BENTAYGA SPORT: THE COUPE VERSION ARRIVES IN 2019

The information on the possible coupe body version of the Bentley Bentayga is not something new. It was early in 2016 that began to emerge the first information on the possible Bentley Bentayga Coupe. At that time, several declarations and internal sources of the British mark itself confirmed that the development of this version was being considered in Crewe.After more than two years since then, the manufacturer finally dared to create the Bentayga Coupe, a good fact that coincides with the approval of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe. The Volkswagen Group's SUV family will continue to grow and incorporate all types of bodywork versions to meet the maximum demand that are generating the crossovers.A well-known German publication has highlighted that the release of the Bentley Bentayga coupe will see the light sometime next year 2019 and will be christened as Bentley Bentayga Sport. Due to the type of bodywork and the new line that will show your rear, it will stand out for its more sporty image. Certainly it will also present a more agile and dynamic behavior.Unfortunately, despite being a more sporty and exclusive alternative, the truth is that Bentley Bentayga Sport will lose some of the practicality of the base model. The space available for the head of the occupants of the rear seats will be reduced and a negative impact on the cargo volume of the trunk is also foreseeable. Recalling that the Bentayga currently on sale seats 431 liters.During these two years that the arrival of the Bentley Bentayga Sport was speculated, the line of the first SUV of the Bentley incorporated all type of news and versions. The latest to hit the market was the new Bentley Bentayga V8, whose main differentiating element is under its hood, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 550 hp and 770 Nm of maximum torque, coupled to an automatic transmission and a total traction.In the short term will also land on the dealers of the British brand the new Bentley Bentayga Hybrid. The plug-in hybrid version debuted just a few months ago at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show and means the starting shot for the electrification of the brand's offer. And last but not least, it is necessary to take into account the rumors that has been pointing to the possible arrival of an extreme higher performance version of Bentayga, which will crown the line. The future looks interesting for the Bentley SUV.
