Hong Kong gets first look at Bentley’s debut SUV the Bentayga – and it’s a beast

Zero to 100km/h in just 4.1 seconds, a top speed of 301km/h, a stately interior and built to handle any terrain imaginable, this imposing vehicle is worth the likely six-month wait

Bentley Motors has given its first glimpse of the Bentayga – the world’s largest, fastest and most luxurious SUV, with an equally superlative price tag of HK$4.25 million.

The unveiling ceremony, at The Repulse Bay, would have been dramatic enough without the accompanying rumbling thunder. The gargantuan, handcrafted vehicle is 5.14 metres long and, standing at a height of 1.74 metres, is Bentley’s tallest model.

The timing of the Bentayga may bode well for Bentley, despite uncertain economic conditions. Competitors in the ultra-luxury segment racing to the production line include SUVs by Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce.

Raymond Choi, Bentley’s head of operations for Hong Kong and Macau, says demand has been strong in greater China and globally for the Bentayga, which went into production in November. Hong Kong orders are now being fulfilled, he says, declining to reveal the number.
