Bentley has revealed a new flagship model for the Bentayga SUV with the Atelier Edition.

Its exterior includes new 22-inch alloy wheels with a bright machined finish, a chrome and satin vertical front radiator grille and a choice of six different exterior paint finishes.

Inside, the Atelier Edition features an animated welcome light sequence, as well as scuff plates that say ‘Handcrafted in Crewe, England’. The upholstery uses Harmony Diamond quilting and contrast stitching, plus there is painted veneer on the dashboard, piping and ‘Atelier Edition’ tags featured on the headrests, too.

In terms of engines, there is a choice of a petrol or hybrid variant. The former is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol unit that develops 541bhp and 770Nm of torque – while 0-60mph is dispatched in 4.3 seconds and the car will reach a top speed of 180mph.

The latter comes fitted with a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine mated to an electric motor to give 335bhp and 700Nm of torque. It takes the car from 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 158mph.

Also, the car comes with a variety of different options including self-levelling wheel badges, a ‘jewel’ filler cap and mood lighting.

Bentley has not revealed prices at this stage for the Bentayga Atelier Edition, but it’s expected to carry a premium over the standard car’s £170,000 price tag.
