No, seriously, it’s just easier to refer to the Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase Mulliner as the Bentayga EWB Mulliner.

Bentley says that “the flagship Bentayga EWB Mulliner offers more cabin space than any comparable luxury competitor and its bespoke enhancements make every journey an occasion to be savoured, equally as special from the driver’s seat or the expansive rear cabin, providing the world’s most luxurious SUV so far.”

Let’s start under the hood. 550hp and 770Nm from the four-litre twin-turbo V8 sees the 0-100km/h sprint dispatched in just 4.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 290km/h. In Bentley’s world, luxury does not mean forsaking performance. However, Bentley says the V8 can also do luxury limousine comfort to let this Bentayga glide along effortlessly.

Exterior details that set this apart from other Bentayga include Mulliner’s distinctive “Double Diamond” front grille and chrome front lower grille, which are complemented by Mulliner wing vents, with two-tone mirror caps in Satin Silver and body colour.

Another detail is the exclusive Mulliner 22-inch wheels in polished or grey painted and polished finishes, with self-levelling wheel caps that remain upright as the wheels rotate.

For those who prefer a more sinister appearance, this Bentayga can be ordered from launch with Mulliner Blackline Specification, which applies a gloss back treatment to all exterior chromework and mirror caps, but excludes the Bentley badges. A gloss black 22” Mulliner wheel completes the darker look.

On the inside, a choice of eight three-colour combinations curated by the Mulliner Design team are available. The tri-tone split of main hide, secondary hide and accent colour hide is a Mulliner design signature and is only available for Bentley’s pinnacle models.

Customers can also specify their own Mulliner Bespoke Interior, using any three colours, producing nearly 4,000 tri-tone interior colour combinations.

Complementing the curated colour choices from earlier is Grand Black veneer trim which showcases the mirror-finish polished surface achieved by Bentley’s wood shop, with overlays of silver Mulliner lettering and the Bentayga silhouette to the passenger fascia, the Bentley ‘B’ on door waistrails and Mulliner chrome patterning on the rear picnic trays.

At the rear, the Bentayga EWB Mulliner is available in 4-seat or 4+1 seating, and no matter which is chosen, Bentley Airline Seat specification is available. Bentley says “This is the most advanced seat ever fitted to a car, with 22 ways of adjustment and world-firsts in a new auto climate sensing system and postural adjustment technology.”

In Relax mode, the seat can recline to nearly 40 degrees while the front passenger seat simultaneously moves forward while a footrest drops down from the front passenger seatback for that Business Class experience on roads and highways.

With the auto climate seat technology keeping the occupant nice and comfy and Postural Adjustment continuously but subtly changing the shape of the seat to ease pressure points, one can chillax without worry with one’s favourite glass of champagne.

Add to that other ‘bling-tastic’ additions like Bentley Diamond Illumination for the interior, Mulliner clock on the centre console, deep pile wool overmats and Wilton wool carpets, and carefully selected organic leather and one can stretch out in the lap of luxury at the back of the Bentayga EWB Mulliner.

While doing 290km/h, if Sir or Ma’am likes.

Picture this. You are a Bentley Bentayga owner, and you think, “Hmm, it sure would be nice to have a little more room in the back”. Well, we now have the solution for you. You can now buy the Bentley Bentayga with an extended wheelbase, extending the already long 5.14-metre car by an extra 18cm.

How much for the extra 18cm? This new Bentley Bentayga EWB will start at S$1,329,000, without COE and options.

The Bentayga is Bentley’s contender in the ultra-luxury SUV market. It was first launched in 2016 and was an avenue for the uber-rich to parade around with added height. Since then, the space has become more saturated with more models sprouting up. Think Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX, and the upcoming Ferrari Purosangue.

So where does this extra length end up? Well, it’s given to the rear passengers, with the extension made after the B-pillars. This gives the Bentley Bentayga EWB slightly longer rear doors over the standard variant. These doors are heavy, but thankfully you can close them automatically.

There are 5 seats in the cabin, though it’s more suited as a 4 seater, with two rear seats featuring individual 16-way reclining seats, dubbed airline seats. The middle rear seat folds down to provide access to cupholders and storage. Should you want standard seats, you could order the car in its original 5-seater specification or even a full 4-seater configuration which removes the centre jump seat altogether.

What you see here is actually the Azure spec variant of the Bentley Bentayga EWB, which allows for even more configuration options. “The Azure range provides Bentley customers with a curated selection of features designed to enhance the well-being and comfort of the vehicle’s occupants, making every journey a relaxing experience regardless of distance.

Azure is more than a specification; it includes tactile and visual cues designed to reduce stress and promote wellbeing, along with driver assistance technologies for smoother, safer journeys,” claims Bentley.

Under the hood, it’s the same formula. The Bentley Bentayga EWB houses a 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, with 550 bhp and a 770Nm of torque on hand at the push of a pedal.

All-wheel drive mated to an 8-speed transmission helps it rock the centurion sprint in just 4.6 seconds, an impressive feat for such a large SUV. Despite its length, you can still navigate around tight bends fairly easily thanks to electric four-wheel steering fitted as standard.

Sadly, due to Bentley’s Beyond 100 electrification plan, what you’re seeing here could be the last generation of ICE-powered Bentley. The Mulsanne is already axed in favour of the Bentayga.
