Appearance

The exterior of the Bentley Bentayga Speed 2021 looks very bold and aggressive, which emphasizes the model's belonging to the class of fast SUVs. The new crossover uses unique bumpers, 22-inch wheels and a spoiler on the luggage compartment lid. Around the entire perimeter of the body are scattered many chrome inserts that improve the appearance of the novelty.

When reviewing the exterior shots, it is possible to see a number of stylish accents in stepped and undulating relief, an updated design of the headlights, as well as large air intakes. Bentley Bentayga Speed 2021 can be identified by the following features:

panoramic windshield configuration and stepped side relief with a tapered front section;
twin headlights;
massive rectangular grille.

From the front, the novelty looks elegant and at the same time menacing. For the front projection, the designers have provided a lot of space, because a powerful engine with large dimensions is installed in the engine compartment.

Since the model belongs to the class of crossovers, the "muzzle" has a fairly high landing. To improve visibility from the driver's seat, the developers had to increase the tilt of the front end.

On the hood, you can see an abundance of light relief with a wave-like texture. Also on the lid there is a brand nameplate with the name of the manufacturer. A massive air intake grille is installed under it. It has a light recessed body and chrome finish. The fine mesh under the body is also painted in chrome.

Head optics, which include several oval lenses with different sizes on the sides, also give an aggressive look to the front of the car. Already in the basic configuration, the optics of the Bentley Bentayga Speed 2021 have LED filling.

The front body kit looks especially original, for which a lot of space is allocated. The main body of the structure has a number of auxiliary air intakes that cool the motor and brakes. In addition to grilles with small cells and a different shape, on the body kit you can find a plate for a license plate and special sections for standard foglights.

In profile, the Bentley Bentayga Speed 2021 looks aggressive, yet retains its elegant and solid style. In the upper part there is a side glazing with a classic design for an auto concern. The glasses themselves are divided into sections by body pillars with glossy black paint. The entire perimeter is decorated with chrome inserts.

Glasses are supplied with triangular rear-view mirrors, complemented by turn signal repeaters. At a short distance from these elements, you can see the embossed inserts, decorative accents on the wheel arches at the front and voluminous sills.

The SUV has bulging sills and unusual titanium alloy wheels with a large dimension. The door handles are slightly recessed into the body and have an original frame.

The aft projection of the 2021 Bentley Bentayga Speed retains the traditional trend. She is decorated with:

massive spoiler with sturdy side struts;
competently combined glazing with an aerodynamic protrusion;
original tailgate doors, on which the manufacturer's branding is located;
advanced headlight configuration with silver trim.

The large bumper of the Bentley Bentayga Speed 2021 received a curly stamping under the number sign, rather long fog lamps and a small body kit on which a diffuser and 4 pipes of the exhaust system are installed.

Despite the global updates in the exterior, the designers of the "charged" Bentayga Speed 2021 decided not to abandon the corporate style, but at the same time they introduced many innovative developments. Therefore, the announced novelty appeared before the public in the most stylish, elegant and luxurious design.
