Modern luxury vehicles keep getting larger and heavier with every new generation as a result of the added new features, heavy electrified powertrains, and massive dimensions. The new Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase is the perfect example with its weight of 5,542 pounds (2,514 kilograms) and a gross vehicle mass of 7,165 lbs (3,250 kg). These figures are getting dangerously close to the weight limits of a European Union driver’s license and the British automaker is taking steps to ensure its European customers won’t be banned from driving new Bentleys.
