On January 4, 2021, Bentley announced the release of a new hybrid version of Bentayga. According to the company’s new electrification strategy, this is one of two new PHEV models that Bentley will launch this year.
Although launching a new model is indeed a good thing, the new hybrid version does not seem to have greatly improved in terms of electric vehicle technology. Like the previous model, the new car is still equipped with a 17.3 kWh battery and EPA pure electric mileage can reach 18 miles (about 29 kilometers).
Moreover, what is even more puzzling is that the pure electric battery life in the official press release uses NEDC operating conditions (50 kilometers), rather than the newer and more realistic WLTP operating conditions. The WLTP operating conditions of the previous model are 24.2 miles (about 39 kilometers).
The new model is equipped with a new infotainment system with a screen size of 10.9 inches. This screen has ultra-high resolution and “significantly improved” inter-connectivity. The company said: “The new exterior and interior design emphasizes the design DNA of all Bentley models, making Bentley the freshest and most modern brand among luxury car companies.”
The new version is an ultimate luxury electric car that can drive smoothly and quietly in the city, while also having the powerful travel ability to get away from the city and further explore. Owners can get rid of the hustle and bustle of the city in the exquisite, sound-proof cab without interference from engine noise, and utilize the pure electric cruising range (NEDC working condition) of up to 31 miles (about 50 kilometers). After leaving the city, you can comfortably use 536 miles (about 862 kilometers) of comprehensive range (NEDC operating conditions). “
The 2021 hybrid version of Bentayga has a pure electric battery life of 50 kilometers (NEDC operating conditions), a comprehensive range of 862 kilometers, a battery capacity of 17.3 kWh, and a total of 168 batteries. The maximum speed of the vehicle in pure electric mode is 135 km/h, with all-wheel drive, with a peak output of 330 kW and the maximum torque of 700 Nm. The 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine has an output power of 250 kW and the maximum torque is 450 Nm. The output power of the electric motor E-Drive is 94kW and the maximum torque is 350Nm. When using the 7.2 kW car charger, the vehicle uses AC power for 2.5 hours.
