2017 Bentley Bentayga
Luxury brand Bentley is preparing their first crossover. Although
concept for new SUV called Bentayga was presented before, it hasn’t reached
dealerships yet. However, it is about to change with 2017 Bentley Bentayga.
Frankfurt car show could host premiere of the vehicle which could be produced
in factories, and according to spy shots and prototype image, there are some
similarities with some models. However, after its first appearance in 2012,
this luxurious crossover is now being in the last phase of development and
these pics could be close to final version of the 2017 Bentayga.

Engine range wasn’t confirmed by Bentley. However, there are some
information telling that luxury crossover could borrow drivetrain from
Continental GT model. That could be V8 or W12 unit, which could get hybrid
version. Spokesman of the company announced it, but progress in this area is
absolutely unknown yet.
Experts say that V8 could fit better to electric motor.
If that’s true, 2017 Bentley Bentayga could go 30 miles by taking power from
batteries only. However, new vehicle is going to cause a lot of interest, even
if it use diesel variant. If this happen, we could see Audi’s drivetrain under
the hood of Bentayga. It is 4.2-l twin-turbo V8 powerplant which is capable to
deliver high values of torque and power.
