Earlier this month, Bentley introduced a special-edition Bentayga specifically for the Chinese market, which demonstrated the elegance of subtle alterations. However, the newly released Atelier Edition takes a decidedly different approach. This limited edition, available for all Bentayga models, offers an extensive range of customization options, with Bentley’s designers reviving classic Mulliner colors to create six spectacular combinations.
Bentley positions the Atelier Edition as a counterpoint to its Bentayga S Edition. While the latter features gloss black elements, the Atelier Edition emphasizes brightwork. This includes a vertically vaned chrome grille complemented by a secondary matrix grille finished in Hallmark Satin, a coating also used on the front and rear bumper valances. The wheels, which feature self-leveling badges, boast a bright machined satin appearance with Tungsten Satin-painted pockets, a color repeated on the front fender wing vents.
Opening the doors initiates a unique welcome lighting sequence exclusive to the Atelier Edition. Inside, the cabin is adorned with Atelier Edition treadplates, Harmony Diamond quilting with contrast stitching that matches the secondary leather color, and standard mood lighting. These features, along with the five-seat Comfort Specification seating setup, are among several Mulliner options included. The two-tone interior theme is further enhanced by contrast piping and painted trim elements. Atelier Edition tags on the headrests distinguish this model from standard Bentaygas.
Bentley’s designers have curated six color configurations to showcase the brilliance of the Atelier Edition.
The first option, named Light Onyx, is a warm grey Mulliner hue paired with a cabin featuring Linen as the primary leather and Imperial Blue for the secondary hide, complemented by diamond-brushed aluminum on the fascia and waistrails.
The second combination showcases Obsidian Crystal, a new color exclusive to this limited edition, with a Saddle and Beluga interior and Open Pore Dark-Stained Walnut trim.
Light Emerald, another classic Mulliner paint, is the third option. It blends Cumbrian Green and Portland leathers, accentuated by diamond-brushed aluminum, which closely resembles the Hallmark Satin finish found on the exterior.
Option four combines Rubino, the launch color for the previous-generation Continental GT, with an interior featuring Gravity Grey and Cricketball hues, along with brushed aluminum accents.
The penultimate option combines Porcelain paint, another legacy Mulliner shade, with Portland and Burnt Oak. Here, Open Pore Koa wood is paired with Piano Burnt Oak.
Finally, the last combination includes Quartzute grey paint, Linen and Gravity Grey leathers, and veneers in Piano Linen with Gravity Grey accents.
While pricing has not been officially announced, a significant premium over the standard Bentayga’s starting price of approximately $200,000 is anticipated. For those who find this exclusive model outside their budget, Bentley has a smaller Bentayga model in development for release next year.
