Bentley has released a string of commemorative Bentayga's, but none quite as grand as the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition, which is the focus of this review. And yes, the name is that long, and it's quite a statement and is elegant, just like the car itself. Developed with expert insights, the Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition goes beyond luxury offerings with a selection of features for a stress-free driving experience. Complementing the tech and luxury is a timeless design with unique touches that give it a distinct character from other Bentayga models. So, is the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition worth buying? Read on to find out.
The Bentley Bentayga V8, throughout the Bentayga's production, has been the base model for several Bentayga variants, including the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition. But if plans weren't underway to discontinue the W12 engine, Bentley would have probably based it on the Bentayga Speed. That aside, the Bentayga EWB First Edition was added to the Bentayga lineup to commemorate the introduction of the first Bentayga EWB. Bentley announced it would be a limited production model, with production expected to end in May 2024, 12 months after its debut on 19th May 2023. How many orders have been placed since the Bentayga EWB First Edition debuted remains unclear. However, production numbers are expected to likely be less than 1,000, considering that only 608 2017 Bentley W12 First Editions were made. Will this increase its value in the future?
Having been derived from the Bentley Bentayga V8, the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition has a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sending 542 horsepower and 568 lb.ft to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Strangely, Bentley didn't include a power upgrade tweak, but what the car gets is enough to send it to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and to a top speed of 180 mph. Due to everything underneath remaining similar to the Bentayga V8, the Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition only adds around 200 pounds more, weighing 5,542 pounds.
The 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition's interior is as grand as the name, featuring Bentley's finest Harmony Diamon Quilt leather upholstery, designed to emphasize the sense of space as Bentley claims. Besides the seats, the entire cabin offers a cosseting experience on every surface, from the plush deep-pile floor mats to the fine wood veneers on the dashboard and picnic-style tables mounted behind the rear seats. As an exclusive model, features available in lower models are standard in the Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition's cabin for maximum comfort. Some of the features it has that you rarely find in other Bentayga models include a 1,720-watt 20-speaker Naim for Bentley audio system and diamond illumination shining through the handcrafted quilted leather.
Like the interior, the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition's exterior also received special treatments. The first distinguishing characteristic you'll notice is the vaned grille, finished in chrome and symbolic of classic Bentleys. The lower bumper mesh grilles are also finished in chrome and complement the sparkling headlights. If the grille doesn't make the car unique enough for you, First Edition badging can be seen throughout the exterior, again finished in chrome to catch attention just like the car itself. During launch, Bentley unveiled a new Topaz Blue paint bespoke for the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition. It pairs beautifully with the bright exterior elements, including the new 22-inch 10-spoke wheels. But if vibrant hues aren't your preference, Bentley offered more than 60 paint options during production. This makes it easy to find a perfect match for any taste.
To an untrained eye, it might seem like a spruced-up Bentley Bentayga, but the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition embraces a holistic approach to comfort that is quite hard to find anywhere else. Take, for instance, the air conditioning, which is not just any air con. Bentley says it's designed to maximize the occupants' well-being by intelligently filtering pollutants, including microscopic particles that are easy to inhale, for a healthier cabin environment. Additionally, reduced Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) levels in the cabin create a tranquil and stress-free interior ambiance. The Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition's tech suite goes beyond comfort as it prioritizes safety as well. All drivers assist features included in the Touring Specification package, optional for other models, are standard on the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition, promoting a sense of calm and confidence behind the wheel.
In 2023, Bentley presented their most extensive Bentayga lineup compared to the previous model. Within the lineup, the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition stood out as the range-topping model initially priced at $281,255. Patient car buyers can now benefit from depreciation as today, the 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition averages $240,000. If you're patient enough, you might find one listed for lower figures towards the $200,000 mark. Wondering where to find the best 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition deals?
