It is equipped with Bentley Performance Active chassis, four-wheel steering system, Bentley Dynamic Ride suspension, active torque distribution system and electronically controlled limited slip differential. All this allows for better handling in aggressive driving, but also significantly improved comfort when cruising, and the driver can choose between Comfort, Bentley or Sport mode.

Bentley offers many different configurations, colors and shade combinations, 700 leather combinations, wood choices and much more. Passengers can now enjoy front seats with an integrated Active Bat Transducers system, Wellness Seating Specification for all four seats, which ensures passengers stay relaxed and refreshed.

There is also a Naim system with 19 speakers and a power of 2,200W, an air conditioning system with air ionizers, a particle filter and smart integration with the navigation system. Over-the-air upgrades will bring new features including a “green light prediction” system to help the driver navigate urban environments more easily.
