Bentley introduced the Bentayga plug-in hybrid back in March 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show and now the luxobarge is getting a nip and tuck for 2021. To the surprise of no one, it\u2019s getting the same updates inside and out as the conventionally powered luxury SUV when the facelifted version premiered last June.<\/p>\n

The powertrain is carried over from the original Bentayga Hybrid, so it combines the same twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with an electric motor. It has a combined output of 443 horsepower and an ample 700 Newton-meters (516 pound-feet) of torque, while the battery pack soldiers on with an identical 17.3-kWh capacity.<\/p>\n

Curiously, Bentley is still using the outdated New European Driving Cycle figure when talking about the electric range of the 2021 Bentayga Hybrid. \u00a0Per NEDC, the high-end SUV can travel for 31 miles (50 kilometers) without sipping any fuel. A more accurate WLTP figure would significantly lower that number and bring it closer to reality, but we\u2019ll have to settle for the NEDC number for the time being.<\/p>\n
