The Bentayga received a major facelift in 2020 ahead of the 2021 model year. The optional W12 version of the updated Bentley Bentayga has been discontinued.

Transmission and powertrains
The new twin-turbo W12 engine was introduced in the 2016 Bentley Bentayga. The earlier models of the Bentayga came with an older W12 engine option. The old engine was capable of bypassing 6 cylinders if needed. The engine can accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds and it has a top speed of 301 km-h.
The Bentayga uses a 48-volt electrical system to control its electrically controlled active anti-roll bar [EWAS], which aids the heavy SUV to reduce body roll.
There was a massive breakthrough when the V8 engine was introduced in 2018. The V8 is lower than its W12 variant. The V8 can accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and it has a top speed of 180 mph.
The Bentayga comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
