The early reviews are in for the 2017 Bentley Bentayga and it is looking like the brand once again delivers the promised exquisiteness and power in the new luxury SUV.
Boasting an especially crafted 6-liter, 12-cylinder engine, the vehicle churns out an insane 600 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, which gets 0-60 miles per hour in just four seconds with the top speed at 187 mph.
As for the interior of the 2017 Bentley Bentayga, everything is handcrafted to perfection from the superb leather on the seats to the wood on the dashboard and even down to the dials and buttons.
Bentley kept it mind both design and function for the new Bentley Bentayga and so apart from the sleek finish and the whopping 15 color variants of the carpet, buyers will enjoy the 16-way adjustable rear seats and 22-way adjustable front seats of the SUV.
On the technology side, buyers get an eight-inch touchscreen interface for most of the controls and video screens on the backseats. An 18-speaker audio system is also installed.
In the name of safety, the 2017 Bentley Bentayga was fitted out with airbags for the driver and passenger as well as side curtains and thorax bags on the front and rear in addition to crash detection and mitigation systems.
As for the aluminum heavy exterior, it loans its design from the beautiful Continental GT, with slight changes in the form of a smaller engine hood and a larger grille.
As far as the driving go, the Los Angeles Times likened the 2017 Bentley Bentayga experience to "driving a library, or a very small gentleman's club — if the club could get up on its hind legs and roar like a lion while still maintaining its dignity."
AutoNews adds that the 2017 Bentley Bentayga delivered solid off-road driving, which is made better with the fact that it is a luxury car.
The 2017 Bentley Bentayga will be released mid-2017 with a starting price of $231,825
