and elegance, akin to a perfectly cast character making a cameo in the show. It exudes an aura of sophistication as if concealing a wild side beneath its refined exterior, a blend impeccably suited for the high street.

Bentley's venture into the luxury segment holds historical echoes. Casting our gaze back to the early 2000s reveals Bentley's bespoke creations, the Dominator SUVs, crafted for the Sultan of Brunei. A quick online search unveils the origins of the Bentayga, tracing its lineage to those customized SUVs. This historical connection adds a layer of richness to the Bentayga's story, highlighting Bentley's enduring legacy in delivering opulent and exclusive automotive experiences.

Although you are ready to spend a lot of money, you are at the high end of the market and want the feel of an SUV in addition to complete comfort. The Bentley Bentayga might then be able to provide you with all the information you need. The British automaker released the new extended wheelbase version of the SUV earlier this year, and we had the opportunity to drive the more feature-rich Azure variant, which has been available in India for some time.

Entering the Bentley Bentayga EWB, one immediately discerns the brand's penchant for distinctive elegance. The interior ambience radiates opulence, boldly diverging from the more restrained aesthetics often associated with German luxury cars.
