This is the revised Bentley Bentayga Speed. The world’s fastest SUV has been given a makeover for 2020, which falls in line with the rest of the recently updated line-up.
Cosmetic changes on the outside objective to align the Bentayga’s styling much more closely with the rest of the Bentley range. At the front, that implies there’s a much more upright grille flanked by two pairs of swept back LED lighting units (each with intricate, jewel-like detailing), while the speed particular front bumper gets revised air intakes and an extra strip of brightwork along its lower edge.

Bentley’s 22-inch wheels remain standard, while around the back, the Bentayga Speed’s old square tail lamps have been ditched in favour of Continental GT-like ovoid units. These are matched by a pair of revised exhaust suggestions in the deep rear bumper.

The changes are equally comprehensive inside. The centre of the dash is all new; reshaped vents sit above a new infotainment system with a larger 10.9-inch touchscreen. The new system includes an improved navigation system with improved 3D mapping, real-time traffic information and over-the-air updates.
The improvements to in-car tech extend beyond the touchscreen, with a new digital driver’s display and a new head-up display that is much more comprehensive than before – both in terms of graphics and the information it offers.
Mechanically, the Bentayga speed is unchanged. Power is courtesy of a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 626bhp and 900Nm of torque. It’s enough to let the Bentayga cover the 0-62mph sprint in 3.9 seconds, and on to a top speed of 190mph.
Prices for the updated Bentayga speed are still to be confirmed, but the pre facelift model, released mid-2019, was priced from £182,000.
