BENTLEY BENTAYGA LEATHER SEATS, HEATED AND VENTILATED SEATS 7

For the Bentley Bentayga (2016–Present), the 7-Seat Specification transforms the vehicle into the most versatile model in the lineup. While the Bentayga is standard as a 5-seater, the optional third row adds two electrically folding seats, though the level of “Comfort Specification” (heating and ventilation) varies by row.

1. Seating Configuration & Comfort

The 7-seat layout is designed to balance high-capacity passenger travel with Bentley’s signature luxury.

2. The “Comfort Specification” Details

If you are looking for Heated and Ventilated seats specifically, you must ensure the vehicle was optioned with the Comfort Specification.

• Front Seat Comfort Specification: Adds ventilation, 6 massage settings, adjustable bolsters, and “winged” headrests to the driver and passenger seats.

• Five Seat Comfort Specification: Extends the ventilation and massage features to the outer two seats of the middle-row bench.

• 7-Seat Limitation: Because the third-row seats must fold completely flat into the trunk floor, they do not contain the cooling fans or massage bladders found in the front and middle rows. They are, however, trimmed in the same premium leather.

3. Leather & Interior Craftsmanship

• Quilting: In 7-seat models, the “Diamond” or “Small Diamond” quilting (found in the Mulliner Specification) is usually carried across all three rows for visual consistency.

• Hide Options: You can choose from the full palette of Bentley hides (e.g., Beluga, Newmarket Tan, Hotspur, Cricket Ball).

• Third Row Access: The middle row features a “tip and slide” mechanism to allow passengers to climb into the rearmost seats.

4. Practicality & Operation

• Electric Folding: The third row is operated via buttons located in the luggage compartment (trunk) or near the rear doors. They fold flat in seconds to restore full cargo space.

• Suspension: Bentaygas equipped with 7 seats often include Bentley Dynamic Ride (48V active anti-roll bars) to ensure the extra weight of passengers doesn’t affect the car’s handling or “Bentley Cloud” ride quality.

• Air Conditioning: 7-seat models include an upgraded HVAC system with additional vents in the C-pillars to ensure the third-row passengers receive adequate airflow.

Technical Tip: The “4V” vs “36A” Code

If you are sourcing replacement seat parts or covers:

• 36A: The internal factory code for the Bentayga.

• 4V / 4V1: The chassis prefix often used in VINs and parts catalogs (e.g., 36A881xxx for seat components).
