12 Apr 2014|2,060 views
Set to be a dedicated model on the all new Bentley SUV available in 2017, the Bentley Hybrid Concept - based on the flagship Mulsanne luxury limousine - will be on display at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition on Sunday, the 20thApril. As the first luxury brand to present a plug-in hybrid, Bentley leads the way in bringing new powertrain choice to the luxury automotive sector.
Through Bentley's hybrid system, the British marque believes its customers are offered with a wider choice of modern, powerful and efficient powertrains.
The plug-in hybrid system will offer a power increase of up to 25 percent together with a 70 percent reduction in carbon emissions - yet without any compromise to the exquisite luxury, design and industry leading refinement for which Bentley has become renowned.
Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors, commented, "There is no doubt that plug-in hybrid technology is true to Bentley's values of outstanding luxury and effortless performance. Combining our renowned engines with electric power reinforces and enhances both principles, and so we will gradually introduce this powertrain across our model range. By the end of the decade, at least 90 percent of our production will be available as a plug-in hybrid."
Copper is used as an exterior and interior styling element to highlight the car's electrical veins, including copper details to the headlamps, brake callipers and, among other areas, the badges. Copper accents continue in the cabin, with inserts to the hand crafted veneers fascia, switch bezels and instruments. Copper cross‑stitching to the Mulliner Driving Specification diamond quilted interior provides the finishing flourish.
The Bentley Hybrid Concept will be joined on the Bentley show stand in Beijing by three other members including the new Flying Spur V8, the Continental GT Speed and the new Continental GT V8 S.
