It is already quite a change for the super-luxury SUV whose price will now be even higher. Well, Bentayga was on its own league for some while with the price exceeding $500,000 with options. Now, with Aston Martin, Lamborghini, and especially Rolls-Royce SUVs in the market, the situation is causing changes on Bentley’s model. More rivals are coming. Ferrari Purosangue SUV is the most notable name among all speculations.

The 2021 Bentley Bentayga is presenting the new design language by the British carmaker. Definitely, the most notable changes are up front. The fascia comes with the fresh headlights and grille. Also, there is a new set of wheels. Elliptical headlights and taillights were not available on the previous model. This shape is being used even for the tailpipes. This is the first time the company is updating its flagship model. When it arrived in 2016, the SUV world was stunned with the presence of Bentley in this segment.
The exterior is not so special, since we can find some even more impressive solutions in the market. But, the interior of Bentley’s product is making a difference. It will be the same in 2021 with Bentayga. When you think about luxury, there is nothing beyond this one.

And that is just one of the many features.
For the 2021 Bentley Bentayga, we will see upgrades on the dashboard. A larger multimedia screen. Of course, features such as Apple CarPlay are standard. Designers revisited a center console with a new-look center wents and HUDs.
