Inside, the Bentayga adopts a design that is an evolution to the ones seen in the current models. It is equipped with a large multi-information color display, start-stop button on the Terrain selector, stubby gear selector, new steering wheel design, and a Head-Up Display. For infotainment, the Bentayga relies on an 8-inch touchscreen system on the dashboard, which supports 30 languages and has an in-built 60 GB hard drive.
