The 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB

The 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB is a luxurious, grand touring car equipped with many tech features, rich leather, good metal accents, and glitzy wood trim, creating a luxury experience throughout the cabin.

The Bentley also allows customers to customize just about anything in the vehicle. This model targets moneybag shoppers who would rather hire a driver than drive.

The Features of the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB

The most notable mechanical change from the regular Bentley is the presence of rear-wheel steering, whose work is to shorten the wheelbase effectively when maneuvering. It is a first for Bentayga.

It still has all the dynamic modes from the regular Bentley, which makes the driving experience more pleasurable.

Driving in sport mode permits the Bentayga EWB to move at a serious pace despite its grand proportions.

 It does this by firming up the active antiroll system and the dampers. Because of its length, the rear door is large, and Bentley has incorporated a center console for easy power closing.

Position and climate adjustability are comprehensive, which increases the vehicle’s comfort. It also features a new diamond illumination for Bentley, creating an ambient lighting arrangement that radiates light via carefully hand-stitched leather panels.

The standard Infotainment system comes with a 10.9-inch touchscreen and a 12-speaker stereo. However, there are options for two 10.2-inch infotainment screens fixed to the front seats’ headrests and a Naim 20-speaker premium audio set-up.

The display screen also features Android Auto integration and Apple CarPlay with a navigation map according to the city’s layout.

Engine and Performance

Bentley offers a wide range of powertrains for the Bentayga. The 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB uses standard power from a 4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine, just like the regular-sized Bentley.

It can also decide to use a twin-turbo W-12 engine or a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is necessary whenever the gas price skyrockets. These are for other trim levels.

This vehicle can deliver the same 568 pound-feet of torque and 542 hp. You can get a 443-hp hybrid configuration with an electric motor and a 3-liter turbocharged V6 engine on the lower end.

Regardless of their trim levels, all the Bentaygas come standard with all-wheel or four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The only difference between their engines is that Bentley engineered the Bentayga EWB to produce softer exhaust notes, which fit better for deliberately quiet limo duties. Although the eight-cylinder burble is still available, it only makes some noise when the gas pedal reaches a high speed.

The Bentley EWB, being less than 220 pounds in weight, moves quickly, claiming 0–60 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds.

The Exterior Styling of the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB

The 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB is a four-door wagon that comes standard with a warranty of three years and has no mileage expiration.

Its wheelbase is 125 inches, resulting from an extension of 7.1 inches between the wheels. This also increases the vehicle’s overall length to a fairly large 208.9 inches. The wheels are 21 inches.

Bentley’s vehicle is quite taller than lower limousines; hence, it has a higher center of gravity. This makes the impact from even gentle cornering forces stronger.

Standard features aid performance and outward visibility, like the available adaptive cruise control and night vision system. There is also the standard automated braking during emergencies that comes with pedestrian detection too. Lane departure warnings and lane keeping assist are also made available.

It also has a panoramic sunroof. The adaptive Led headlight swings as you swivel the steering wheel for better illumination when going through curves.

The Interior Design of the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB

Although it is quite impressive that the steering wheels are made of leather and wood, the rear seats take all the spotlight. Because of the elongation done on the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB, the rear seats have enough legroom for occupants. Bentley had also added a new option of ultra-adjustable “Airline seats.”

This airline seat can be reclined to up to 40 degrees, and when the relax mode is selected, the front passenger seat moves upright and as far forward as possible, unfolding a motorized footrest as it does this.

Although some seats can be ventilated and many of them can be heated, these functions are controlled by the airline seats. It carefully monitors the humidity and temperature of the body resting on it and micro-adjusts the thermal inputs to ensure maximum comfort.

There is also a programmable range of posture-correcting orthopedic and massage programs, an option of a full-length center console, and a middle seat choice, all added to the rear seat.

Because the rear seats are inclined rather too backward, the walnut table configured into the back of the front seat is too far away for passengers to reach, although it makes a nice tablet stand.

There are options for various colors of leather upholstery, a bottle cooler for the rear seat occupants, adjustable ambient interior lighting, and a safe with a fingerprint reader and biometric lock.

The Price of the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB

The 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB is offered for a premium price of about $266,225. Adding optional upgrades suitable for the vehicle’s overall comfort takes the total cost above the $300,000 mark.

The price of the Airline seats alone costs about $11,195, which is a decent value based on the standard of Bentley options and is worth it. Most driver-assist features also add to the extra cost.

The first maintenance visit is free, and the complimentary rest maintenance is scheduled every 10,000 miles or a year. Both the limited and powertrain warranties cover three years and unlimited miles.
