Bentley reveals super yacht inspired Bentayga EWB Azure Riviera Collection

Following the success of its Riviera Collection on a group of Bentley Continental GTCs in 2023, Bentley has revealed its return; this time on its on the Bentayga EWB (extended wheelbase). Taking inspiration from the world of yachting on the Med, the unveiling fittingly coincided with the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show.

The new Bentayga is the latest expression of luxury, comfort, and bespoke design and is finished in a striking Aegean Blue exterior, echoing the Mediterranean Sea. Sitting on 22-inch five-spoke polished wheels with black painted pockets, black elements such as the front apron and roof rail inserts have been switched for Aegean Blue to “highlight the vehicle’s refined silhouette” and mirror the “clean modern exterior design of modern luxury yachts.”

Inside, the Bentayga EWB Azure Riviera Collection offers interiors in Brunel secondary hide, Linen main hide, and Autumn accents. Luxury yacht decking style Pale Pinstripe Veneer modernises the model and its theme is cemented with Special Riviera Collection ‘knot’ embroidery on the headrests and "Azure" embroidery on the seat backs in Autumn accents. Additionally, there are Mulliner overmats in Brunel with Autumn micro-piping, loose cushions in Linen with Riviera embroidery, and bespoke Riviera treadplates.

New levels of comfort come in the form of Airline Seat Specification, offering 22 way adjustability and advanced climate sensing technology. Mood lighting, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, a heated steering wheel, power close rear doors and picnic tables with Brunel leather insert reaffirm its ultra luxury status.

It has been a busy period for Bentley in recent weeks, following the beginning of production on its fourth generation Continental GT and the recent unveiling of the new Flying Spur.
