More luxurious, more sustainable, more money and more purple
Bentley’s Mulliner tailoring arm has turned its attention to the firm’s flagship SUV for what is set to be the British marque’s most opulent model money. Well, short of the one-of-18The brunt of Mulliner’s handiwork has been focused on dialling up the level of luxury inside the’s already lavish cabin, especially for passengers in the rear.
Another ‘first’ regards the new olive-tan leather seats. Rather than using traditional tanning methods, which rely on chemicals that aren’t particularly friendly to the environment, Bentley instead uses wastewater from the olive pressing process as a dyeing agent. It apparently uses considerably less water and is free from nasty chemicals, resulting in an ‘organic leather’ that should feel just as sumptuous as the leather you find in the firm's 'regular' models.
There’s also a curated, pre-set selection of three-tone interior designs, but if you fancy something a bit more personalised then Mulliner has over 4,000 different combinations to choose from. Diamond leather is available both front and back, with the leather on the door inserts featuring an assortment of LEDs that emit light through perforations in the leather. Other interior touches include a Mulliner clock, model-specific instruments, mood lighting and the obligatory puddle lights.
Exterior touches are a tad more subtle, aside from the metallic purple paintwork. Mulliner’s signature double-diamond grille is present, and there’s a new 22-inch wheel design that’s bespoke to the flagship EWB. The ‘wings’ on the, er, wings get their own Mulliner touch, too, which are silver as standard but can be switched to gloss black, along with all the other shiny bits, with the optional ‘Blackline’ trim level.
Obviously, the Mulliner carries a healthy premium, with prices starting at £245,000 – or nearly £35,000 more than the standard EWB. You do get a fair bit of kit as standard, mind, so while I hesitate to use the word bargain, it’s certainly tempting if an EWB is on your radar. However, if a purple Bentley is all you’re after, then might I suggest taking a look at
