Bentley Motors introduces the Bentayga Artenara Edition on 9 March. Named after the highest village in Gran Canaria—home to the iconic Roque Bentayga—the model stands as a celebration of the Bentayga’s pinnacle design features, while signalling a considered step forward in the marque’s evolving aesthetic language.

Available with either a V8 engine in both standard and extended wheelbase, or a V6 hybrid in standard wheelbase, the Artenara Edition builds upon the established appeal of the Bentayga Atelier, further elevating both craftsmanship and presence.

The result is a vehicle that commands attention in a quiet yet assured manner. The Artenara Edition refines the Bentayga through a series of subtle yet impactful interventions. The use of body-coloured lower brightware creates a cleaner, more contemporary side profile, allowing the vehicle’s proportions to read with greater clarity. This is complemented by a suite of Mulliner details, including the signature double diamond grille and 22-inch grey and polished wheels; elements that reinforce both its visual identity and performance-led character.

The geographical inspiration is intricately woven into the design. A Roque Bentayga motif appears etched across the fascia and re-emerges as a pattern of laser-crafted perforations on the seats and doors, as well as within the welcome lamp projection. Illuminated treadplates and exterior wing vents bearing the Artenara Edition typestyle complete a set of details that feel both considered and distinctive.

Buyers are offered a choice of eight curated exterior finishes, each paired with harmonising interiors featuring a tri-colour split; an option previously reserved for the Mulliner Extended Wheelbase. Each configuration presents a distinct atmosphere. For those drawn to timeless elegance, options range from Pale Brodgar—paired with a refined blend of Portland and Beluga with Linen accents—to the classic interplay of Verdant exterior with Saddle and Camel interiors. Meanwhile, for a more contemporary and sporting expression, combinations such as Sequin Blue with Blackline Specification introduce a sharper, more dynamic character.

Alongside the Artenara Edition, Bentley continues to expand the Bentayga range with new additions for the year, including the introduction of Dark Teal—a sophisticated metallic exterior colour—and the option of new 23-inch Super Lux wheels.

Beyond aesthetics and performance, Bentley is also extending its ecosystem. The Bentley Connected Car service is now available in several new markets, offering a suite of intelligent features designed to enhance both convenience and safety.
