    Bentley Axes Diesel Bentayga in Europe

    Due to other variants anticipated to give this model hard internal competition, Bentley has phased out the Bentayga Diesel with immediate effect in Europe. However, foreign markets such as South Africa will still get this ‘modest’ derivative.

    With a V8 petrol model already being sold alongside the more economical Diesel, the latter is now deemed unnecessary as there will be a plug-in hybrid model set to join the line up in 2019. Furthermore, diesel-powered vehicles are not as popular in Europe as they are in markets such as Russia and South Africa, hence the Bentayga Diesel will continue to be sold in these parts of the world.

    Although WLTP regulations have led to a number of large engines being phased out in the Volkswagen Group in Europe, Bentley denies news that axing out the Bentayga Diesel has anything to do with the increasing pressure of WLTP requirements. The brand suggests that with the European market being more welcoming to hybrid-powered vehicles, it makes sense to replace a diesel engine with a hybrid powertrain.

    Additionally, the British luxury carmaker says that there is currently no waiting list for the Bentayga Diesel and customers will therefore not be disappointed to hear that the model has been phased out.

    While its V8 diesel engine rated at 429 hp (320 kW) and justifying a 0-100 km/h time of around 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 270 km/h, the petrol-powered derivative offers more performance albeit with a noticeable difference in fuel consumption. However, with the addition of a plug-in hybrid model to the range, it does make sense to axe out the Diesel.

    • We have done countless launch control starts in countless cars but this has to be one of the biggest surprises so far. It's not the fastest we have tested but the way it gets 2.2 tons off the line is something to experience. Get the British brute on some grippy tarmac and you will be blown away!

0 to 100 km/h is claimed to be 3.6s and that claim is accurate!

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.
