The battery on the Bentayga is under the floor, which protects it from hot underhood temperatures that can degrade battery life. By keeping the Bentayga’s battery 20 to 30 degrees cooler, its life is increased by years. The RS Q8’s battery is in the hot engine compartment.

The Bentayga SPEED’s standard 6.0 turbo 12-cylinder produces 35 more horsepower (626 vs. 591) and 74 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 590) than the RS Q8’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid.

For better maneuverability, the Bentayga SPEED’s turning circle is 4.5 feet tighter than the RS Q8’s (39 feet vs. 43.5 feet). The Bentayga’s turning circle is 2.9 feet tighter than the RS Q8’s (40.6 feet vs. 43.5 feet).

The Bentayga is 66.7 inches shorter in height than the RS Q8, making the Bentayga much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

The design of the Bentley Bentayga amounts to more than styling. The Bentayga has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .34 Cd. That is lower than the RS Q8 (.36). A more efficient exterior helps keep the interior quieter and helps the Bentayga get better fuel mileage.

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the RS Q8, the Bentayga has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the Bentayga to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The RS Q8 doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the Bentayga has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The RS Q8 doesn’t offer cornering lights.

Optional air conditioned the front and second row seats keep the Bentayga’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The RS Q8 doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

Both the Bentayga and the RS Q8 offer optional massaging front seats. The Bentayga also offers optional massaging second row seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging rear seats aren’t available in the RS Q8.

The Bentayga’s Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The RS Q8 doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
