How much will it cost? $165,000+
Why we picked the Bentley Bentayga:
The Bentley Bentayga is one of the fastest, most expensive, and most powerful SUVs on the market. It stands out with an exquisitely-crafted interior, elegant Bentley styling, and a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine that pumps out 600 horsepower and an impressive 663 pound-feet of torque. Buyers who don’t need that much power can order a less expensive variant with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. And, alternatively, Bentley offers it as a gasoline-electric hybrid.
The Bentayga is manufactured using materials like aluminum in order to keep weight in check. The ultra-light body and the 600-horsepower 12 allow it to hit 60 mph from a stop in four seconds flat, which is about as fast as a Porsche 911, while the V8-powered model takes a few tenths of a second more.
Those who have cash to spare can personalize nearly every aspect of the Bentayga. It’s available with four, five, or seven seats, and the list of options includes a Breitling clock on the dashboard, picnic baskets with room for two bottles of champagne, and even a fly-fishing kit.
