Bentley Bentayga 2020

2020

The Bentley Bentayga Base 2020 belongs to the story of Bentley’s first SUV, created to combine a raised driving position, handcrafted luxury and grand touring character. In 2020, the Bentayga is part of the second generation, which progressively replaces the original family launched in 2015. The Base version is the entry-level trim of this updated generation, with no specific mechanical details provided here, but it keeps the same prestige SUV mission as the rest of the range. Its identity comes from the Bentley grille, imposing proportions and an interior designed with the atmosphere of a luxury saloon.

History

The Bentayga was created from Bentley’s desire to enter the SUV market without giving up the brand’s established codes of luxury and power. Revealed in 2015, it introduced a taller, more versatile body style to the Bentley range while retaining an interior finished with leather, wood trim and carefully crafted metal details. The original model used a 6.0-litre petrol W12, immediately putting the Bentayga among the fastest SUVs of its era.

The range then expanded through several derivatives. The Diesel arrived in 2016 as Bentley’s first diesel model. Mulliner followed in 2017, with a stronger focus on exclusivity and rear-seat comfort. In 2018, the petrol V8 offered a lighter and sportier alternative, while the Hybrid introduced Bentley’s first plug-in hybrid powertrain. The Speed, launched in 2019, pushed performance further with a 635 hp W12. In 2020, Bentley introduced a new generation that gradually replaced this first family.

Production

The Bentayga belongs to the first generation, produced from 2015 and then progressively replaced by a renewed model introduced in 2020. The Bentayga Base 2020 sits within this new phase, but the dossier provides no production figures, build-rate data or market split for this specific version.

Evolution

The Bentayga Base 2020 belongs to the model’s second generation, introduced in that year. The dossier notes that it received styling changes and new technology, especially at the rear, which sets it apart from the first generation sold from 2015 onward. For this Base version, no specific engine or equipment details are provided, so it should be understood as the entry trim of the updated range.

Compared with first-generation Bentaygas, the 2020 model should not be confused with the earlier W12, Diesel, Mulliner, V8, Hybrid or Speed versions. It still preserves the Bentayga formula: imposing SUV proportions, a luxury-oriented position in the range and the possibility of market- and option-dependent customization.

Variants

In the Bentayga’s first-era range, the main differences between versions came down to powertrain and positioning. The W12 is the historic choice and the one closest to the model’s grand touring character. The Diesel emphasizes torque and range. The petrol V8, introduced in 2018, is intended to be lighter and sportier, with a black-and-chrome grille and four exhaust outlets. The Hybrid combines a 3.0-litre petrol V6 with an electric motor. Mulliner adds comfort and customization, while the Speed adopts a more aggressive treatment with a 635 hp W12 and darkened exterior details.

For the Bentayga Base 2020, the dossier does not provide any specific identifying features tied to the entry trim. It therefore stands as the most restrained version of the updated Bentayga, without any more precise mechanical or styling claim that can be stated here.
