BENTLEY ΒΕΝΤAYCA

Bentley Bentayga EWB - which stands for extended wheelbase but for a price that starts at Rs 5.87 crores (ex-showroom) - but does it stand for supreme luxury and a meticulously crafted machine to redefine the standards of grandeur and comfort?

Is it just about the extra 7 inches long, or is there something more added to its character? On one side, you have the Range Rover Autobiography at a three crore price point, and on the other side, you have the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Bentley Bentayga EWB has found a middle ground between the Rs 4- 8 crore mark of the super luxury club.

INTERIOR & EXTERIOR

The moment you step inside the Bentayga EWB, you’re enveloped in a world of refinement. Handcrafted materials, meticulous attention to detail, and a sense of space define the interior; the wood veneer adorning the cabin is a treat to the eyes.

Your chauffeur will enjoy the steering feel; in fact, even you would. But the screen at the centre console looks a tad small and disproportionate in the whole dashboard setting. I love the physical controls, and the easiest way to reduce or cut off the blower speed is by pushing & pulling it; wireless charging, storage as usual, business as usual.
