What changed on the 2020 Bentley Bentayga

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says the Bentayga carries over with few changes for 2020, with an 8.0-inch infotainment screen with navigation and Apple CarPlay standard on every model and a 10-speaker stereo as standard, with Naim's 20-speaker system as the top option. Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) lists private-party values from about $72,900 to $81,500.

The big refresh came during 2020: evo (opens in a new tab) calls it a major refresh rather than an all-new car, with a new look, interior and a 10.9-inch touchscreen replacing the old screen. Autoevolution (opens in a new tab) adds a redesigned center fascia, a new 22-inch wheel design and new Koa and Crown Cut Walnut veneers. Check which design a specific car has.

Recalls and problems owners report

NHTSA lists four recall campaigns for the 2020 Bentayga. 20V092000 covers side curtain air bags that may not inflate properly, 20V154000 a third-row upper seat belt anchor that may not stay connected in a crash, 20V321000 a fuel line quick connector that may leak, and 23V592000 fuel supply module wiring that can overheat and melt the flange, causing a fuel leak. Bentley or its dealers fix each free of charge.

NHTSA has no owner complaints on file for this year. CleanVins (opens in a new tab) summarizes the categories, and VinSpectorAI (opens in a new tab) tracks the Bentayga by year.
