BENTLEY RIGA CELEBRATES ITS FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY WITH THE PREMIERE OF THE BENTAYGA EXTENDED WHEELBASE IN THE BALTICS

• Long-standing Bentley Riga retail partner celebrates its fifteenth anniversary
• Debut of the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase in the Baltics
• Extended by 180 mm to offer increased interior space with first diamond illumination application 
• Airline Seat Specification includes world-first auto climate and advanced postural adjustment systems
• Azure model line prioritises comfort and ‘wellbeing behind the wheel’

(Munich, 17 October 2022) Bentley Motors was pleased to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of a long-standing retail partner. Bentley Riga has been set in 2007 and has been growing over the years. For the occasion, Bentley Riga has welcomed the debut of the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) in the Baltics markets.

The class-leading SUV with its additional 180 mm was at the centre of the attention during the week of celebrations. With increased interior dimensions compared to other luxury rivals, the Bentayga EWB features the first application of Bentley Diamond Illumination, delivering cabin lighting through the handcrafted leather, as well as the optional Airline Seat Specification, with world-first climate sensing and advanced postural adjustment systems. 

The EWB Azure prioritises comfort, with a carefully curated selection of features for ‘wellness behind the wheel’. Developed with the help of wellbeing experts and neuroscientists, the Azure includes the Touring Specification of advanced driver assistance technologies for safer, more relaxing journeys. The stress-free interior ambience is enhanced by reduced levels of NVH, or Noise, Vibration and Harshness.

In terms of performance, the EWB is launched with Bentley’s 4.0-litre 550 PS V8 engine. Customers can choose from 24 billion different trim combinations, with finer sewing threads creating Bentley’s softest, lofted quilt to date. Despite the extensive number of possible trim combinations, customers can still work with Mulliner, Bentley’s customisation department, on further bespoke content.

Balazs Rooz, Regional Director Bentley Motors Europe, commented:

“Celebrating such an anniversary in the automotive industry is a special moment. Having a long-standing partner is the proof of the hard work between the car manufacturer and the retail partner in market, allowing to develop a strong relationship and a top notch customer experience. The brand has been built from zero in Riga back in 2007 to a well-established one today and I can only congratulate the whole team at Bentley Riga for their trust, commitment and support over the years.” 

Valdis Spredzis, General Manager of Bentley Riga, added:

“It is with emotion and pride that the full team at Bentley Riga is reflecting and looking back at fifteen years of a truly extraordinary journey with the brand. The brand has been extremely stable with a well-established showroom and my team. A team, who despite the fast-paced world we are evolving in, remained almost unchanged in the last fifteen years. It is rare enough to take the opportunity to thank all of them, as this definitely contributed for Bentley Riga to become a reference in the Latvian market.”
