From Buckingham Palace to Beverly Hills: The Story of Bentley’s Quickest SUV
It started in Crewe, England—a sleepy town where Bentley master craftsmen shape aluminum and leather into vehicles fit for royalty. But in 2025, something untamed came off the assembly line. No, it wasn’t another British elite limousine. It was the Bentley Bentayga Speed, and it was bound for the American dream—with 641 horses, a $245,000 price, and just enough flair to make a Lamborghini sweat.
Bentley’s Bentayga was already delivered when it came to luxury SUVs. But the 2025 Bentayga Speed? It tears the definition apart and rewrites it—cemented in carbon fiber, Alcantara, and turbocharged V8 power.
Interior and Features: A Five-Star Hotel, Supercharged
Step aboard, and you’ll swear you’re in the first-class cabin of a Gulfstream jet. Diamond-quilted leather seats, heated and ventilated massage chairs, real metal trimmings, and genuine wood veneers—not the “faux wood” you find in those so-called luxury brands.
Bentley’s 2025 infotainment system features a 10.9-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, a 1780-watt Naim audio system, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and voice-activated everything. There are also rear-seat entertainment screens—because heaven forbid your kids get bored while you’re doing 150 on the freeway to Vegas.
Design: Murderously Elegant
Aggressive yet graceful. Powerful yet posh. The 2025 Bentayga Speed looks like a billionaire’s stealth bomber.
Blackline Specification? Check. (The highlighted chrome is all blacked out.)
Dark-tinted matrix grille? Check.
23-inch wheels in a menacing, forged finish? Check.
Quad exhausts and rear diffuser? Yes, and yes.
You won’t turn heads—you’ll snap necks. Whether you’re parked on Rodeo Drive or valet-ing at the Wynn, this SUV appears as quick as it is.
Performance: 641 Horses in a Hand-Stitched Suit
Shut the door on the previous W12. The 2025 Bentayga Speed growls with a 4.0L twin-turbo V8—delivering 650 PS (641 hp) and 850 Nm of torque. And no, that’s not a typo.
0–60 mph: 3.6 seconds
Top Speed: 190 mph
Drivetrain: AWD with rear-biased torque vectoring
Transmission: 8-speed ZF automatic with seamless shifts
On a Malibu twisty road or a 5-lane section of I-95, this SUV behaves like a supercar masquerading as an SUV. The one thing more flamboyant than acceleration is your passenger’s expression.
Safety: A Fortress of Carbon, Cameras and Code
With speed like this, Bentley didn’t overlook the brakes—or your safety.
Adaptive Cruise with Stop & Go
Lane Keep Assist & Blind Spot Monitoring
Automatic Emergency Braking
Surround View Cameras
Night Vision Assist (yes, seriously)
There’s even pedestrian detection, for goodness’ sake. Heaven forbid someone attempts to take a selfie with your Bentley in mid-drive.
Features: From Sunset Strip to Snow-Capped Slopes
Think Bentleys don’t belong off-road? Think again.
The 2025 Speed model is not just a garage queen:
Drive Modes for Sand, Snow, Mud & Gravel
Adjustable Air Suspension (up to 9.8 inches of clearance)
3.5-ton Towing Capacity
Wading Depth: 500 mm (that’s close to 20 inches of water, y’all)
Take it to Aspen, Big Sur, or a weekend retreat near Lake Tahoe. The Bentayga Speed will haul your skis, your dogs, your kids, and your ego—with style and thunder.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
Luxury like this doesn’t come cheap—but it does come exclusive.
Starting Price: $245,000 USD

Availability: Currently available for orders nationwide in the U.S. via Bentley Beverly Hills, Manhattan, Miami, Dallas, and other high-end showrooms.

Overall Verdict: America’s Most Ridiculous Luxury SUV?
