BENTLEY BENTAYGA HYBRID COLLECTION MAGAZINE

City & Beyond Bentley is taking the next step on its journey to a sustainable future with the launch of the new Bentayga Hybrid – the only electrified true-luxury SUV in the world, and a model that Bentley predicts will become the best-selling member of the new Bentayga family.

ollowing the recent launches of the new Bentayga V8 and Bentayga Speed, the new Bentayga Hybrid becomes the third model in the most successful luxury SUV portfolio the segment has ever seen.

F

The new exterior and interior design emphasises Bentley design DNA across the entire model range, giving Bentley the freshest and most modern product family of any luxury car company.

The new Bentayga Hybrid offers the ultimate in electric luxury, with smooth and silent progress through urban environments, whilst having the grand touring capability to escape the city and explore further.

Customers of the Bentayga Hybrid can escape the noise of the city through the refined and acoustically-isolated serenity of the cabin without engine interference, using up to 31 miles of electric-only range (NEDC), before physically leaving the city behind with the comfort of a total combined range of 536 miles (NEDC).

Delivering the same level of comfort and luxury, yet with a quieter and more refined driving experience, the Bentayga Hybrid brings a selection of new technologies and connected car services, positioning the new product as the most technically advanced Bentayga to date.

Introducing the very latest on-board technology and an even more cosseting cabin, the new Bentayga is significantly revised both inside and out from the previous generation.

Subtle exterior badging complements the new Bentayga’s exterior design now prevalent across the entire model range, giving Bentley the

BENTLEY BENTAYGA HYBRID COLLECTION MAGAZINE

freshest and most modern product family of any luxury car company.

Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors, Adrian Hallmark, comments: “The Bentayga Hybrid is the next step on our journey to becoming the world’s leading sustainable luxury mobility company. Bentley will transform from a 100-year-old luxury car company to a new, sustainable, wholly ethical role model for luxury, and the Bentayga Hybrid is the first model to pioneer our company’s recently announced Beyond100 strategy.”

15

Bentley’s research shows over 90 per cent of customers use their firstgeneration Bentayga Hybrid on a daily basis or several times a week, and nearly 100 per cent of customers use EV mode, with half of them consistently undertaking journeys of less than 30 miles.

During previous retailer training, 78 per cent zero emissions journeys were achieved regularly over a 500 mile activity. In a more urban environment, one of Bentley’s development drivers achieved 67 per cent zero emissions over 672 miles around San Francisco, and in the UK, Chris Cole – Project Leader for the Bentayga Hybrid achieved 64 per cent zero emissions commuting to and from the factory.

In real world terms, the majority of journeys can be achieved completely in electric only, with zero emissions, delivering more benefits environmentally and building on Bentley’s new reputation for sustainability for the future.

BLUE FOREST COLLECTION MAGAZINE

A TREERIFIC

ESCAPE n 2003, after graduating with a degree in Business and Design, Andy, along with his brother Simon were asked to design and build a walkway suspended high above the Mida Creek mangroves in Kenya. Once Andy started showing photos of their work to his UK friends, he saw the excitement that it inspired and so Blue Forest was born.

As far as we’re concerned, treehouses are not just for children. It doesn’t matter how old you are or what you do for a living; everyone needs to have a bit of excitement in their lives and a breathtakingly beautiful hideout up in the trees, or nestled within the woods, will bring a smile to your face, every time.They believe in bringing their clients closer to the natural world, creating amazing structures that the clients adore from the moment they reveal the designs. What’s more, they absolutely love doing it.

Blue Forest is an award-winning company renowned for pushing the boundaries of design and bringing a touch of magic to their creations. The skilled team of architectural designers, interior designers and project managers will work with you to create a treehouse that is completely personal to you.

BLUE FOREST ????????

COLLECTION MAGAZINE

For many people owning an incredible hideaway up in the trees is something they only got to dream about as children. But there’s absolutely nothing stopping you from having your own magical treehouse in your garden, and Blue Forest can make it as amazing and awe-inspiring as you want it to be.

And for those who do not have any trees, or prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground, they also design amazing ground based structures perfect for home offices, yoga studios, creative hubs and even hobbit holes! Not all their designs need to be lofty abodes, and they have recently designed a Down to Earth Collection of ground based structures that would fit in perfectly within any garden setting. This collection is designed to offer an alternative solution to the standard home office – why should working from home be boring? The ground based structures eliminate the need for planning permission, making them an attractive alternative while still keeping all the charm and character of one of their treehouses.

They always say ‘if you can imagine it, we can build it’. The highly

skilled team of specialist designers will take time to understand what you want and will work with you to design a bespoke treehouse or home office that’s perfect for you. They will use their expertise to suggest additional elements and features that you might not have thought of. They’re a creative bunch and love nothing better than to push the limits of design.

Have you always wanted a secret room hidden behind a bookcase door? No problem. What about a secret escape tunnel leading out of the room? Great.You’d love a family living space up in the trees?

Excellent, or how about a hobbit hole with it’s own wood burning stove and outdoor firepit, the perfect escape for any Bilbo Baggins fan. The team believe in making your dream a reality but as treehouse experts, they know that it’s also their job to show you what else is possible.

Blue Forest also offers a unique interior design service. In the world of treehouses and hobbit holes, the little personal touches are just as important as the bigger things. From hand-crafted swing seats to personalised fairy doors and home cinema screens, they add a personal touch to every project.

So, sit back and let your imagination run wild – and they’ll take care of the rest.

For further information on either treehouses or ground based structures, please visit our website www.blueforest.com or you can call the office on 01892 750090, or email us at info@blueforest.com

They care for the environment and want to do their best to ensure that the natural world is protected and can be enjoyed for generations to come. They promote sustainable principles and ethics throughout every stage of the design and build process, so you can rest assured that your new treehouse is as eco-friendly as possible. Where possible, the timber is PEFC or FSC certified and sourced from sustainably managed forests where there is an active strategy of replanting and habitat regeneration.
