Bentley Bentayga [2016-2020] V8 Diesel

Specifications

• Engine & Transmission
  Fuel Type

  Diesel

  All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

  Transmission

  Automatic (TC)

  Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

  A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

• Exterior
  Sunroof / Moonroof

  -

  Ensure the sunroof is closed before exiting the vehicle to prevent dirt/rain from entering the cabin

  Roof-mounted Antenna

  -

  The compactness of the roof-mounted antenna prevents its damage in certain situations

  Body-coloured Bumpers

  -

  Having parking sensors will save your bumper paint if it brushes by obstacles

  • Chrome Finish Exhaust Pipe
    -
  Body Kit

  -

  Functional or purely aesthetic parts added to the car's body such as side skirts and roof/bonnet scoops

  Rub-strips

  -

  A strip of rubber fitted to the sides of the car's doors or bumpers to prevent dents and dings

  Opt for quality strips because the cheaper ones tend to come off too soon/look shabby.

• Braking & Traction
  Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

  Yes

  An electronic system that prevents the tyres from locking and skidding in emergency braking situations by pulsing the brakes (quickly releasing and reapplying the brakes)

  ABS is a great accident prevention technology, allowing drivers to steer while braking hard

  Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)

  -

  An electronic system that redirects braking forces among the four brakes to stop the car as quickly and stably as possible

  Brake Assist (BA)

  -

  A system that increases brake pressure to help the car stop quicker

  Even when emergency braking, it is observed that drivers don’t apply maximum brake pressure through the pedal, the BA system provides additional pressure to help stop the car quicker

  Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

  -

  System designed to improve car stability and control, especially when the car is accelerating.

  ESP or ESC cannot increase traction but rather improve control or help regain control in slippery conditions.

  Four-Wheel-Drive

  -

  A system that sends the car's power to all the four wheels at the same time

  Hill Hold Control

  -

  A feature that prevents the car from rolling backwards when stopped on a slope

  Traction Control System (TC/TCS)

  -

  This system cuts power to those wheels that are spinning without grip/traction

  Given the option, keep traction control on all the time.

  Ride Height Adjustment

  -

  A feature that allows the user to alter the ride height of the car

  Be it driving over tall obstacles or unloading heavy baggage from the boot; a helpful feature indeed

  Hill Descent Control

  -

  A feature that limits the car's speed without any driver input while traversing down descents

  Limited Slip Differential (LSD)

  -

  This function prevents wheelspin and maximises traction by shuffling torque between wheels

  It is also a nifty safety feature since it offers more control over a vehicle's power delivery

  Differential Lock

  -

  Locking differentials split power/torque evenly among both tyres on an axle.

  In off-road vehicles, locking differentials allows for better traction when one of the wheels is in the air, in FWD/AWD cars allows for better corner traction and in RWD sports cars allows for drifting around corners.

• Safety

  Rear Cross-traffic Assist

  -

  An assistance feature that alerts the driver who is backing out of a parking space if another vehicle is approaching

  One must always be cautious of pedestrians, children and other obstacles when backing up.

  Dashcam

  -

  A windscreen-mounted camera that records the frontal view. Its primary usage is to record and gather evidence in case of an accident. A dash cam can also be used to record incidents when the car is parked and the user is away. Certain models come with both front and rear view recording.

  • Airbags
    -
  Rear Middle Three Point seatbelt

  -

  Safer three-point seatbelts for passengers seated in the middle of the second row of seats.

  Budget cars are usually fitted with more economical lap belts for the middle-occupant.

  Rear Middle Head Rest

  -

  A digital gauge that provides the live status of the air pressure in every tyre of a car.

  For accurate readings, ensure that the sensors on the rim are not tampered with during any wheel/tyre repairs
