A sporty-looking S model joins the range for 2022 that incorporates many of the top-end Speed model's design cues but is powered by the 542-hp V-8 that serves as the Bentayga's base engine. A sport-tuned suspension, 22-inch wheels, and a sport exhaust system give the S model an edge over the base V-8 trim. Elsewhere in the lineup, a set of carbon fiber rims is a new standalone option through the Mulliner personalization program.
