The Bentley Bentayga EWB is one of the most luxurious crossovers on the market, but it’s moving even further upscale with the introduction of an all-new Mulliner variant.
Described as the pinnacle of the Bentayga family, the Bentayga EWB Mulliner goes long on luxury and features an assortment of “bespoke enhancements.”
The unique touches are easy to overlook, but the crossover is distinguished by a double diamond grille and chrome mesh lower inserts. They’re joined by Mulliner wing vents, two-tone mirrors, and exclusive 22-inch wheels with self-leveling center caps.
Customers looking for something less flashy can opt for the Mulliner Blackline Specification, which “applies a gloss black treatment to all exterior chromework and mirror caps,” excluding the Bentley badges. To complete the look, the model rides on 22-inch gloss black wheels.

While the exterior upgrades are worth mentioning, the interior is the star of the show and it features a 4 or 4+1 seating configuration with fancy Airline Seats. They offer 22-way power adjustment as well as an automatic climate control system that turns on heating, ventilation, or both simultaneously to keep you comfortable.
The seats also have a postural adjustment function, additional lumbar massage pockets, and six independent pressure zones that can provide 177 adjustments. Furthermore, in Relax mode, the seats recline nearly 40 degrees while a leather-trimmed footrest deploys from the back of the front seats.
The Bentayga EWB Mulliner features a tri-tone split with a main hide, a secondary hide, and an accent hide. The design team has curated eight different color combinations, but customers can choose any three colors through the Mulliner Bespoke Interior service. If they go that route, buyers will find “nearly 4,000 tri-tone interior color combinations.”
Elsewhere, there’s Grand Black trim and a special passenger side accent with a Bentayga silhouette as well as Mulliner lettering in a silver overlay. They’re joined by Bentley B’s on the doors, illuminated treadplates, and deep-pile floor mats.
Other highlights include a three-dimensional diamond milled finish on the center console, Mulliner chrome patterning on the rear picnic trays, a special Mulliner clock, and Bentley Diamond Illumination. The latter consists of tiny, color adjustable LEDs on the doors that emit light through small perforations in the leather. Buyers will also receive a “Mulliner presentation key box and key pouches matched to their Bentayga’s chosen three-color combination.”
While the Bentayga EWB Mulliner appeals to the chauffeur-driven crowd, it features a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 pumping out 542 hp (404 kW / 550 PS) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. This enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). The crossover also has an air suspension and rear wheel steering, which drastically improves low speed maneuverability.
