Bentley Airline Seat Specification adds more luxury to Bentayga EWB

By CARSIFU | 8 July 2022


CREWE (UK): Bentley has unveiled the new Airline Seat Specification of the Bentayga Extended Wheel Base (EWB) that is said to be the world’s first to feature auto climate sensing system and advanced postural adjustment technology.

With up to 22 ways of adjustments, the rear seats provide the finest rear accommodation since the Mulsanne.

After a rear seat passenger selects their desired temperature from seven different levels, the auto climate seat senses passenger temperature and surface humidity with an accuracy of 0.1°C every 25 milliseconds.

The system can then determine whether to apply heat, ventilation or both simultaneously to keep the passenger at optimum thermal wellbeing.

Meanwhile, the postural adjustment system, featuring 12 silent motors, automatically makes micro adjustments to the passenger’s seating position and pressure points, using an algorithm developed in collaboration with a chiropractor.

The motors work together with three intelligent pneumatic valve electronic control units, and the combination of motors and valves is managed by a master Seat Motion & Wellbeing ECU.

The system can apply 177 individual pressure changes across six fully independent pressure zones over a three-hour period improving comfort and minimising fatigue throughout a journey.

By subtly changing the shape of the surfaces of the seat over time, no one area of the body endures pressure fatigue for an extended period – meaning the occupant is always comfortable.

With initial customer uptake of 50% the Airline Seat Specification, the Bentayga EWB demonstrates a new benchmark in wellbeing features, providing the most comfortable experience possible for those travelling on extraordinary journeys.

The Bentley Airline Seat Specification also adds further cushion and backrest bolster adjustment, cushion extension, electric headrest height adjustment and a deployable footrest to the back of the front passenger seat.

The rear seat passenger on this side of the car can also move the front passenger seat forwards via a “VIP mode”.
