Mulliner cars also receive a storage box and pouches for the car’s keys, colour-matched to the buyer’s chosen specification.
Following the discontinuation of Bentley’s venerable W12 engine, the Bentayga EWB Mulliner can be had only with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8. This produces 542bhp and 568lb ft and so can propel the car from 0-60mph in 4.5sec.
A rear-wheel steering system is provided, tightening the EWB’s turning circle by 7% compared with the standard-wheelbase Bentayga.
Mulliner has become a crucial element of Bentley’s business: its return on sales rose to 20.9% last year, up from 13.7% in 2021.
The firm attributed this to clients choosing higher-specification models – such as the Mulliner and Speed variants – and higher uptake of options.
