Engine Displacement: 3,996 cc (V8)
The 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 is the most popular choice for Indian buyers. It features cylinder deactivation technology, which can shut down four cylinders during light-throttle cruising—like on the Yamuna Expressway—to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing the V8's signature roar when you accelerate.
Max Power: 550 PS (V8) / 650 PS (Speed)
The standard V8 produces 550 PS, but the Bentayga Speed (powered by a tuned V8 for the 2026 model year) pushes this to a massive 650 PS. This allows the SUV to hit 100 km/h in just 3.6 to 4.5 seconds depending on the variant, rivaling many dedicated sports cars.
