These seats have the peculiarity of being able to be controlled and configured by each passenger, in addition to being able to recline up to 40º and have the intelligent Seat Auto Climate , being able to measure the temperature on contact and humidity in order to adjust its different parts at the ideal temperature.
It will not be the only feature of these premium seats, they can also be hardened or softened at six pressure points with up to 177 different settings , thus improving the comfort of the occupants. To all this we must add the level of quality and characteristic finishes of Bentley, such as the upholstery of the door panels with perforations that have LED lighting to create a unique atmosphere.
On the outside of the Bentley Bentayga EWB we will also have changes apart from a longer wheelbase and larger rear doors, also the front grille is borrowed from the Flying Spur with a design in which the slats become vertical. It is also equipped with 19-inch wheels with a new 10-spoke design in a silver finish.
