Controversial styling aside, the Bentley Bentayga has always remained near the top of the tree when it comes to hyper-luxury SUVs. A beautifully built, opulent cabin, exceptional refinement and a choice of two thunderous engines - a V8 or a W12 - have given it real appeal in the sector. However, Bentley introduced an electrified Bentayga in 2019, in the form of a hybrid model. The hybrid uses a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine paired to an electric motor to give 443bhp, and promises an impressive 81mpg. But does the Audi-derived engine live up to the rest of the package? Steve Sutcliffe puts it to the test.
