Currently, seven of Bentley's 14 available models are hybrids, constituting about 50% of the company's electric vehicle range.
An upgraded variant of the Bentley Bentayga SUV with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain has been unveiled. The PHEV, known as the Bentayga Odyssean, will be limited to only 70 units. It draws influence from the EXP 100 GT concept and highlights Bentley's goal for sustainability and electrification. It appears that the British marque is different from other major EV manufacturers in several aspects.
Powertrain
The new limited-edition SUV employs the same hybrid drivetrain as the Flying Spur Odyssean, with a 100kW electric motor generator and a hybrid TFSI V6 petrol engine. This combination produces 456bhp and 700Nm of peak torque, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 5.3 seconds and attain a top speed of 254km/h. The electric powertrain and powerful 18 kWh battery pack enable it to travel 45 kilometres on a single charge.
Exterior
The Bentley Bentayga Odyssean Edition sports a classic SUV silhouette. It flaunts a chiselled grille, circular LED headlights with crystal LED DRLs, an air splitter, a broad air dam, and a muscular bonnet. Aside from roof rails, flared wheel arches, and 22-inch spoked alloy wheels, the SUV also features ORVMs on its sides. Quad exhaust tips are present as an option, and so are oval-shaped LED taillights.
Interior
The luxurious five-seat cabin of the limited-edition Bentayga Odyssean Edition has plush wool-tweed sustainable leather upholstery on the seats, door panels, and dual-tone dashboard, as well as open-pore Koa veneers with just three layers of lacquer cover. The SUV features a 10.9-inch touchscreen entertainment system, ventilated seats, automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, multiple airbags, and ambient lighting.
As part of its Beyond100 concept, which borrows heavily from the EXP 100 GT concept car, Bentley introduced the inaugural Odyssean Edition in 2021. Currently, seven of Bentley's 14 available models are hybrids, constituting about 50% of the company's electric vehicle range. The details regarding the pricing and availability of the Bentley Bentayga SUV have not been revealed yet.
