2019 Bentley Bentayga V8

The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, a big, opulent five-seat luxury hauler that still handles like a proper grand tourer. It drives with the poise of a much smaller car, the air suspension soaking up bumps while the steering stays precise and direct. Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in old-world craftsmanship, with hand-stitched leather, real wood, and a rotating display that hides the touchscreen. The cargo area is generous for a luxury SUV, and the rear seats slide and recline, so four adults ride in real comfort. Heated leather seats and the rotating display set the Bentayga V8 apart from the entry-level model, while the W12 is the step up for those wanting more power. With 542 horsepower from the 4.0L V8, the V8 pulls hard from low revs, and the eight-speed automatic swaps gears seamlessly, so it feels swift even when you're just cruising.
