Bentley Timbers officially launched

Bentley has officially announced the launch of its first SUV model, the Timex, and at the same time, the official price of the car has also been officially announced. As its first SUV model, Bentley has given us the true definition of an ultra-luxury SUV model.

Bentley Timbers - a true luxury SUV

Bentayga is named after the mountain called "Roque Bentayga" in Gran Canaria, Spain, and is also a combination of the Taiga, the largest forest belt in the northern hemisphere, and the Bentley brand (Bently).

The Bentley Timex follows most of the design concepts of the EXP 9 F concept car, with four distinctive suspended full LED headlights on the front and a chrome mesh shape on the center grille, both sides of the front bumper, and the center grille.

At the rear, the new car's rear end creates a very heavy and full feeling, although the rear line is not complex, whether it is the central line or the simple design above the rear bumper. Both sides of the "B" rear taillight structure design, also indicate the future of the Bentley family-style design concept. In addition, the new exhaust pipe at the bottom of the car uses a bilateral two-out flat shape.

The interior design of the Bentley Timbers has a strong Bentley style, the new car is equipped with a new style of the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, the overall texture is good, and the central console suspended LCD screen design, above the round air vents are Bentley's unique "bull's eye" air vents design. In addition, the new car also adopts a four-seat design, the trunk is equipped with a very unique "movable seat", the user can flexibly adjust the trunk with some small designs, the most convenient.

In terms of configuration, the Timothy is equipped with a choice of four driving modes, plus four additional off-road modes for consumers to switch between at any time, with the four driving modes being Comfort, Sport, Custom, and Bentley Standard, and the four off-road modes being Rough Mud, Sand, Dirt and Wet Grass.

In addition, the interior of the Bentley Timbers is also equipped with front and rear seat touchscreens, a 10.2-inch entertainment tablet, a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, an Apple CarPlay system, Naim audio system, seat massage, seat ventilation, a HUD head-up display system, high beam assist, blind spot alert, ACC adaptive cruise control, and car refrigerator. The BREITLING tourbillon watch in the center of the air vents on the top of the center console also raises the luxury level of the car's interior to another level.

In addition, Bentley Timbers are also available with "Leisure Package", "All Terrain Package", "Style Package", and "Luggage Management Package "The "Leisure Package" features the innovative design of the patented sliding folding "Leisure Seat" The "All-Terrain Package" adds four off-road driving modes - mud and trails, sand, dirt and gravel, and snow and grass - and more off-road exterior components. The "Style Package" adds a carbon fiber aerodynamic front wing, side skirts, rear spoiler, and mirror housings.

In terms of space performance, the 1.82-meter tall experience can have one fist of head space in the front row, the maximum leg space in the rear row is two fists, the minimum space is one fist, and the headspace is one fist, the space performance is not ample.

The powertrain is powered by a 6.0L W12 twin-turbo engine with a maximum output of 608hp/6000rpm (447kW) and peak torque of 900Nm/1250-4500rpm. the transmission is matched to the engine with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Officially, the vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time is 4.1 seconds, and the top speed can reach 301km/h.

Why are ultra-luxury brands making SUV s?

Speaking of which, Bentley is not the only manufacturer to launch SUV s in ultra-luxury brands, the Rolls-Royce SUV, Lamborghini Urus production version, and Maserati Levante, more and more ultra-luxury brands have been put into the arms of the SUV market. Perhaps it is because of the explosion of the SUV market that these ultra-luxury brands have to go to compromise for the sake of the market; and perhaps out of consideration for consumers, the ultra-luxury SUV market is a blank, these brands launched SUV models are also to meet the needs of consumers and the launch of these models.

Whatever the reason, is this segment of the market what consumers care about and demand? From the current attention of Bentley Timothy, the answer is yes, so I believe that consumer demand is one of the main reasons why ultra-luxury brands are making SUV s.

The competition is still in the "belly"

As a competitor of Bentley Timex, the Rolls-Royce SUV - Tianxi is still in the engineering vehicle testing stage. According to Giles Taylor, Rolls-Royce's design director, this SUV will continue to adopt the carriage-style door design, and the new car will still maintain the usual scarcity of other Rolls-Royce products, and the annual production will be controlled at 4,000 units. Obviously, for the ultra-luxury SUV class, each model will have its special value as well as significance. Therefore, in fact, from the consumers' point of view, these models are not in any direct competition, and the choice between them is more inclined to the brand significance and the characteristics of the models.

Full Summary.

The exterior of the Timex gives us more surprises, and the design of the interior also explains Bentley's understanding of the concept of ultra-luxury, however, this is not the end, Bentley has also given the Timex a more powerful heart, so this car not only takes into account the luxury but also in the performance of such outstanding performance. Behind the near-perfect product performance, we see the vacancy in the ultra-luxury SUV market, although we also mentioned that more ultra-luxury brands will launch SUV models in the future, I believe that in this level of the market, there is no direct competition, brand tone, model positioning for these ultra-luxury brands have enough space for segmentation. Therefore, the tycoons only need to consider at this point whether you need an all-terrain ultra-luxury SUV in your garage. The Queen of England has become the first owner of the Timbers, and you can do the same.
