Bentley Bentayga V8 S

The Bentayga V8 S occupies an interesting position in the range — the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 delivers 542 bhp and 770 lb-ft of torque, which means 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and a 180 mph top speed in a car that also tows 3,500 kg. The 'S' designation over the standard V8 brings the S Colour Specification, Leather Specification S, and Bentayga Styling Specification, giving the exterior and cabin a more purposeful character without stepping up to the W12's complexity. This 2023 73-plate car has covered 13,091 miles — low for a three-year-old SUV of this type.

The optional extras list runs to 18 items and reflects a genuinely well-considered build. Highlights include the Naim for Bentley audio system, Carbon Fibre Fascia across the centre console and door waistlines, Diamond Quilting Specification, Front Seat Comfort Specification, and a heated acoustic IR front screen. The Touring Specification adds long-distance comfort features, while self-levelling Mulliner wheel badges and jewel fuel and oil filler caps speak to the attention paid to detail at the point of order.

Privacy glass to the rear, mood lighting, heated three-spoke single-tone hide-trimmed steering wheel, and sport pedals complete the specification. The car is finished in grey and presented in used condition, with CO2 emissions of 294 g/km reflecting the Euro 6 compliance of the twin-turbo V8.
