Against plug-in hybrids
The CarCody take
The 2027 Bentley Bentayga Hybrid is a standard SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and an automatic eight-speed transmission. Its EPA figures are 42 combined MPGe, 21 combined MPG, and 20 miles of electric range. A 240-volt connection takes three hours to charge, while EPA annual fuel cost is $3,900.
Good to know
- 42 combined MPGe from its plug-in hybrid powertrain
- 20 miles of EPA electric range
- All-wheel drive in a standard SUV body
- Three-hour charge time at 240 volts
- 23 highway MPG rating
Watch for
- Only 20 miles of EPA electric range
- 21 combined MPG on gasoline
- $3,900 EPA annual fuel cost
- 80 kWh per 100 miles of energy use
- 206 grams per mile of tailpipe CO2
Who it suits. Short daily trips within its 20-mile electric range Drivers who can charge at 240 volts SUV shoppers wanting all-wheel drive and gasoline backup
The Bentayga Hybrid makes the most sense for short daily driving with reliable access to a 240-volt charger. Its 20-mile electric range can cover brief errands, and the gasoline engine keeps the SUV usable beyond that distance. All-wheel drive and a standard SUV format add practical scope, but the EPA still lists 21 combined MPG and $3,900 in annual fuel cost. Consider it when plug-in convenience matters more than maximizing electric-only distance.
What it is
The 2027 Bentayga Hybrid is a Bentley SUV and a plug-in hybrid.
Its defining EPA figure is 42 combined MPGe. The EPA also lists 20 miles of electric range before the gasoline powertrain matters more.
The numbers
EPA fuel economy is 19 MPG in city driving and 23 MPG on the highway, for 21 MPG combined. Electric energy use is 80 kWh per 100 miles.
The 20-mile electric range suits short trips, while the gasoline ratings describe driving after that charge is used. Tailpipe CO2 is 206 grams per mile.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost figure is $3,900. That estimate reflects the Bentayga Hybrid's 21 combined MPG and 42 combined MPGe ratings.
Charging at 240 volts takes three hours. The 80 kWh-per-100-miles energy figure helps explain why electric driving still uses substantial stored energy.
How it compares
When you compare plug-in hybrids, use the Bentayga Hybrid's 42 combined MPGe, 20-mile EPA range, and $3,900 annual fuel-cost figure.
Its standard SUV 4WD classification and all-wheel drive make it a different point of comparison from smaller plug-in cars. The 19-city and 23-highway MPG figures show the gasoline trade-off.
Who it suits
This SUV suits a driver whose regular trips can fit within 20 electric miles and who can plug in at 240 volts for a three-hour charge.
It also fits someone who wants an all-wheel-drive SUV while keeping a gasoline engine for trips beyond the EPA electric range.
Trade-offs
The plug-in system gives a 42 combined MPGe rating, but the gasoline-only combined figure is 21 MPG. City driving is rated at 19 MPG, versus 23 MPG on the highway.
A 20-mile electric range limits how much daily driving can stay electric. Charging requires access to a 240-volt connection, and EPA energy use is 80 kWh per 100 miles.
Verdict
Choose the Bentayga Hybrid if your daily route is short enough to use its electric range and you want all-wheel drive in a standard SUV body. Its 42 combined MPGe rating rewards regular charging, while the gasoline engine covers longer journeys. The main costs are a $3,900 EPA annual fuel estimate, 21 combined MPG when using gasoline, and an electric range of only 20 miles. It is a fit for drivers who can charge at home and accept that compromise.
