The highlight of the new Azure models is Bentley’s latest High Performance Hybrid powertrain, which pairs a cutting-edge 4.0-litre V8 engine with a powerful electric motor. This combination delivers an impressive 680 PS of power and 930 Nm of torque, setting a new benchmark for luxury hybrid performance.
Also featured at the Bentley stand is the Bentayga EWB Azure, presented in a bespoke Mulliner Nīla Blue finish. This extended wheelbase SUV goes beyond traditional luxury, showcasing state-of-the-art wellbeing technology for a refined and comfortable experience.
Speaking at the press conference, Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, stated, “With the introduction of the Azure alongside our acclaimed Speed variants, Bentley customers can now select a model that truly aligns with their personal style and driving preferences. Our customers in China and the luxury market here continue to inspire us to innovate, and we are energized by the opportunities ahead.”
He added, “Innovation and progress are at the heart of Bentley’s legacy. As we evolve through our Beyond100+ strategy, we remain committed to delivering extraordinary experiences at every step.”
New Continental GT Azure and GT Convertible Azure: Where Elegance Meets Wellbeing
The latest Continental GT Azure and GT Convertible Azure models combine refined design, luxurious features, and a strong emphasis on occupant wellbeing. From first glance, the Azure’s signature details stand out—such as the gloss black matrix grille with a bright chrome surround and vertical vanes, showcased on the Breeze-finished Continental GT Convertible. A gloss black front splitter contrasts elegantly with the bright grilles on the bumper and lower intakes. Completing the exterior look are striking 22” silver and bright machined Azure wheels and Azure badging on the front fenders.
Inside, the cabin exudes sophistication with new 3D Harmony diamond quilting on the seats and door panels, and the Azure name embroidered on the headrests. The interior is further elevated with open-pore Crown Cut Walnut veneer, illuminated Azure treadplates, contrast stitching, and Bentley’s Wellness seating for enhanced comfort.
Both models come equipped with a generous suite of features as standard, including the Touring, Comfort, and Lighting Specifications. The Continental GT Azure, displayed in Light Windsor Blue, includes a panoramic sunroof, while the Convertible version features a neck warmer—ensuring comfort during open-top drives even in cooler weather.
New Flying Spur Azure: Refined Presence and Signature Detailing
Echoing the design language of the Continental GT Azure, the new Flying Spur Azure features a striking chrome matrix grille with 11 vertical vanes, adding a bold touch to its sophisticated presence. Distinctive Azure badging on the fenders, bright chrome lower grilles, and chrome brightware further enhance its elegant exterior. Completing the look are newly designed 22” Azure wheels, finished in a refined mix of silver and bright machined metal.
All Azure models focus on reducing stress and promoting wellbeing, complemented by driver assistance technologies for smoother, safer journeys. Accordingly, both the two front seats and the two outer rear seats of the Flying Spur Azure feature Bentley’s Wellness seating, with heating and ventilation to maintain the occupant’s optimum temperature for comfort and alertness. A massage function with six programmable settings promotes the constant micro-adjustments in muscle and posture that are essential in preventing fatigue.
Other tactile and visual delights include mood lighting, Harmony quilting to the door inners and seats, Azure embroidered headrests, open pore crown cut walnut trim and the Touring, Comfort and Mood Lighting specification packages. As a finishing touch, illuminated Bentley treadplates feature the Azure namestyle.

Developed in collaboration with wellbeing experts, it features the Touring Specification, including advanced driver assistance systems, and a cabin designed to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), helping to minimize driver fatigue and enhance safety.
Inside, the EWB Azure offers a serene, re-energizing environment with unique quilted seats, mood lighting, a heated steering wheel, and 22-way adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation. The cabin’s design supports alertness and comfort, addressing fatigue—linked to 20% of road collisions.
