Bentley Motors’s Bentayga has been named SUV of the Year by Robb Report UK.

A panel of automotive experts for the leading luxury title singled out the new Bentley Bentayga during the judging process for being “truly ground-breaking”. 

Erin Baker, Automotive Editor at Robb Report UK, commented: “The Bentayga creates a whole new segment: the ultra-luxury SUV. It far exceeds the nature of other luxury SUV’s in every respect. Where else in the world would you find such craftsmanship, other than the workshop in Crewe?"

With an all-new W12 powertrain, the Bentayga is the fastest, most powerful, most luxurious and most exclusive SUV in the world. It offers a true Bentley driving experience and showcases innovative technology features.

The development programme for Bentayga was the most extensive in Bentley’s history. This resulted in the creation of a completely new luxury SUV segment. In high demand since Bentley announced it would launch this all-new car, the Bentayga has attracted new customers to the brand right around the world.

Kevin Rose, Bentley Member of the Board for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, added: “The Bentayga is the Bentley of SUVs. It redefines luxury in the SUV sector and offers a genuine Bentley experience in any environment, thanks to a combination of unparalleled attention to detail, go-anywhere ability and cutting-edge technology.”

Bentley Motors is one of the most sought-after luxury car brands in the world. The company’s headquarters in Crewe is home to all of its operations including design, R&D, engineering and production of the company’s four model lines – Continental, Flying Spur, Bentayga and Mulsanne. 

The combination of fine craftsmanship, using skills that have been handed down through generations, alongside engineering expertise and cutting-edge technology is unique to UK luxury car brands such as Bentley. It is also an example of high-value British manufacturing at its best.
