Bentley Bentayga Performance Overview

Bentley’s Bentayga performance profile spans 2017 to 2023 in our data, covering 12 verified tests from the first-generation SUV as it evolved from early twin-turbo gasoline V8 and W12 models to later plug-in-hybrid variants. Output across tested trims ranges from 456 to 626 hp, with both gasoline and plug-in-hybrid powertrains represented. The first benchmark in the timeline came with the 2017 Bentayga SUV at 3.5 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the early pace for the model line.

By 2020, the Bentayga Speed reset the ceiling with an all-time best 3.1-second 0-60 run and a 11.5-second quarter-mile at 120.7 mph, while other gasoline versions stayed close to the model’s average with results such as the 2018 V8 at 3.6 seconds and the 2023 S at 3.5 seconds. As the range broadened, electrified trims shifted the lower end of the spread: the 2023 Azure Hybrid recorded 4.5 seconds to 60 mph, the slowest figure in the sample, and the 2023 Azure EWB posted 4.3 seconds. Today, the first-generation Bentayga remains a broad-performance luxury SUV lineup, with the current-era benchmark still belonging to the 2020 Speed’s 3.1-second sprint.

How we verify Bentley Bentayga performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Bentley Bentayga trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
