2022 Bentley Bentayga V8

A 2022 Bentayga V8 finished in Onyx Black Metallic over a Black specification interior, this example combines the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8's 542 bhp with an extensive list of factory options. The Mulliner Driving Specification pairs with Touring Specification and Front Seat Comfort Specification, while Bentley's Dynamic Ride System actively counters body roll through 48-volt electric anti-roll bars — a genuine differentiator over lesser luxury SUVs.

Ordered with the 22-inch five-spoke directional alloys in black, privacy glass and a duo-tone heated hide steering wheel, the specification leans towards a subtler, more sporting presentation than the typical chrome-laden Bentayga. With 46,021 miles recorded, it has been used as intended — the V8 remains the driver's pick of the Bentayga range, its 4.4-second 0-60 mph time and 180 mph top speed delivered with considerably more character than the W12 it now replaces at the top of the range.
