The Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) is based on the current second-generation Bentayga and extends the wheelbase and rear space by an additional 180 mm. In making the bodyshell changes to the underbody, side panels, doors and roof, Bentley's design team took meticulous care to ensure the lines and proportions still embody Bentley's signature style and presence. The increased wheelbase from 2,995 mm to 3,175 mm results in an overall length of 5,322 mm. The extra length is evident in the rear doors, which give the impression of a decidedly luxurious rear compartment. The SUV offers more space in the rear seat area than any of its competitors within the luxury sector. The focus is clearly on the wellness aspect. The introduction of the world's first automatically air-conditioned rear seat with an advanced system to optimize seating posture ensures an exceptional driving experience. The new Bentley airline-style seats are the most advanced seats ever fitted to a passenger car. It offers 22 adjustment options and the world's first automatic climate sensor system with optimal seat posture technology. In relax mode, the seat can be folded back 40 degrees. The front passenger seat is motorized to move forward and a beautiful leather-covered footrest folds out from the back of the front passenger seat. In business mode, the seat is placed in the upright position for maximum comfort.
The SEAT Tarraco FR uses a range of new and optimised powertrains, both petrol (TSI), diesel (TDI), producing the performance expected for a vehicle carrying the FR badge, but balancing the need to lower emissions. But as well as the traditional, the large SUV also brings plug-in hybrid technology to the segment, combing combustion and electrification to deliver a thrilling drive while maximising the use of electrification and aid SEAT’s shift to a more sustainable approach to mobility. Diesel remains core to the Tarraco, and the FR benefits from two 2.0-litre TDI units with 150PS (110kW) and 200PS (147kW) power outputs respectively. The line-up includes a 2.0l engine linked to either a six-speed manual gearbox or seven-speed automatic DSG transmission with a power output of 150PS (110kW).
In addition to the exterior makeover, the interior of the C5 Aircross has also been given a more modern look, with improvements in comfort and technology that are apparent as soon as you climb into the car. The C5 Aircross now has a new 10-inch touchscreen that appears to be floating on the dashboard, improving ergonomics by providing direct access to the climate controls and greater readability. The air vents are now below the screen and designed with a new horizontal design. The high and large center console has also been revised and optically tidied up. The new small gear selector switch replaces the previous large gear selector lever on vehicles with automatic transmission, accompanied by the control for selecting the driving mode (electric, hybrid or sport) on the hybrid version. The center console also features a new storage compartment and a second, additional USB port. Customers can choose between the modern standard version and four new Advanced Comfort interior ambiences: Wild Black, Urban Black, Metropolitan Black and Hype Black. The blue visible seams of the five interior ambiences are harmoniously coordinated with the seams of the armrests in the doors and the decorative strips on the dashboard.
