In 2023, Bentley launched Extraordinary Journeys, a selection of curated travel experiences where guests would visit incredible locations, stay at some of the finest hotels and dine at superb restaurants, all while traveling in a range of different Bentley models. A roaring success for the British marque, Bentley’s bespoke studio, Mulliner, has just unveiled a selection of new Bentayga SUV designs that have been inspired by Extraordinary Journeys.
These limited-edition Extraordinary Journey Bentaygas look to exude the essence of travel, nature and well-being while also showcasing what Bentley’s bespoke studio is capable of. The Mulliner Studio has selected several of the travel destinations visited on Extraordinary Journeys and instilled the essence of those locations into these new editions. This new collection includes vehicles inspired by New Mexico, Scandinavia, China, New Zealand and the UK.
“With this collection, we hope to inspire and invite customers to challenge the notion of possible and consider how they may co-create with Mulliner,” said Mulliner’s chief commercial officer, David Parker. “Whether they unlock the ultimate level of bespoke from taking inspiration from their own travel experiences or from another passion.”
All of these new limited edition designs are Benteyga Azures, Bentley’s version of the Benteyga that puts passenger wellness and comfort to the forefront. Featuring the Front Seat Comfort Specification system, which offers 22-way adjustability and includes in-seat heating and ventilation functions.
For the Bentayga Extraordinary Journeys collection, the Bentley Mulliner division has incorporated bespoke interior shades and topographically embroidered cushions that highlight the specific region the model is inspired by.

The New Mexico Benteyga focuses on the ‘ruggedness and reverence’ of the American state, with nods to both the ancient world and tuning out from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Featuring warm brown and tans, such as the amber over burnt oak duo-tone paint and body-colored wheels, while the interior is done in saddle, camel and coral, with copper stone veneer.
For the Scandinavia edition, Mulliner looked to ‘gratitude of natural beauty and ecological sensitivity’. Using Portofino blue exterior paint and dark sapphire wheels, this model is a vision of blue. The interiors are finished in Mulliner white main hide, imperial blue secondary hide, light blue Stratos accents with contrast stitching. This model conjures the essence of the fjords and sustainable architecture that makes Scandinavia so unique.

The edition inspired by China looks to encompass the ‘serenity and relaxation through forces of nature’. This model features Arabica exterior paint and Pale Brodgar silver wheels, while the interior uses linen-colored hide with burnt oak, Odyssean tweed accents, gold-green stone veneer and piano burnt oak veneer on the center console. Selecting a particular region of this huge country, this model looks to China’s northwest, home to the Helan Mountains, Yellow River and Alashan Gobi.
New Zealand is a place of impressive scale where awe-inspiring vistas meet impressive tranquility. This Extraordinary Journeys Bentayga captures this essence with its white sand paint and pale brodgar silver wheels. The interior is both brown and grey thanks to the Portland main hide and secondary burnt oak, with Highland hare accents, dark green and bronze contrast stitching. This selection of colors takes the driver and passengers to New Zealand’s south island with its Ahuriri Valley and the Southern Alps.

Finally, the UK edition instills both tradition and reflection, celebrating the United Kingdom’s wilderness and escapism. This version of the Benteyga has an Alpine green satin exterior with grey satin wheels. The interior is trimmed in a selection of different greens but mostly features British Racing Green, a nod to Bentley’s history in motor racing, in addition to Cumbrian green, inspired by the Lake District – a key location on Bentley’s Extraordinary Journey in the UK, which travels from Crewe (the home of Bentley) to the Scotand’s Cairngorms and on to the whiskey capital of Speyside.
