The Bentley Bentayga<\/a>. We like it a lot. And now, there\u2019s even more reason to like it because Bentley has fitted its super-SUV with a more sensible engine.<\/p>\n

The original Bentayga, you\u2019ll recall, is powered by a 6.0-litre W12 monster developing 600 bhp. And while that makes for an excellent 0-100 km\/h time of 4.0 seconds, it does mean that you\u2019ll be spending an awful lot of time at fuel filling stations.<\/p>\n

In fact, by our calculation<\/a>, you\u2019d have to refill the W12 Bentayga\u2019s 85-litre fuel tank with Super 98 petrol every 350 km or so.<\/p>\n

Enter the Bentley Bentayga V8. Essentially, it\u2019s the same car as the original model, but instead of a big, thirsty W12 under the bonnet, it packs a more modest 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8.<\/p>\n

But just because the engine is smaller, don\u2019t go thinking that the Bentayga V8 will be a slouch. It develops a might 542 bhp and 770 Nm of torque. The 0-100 km\/h dash is taken care of in 4.5 seconds, and the top speed is 290 km\/h. So, basically, it still delivers all the speed you could possibly need from a 2.4-tonne SUV.<\/p>\n

And though bores us to say it, the V8\u2019s efficiency is where the magic really happens. Bentley claims 11.4 l\/100 km, compared to the W12\u2019s 25.3 l\/100 km. That means a range of 746 km. It achieves this through clever software that deactivates four of the eight cylinders when you don\u2019t need much power (for example, cruising down JBR Walk). And if you want to kick things up a notch, the other four cylinders come alive in 20 milliseconds, so you don\u2019t notice a thing.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, this is the same Bentayga we know and love. It comes with twin-quad exhaust pipes, optional ceramic brakes, an amazing suspension system capable of delivering driving thrills on the road, and go-anywhere ability off of it.<\/p>\n

Bentley hasn\u2019t told us how much the Bentayga V8 will cost, but we don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be that much cheaper than the W12. That model will just be reserved for those who want ultimate bragging rights, but for anyone who wants a super-SUV that\u2019s friendlier as a daily driver, we reckon the V8 is the one to go for.<\/p>\n
