The new Bentley Bentayga Artenara Edition has joined the Crewe-based firm’s range in South Africa. Here’s what it costs, in either standard- or extended-wheelbase form…
- Bentayga Artenara Edition arrives in South Africa
- Both standard- and extended-wheelbase versions
- Key Mulliner options and curated colour schemes
Is the standard Bentayga not quite exclusive enough for you? Well, you’re in luck (if your pockets are deep enough, that is): Bentley has just added the new Bentayga Artenara Edition to its range in South Africa.
And, courtesy of some timely information from the ever-sharp folks over at duoporta.com, we now know how much this “curated” package costs. Yes, the Bentayga Artenara Edition starts at R5 259 000, while the extended-wheelbase (EWB) version kicks off at R5 808 000.
Some quick maths suggests the Artenara Edition package commands a premium of R617 000 in the case of the standard-wheelbase derivative (from R4 642 000) and R545 000 in the case of the EWB variant (from R5 263 000). As a reminder, the standard twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine sends 404 kW and 770 Nm to all 4 wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
So, what does that extra cash buy you? Well, the Crewe-based automaker says the new package – named after Artenara, which at 1 200 metres is the highest village in Gran Canaria, home of the Roque Bentayga peak after which the Bentayga was christened over a decade ago – celebrates “the pinnacle design features of the Bentayga”.
The package includes a Roque Bentayga mountain motif on the facia (complete with the location’s exact co-ordinates), in the welcome-lamp projection and as a pattern of laser-crafted perforations on the seats and doors. Bentley says several “key Mulliner options” are standard, from the 22-inch grey wheels (with 23-inch items optional) to the Mulliner double-diamond grille.
The Bentayga Artenara Edition is offered with the choice of 8 curated exterior colours in conjunction with what Bentley describes as “harmonising interiors” that feature a 3-colour split (an interior option previously exclusive to the Mulliner EWB derivative). In each case, the various exterior brightware elements – that is, the lower door, front bumper and rear bumper – are finished in body colour.
The Artenara Edition furthermore ships standard with Bentley’s “Bright Chrome” specification, though the “Blackline” specification (with its dark exterior trim, gloss-black front skid panel and gloss-black rear diffuser) is also offered as an option.
