A decade after the Bentayga first entered the ultra-luxury SUV segment, Bentley is returning to the model’s geographic roots. The British automaker has announced the 2027 Bentayga Artenara Edition, a design-led variant inspired by Artenara, the highest village in Gran Canaria, which overlooks the Roque Bentayga peak that gave the SUV its name in 2015.
As described by Bentley, the Artenara Edition follows the colors and finishes of the Bentayga Atelier, adding further refinement and presence to the automaker’s two-row SUV.
As a “curated” model, the Artenara Edition bundles sought-after Mulliner features into a standard package, including the signature Mulliner double diamond grille. The move allows Bentley to offer a Bentayga in the range for buyers who prioritize the ultra-luxury experience but may not require a full custom commission.
Inspired by the Roque Bentayga peak
New Super Lux wheels
The centerpiece of the Artenara Edition is a new mountain-inspired design motif. For the first time, Bentley has integrated the rugged topography surrounding the village of Artenara into the cabin. The motif is laser-etched onto the passenger-side dashboard, with the longitude and latitude coordinates of the Roque Bentayga peak. This mountain pattern is repeated via laser-crafted perforations on the seats and door panels.
The Artenara Edition adopts what Bentley describes as a “clean and unembellished” presence, complete with body-color lower brightware on the bumpers and doors for a streamlined side profile. The optional Blackline Specification features dark exterior trim, including a gloss-black front skid panel and a gloss-black rear diffuser.
While 22-inch gray Mulliner wheels are standard, Bentley is also debuting a new 23-inch Super Lux wheel for the Artenara Edition. The Super Lux wheels will also be available for the Bentayga Azure and Mulliner EWB.

Simplified customization
Eight primary design themes
The Artenara Edition is available in eight primary exterior colors, each with its own complementary tri-color interior scheme. The eight exterior colors include:
- Beluga
- Granite
- Havana
- Verdant
- Sequin Blue
- Pale Brodgar
- Glacier White
- Dark Sapphire
Bentley has highlighted several flagship combinations to demonstrate the range of the new edition:
- The Classic Theme: A Verdant (green) exterior paired with a Saddle and Camel interior. This traditional British aesthetic is enlivened by Cumbrian Green accents and a Piano Cumbrian Green veneer fascia, balanced by a Fiddleback Eucalyptus center console.
- The Timeless Theme: A Pale Brodgar exterior matched with a Portland and Beluga interior split. This configuration utilizes Linen accents and a Piano Linen veneer to create a more classic Bentley look.
- The Sporting Theme: Sequin Blue exterior paired with the Blackline Specification. Inside, a palette of Linen and Beluga is contrasted by blue accents on the steering wheel, console, and embroidered headrests.
While these themes represent the design team’s ideal specifications, Bentley noted that the Artenara Edition remains a canvas for further personalization. Buyers can still opt for a fully bespoke experience alongside the Mulliner team if they so choose.

Pricing and warranty
My Bentley Connected Car service also expanding
The Bentayga Artenara Edition is available with Bentley’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in standard or extended wheelbase variations, or as a V6 hybrid in a standard wheelbase configuration.
While official pricing varies by market, the Artenara Edition is expected to command a premium, with estimates starting around $250,000.
Like its peers in the 2027 lineup, the Bentayga Artenara Edition includes a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty and Bentley’s fixed-price service plans for the first three years of ownership.
Meanwhile, the My Bentley Connected Car service is expanding to six new global markets, including Australia and South Africa. The connected services are a suite of app-based digital features that allow owners to remotely monitor and control their Bentley vehicle. Owners also have access to real-time traffic updates, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and emergency satellite services.
