2020 may have been the year that accelerated the movement, but that movement had already begun: luxury is going green in a sustainable way. Just like Bentley, which is continuing to electrify its range with the Bentayga Hybrid.<\/h4>\n

They may be \u2018comfort\u2019 models, but the big SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover are rightly singled out for their poor fuel consumption and high CO2<\/sub> emissions. All the more reason to equip them with engines that are as virtuous as possible, in other words, electric or hybrid (in anticipation of future hydrogen engines, advertised as the great green hope). In the Bentley family, the impressive Bentayga has been available since 2019 in a rechargeable hybrid version, simply named Hybrid. For 2021, the Bentayga has taken on the aesthetic restyling already adopted by the rest of the line, with more efficient batteries and an all-electric range that\u2019s been increased from 39 to 50 km (24 to 31 miles). This gain may seem anecdotal, but it now enables the Bentayga to cover the average daily commute of a car in the United States without consuming a single drop of petrol. And to do so with maximum silence (not to mention comfort) is no small feat!<\/p>\n
