Bentley has redesigned its Bentayga SUV as a key vehicle in the famed British carmaker's retooled lineup.
The $177,000 vehicle is the first model under Bentley's "Beyond100" business strategy, which aims to reinvent the 101-year-old company for the next century. The plan includes pivoting to electrified vehicles while continuing to sell a plug-in hybrid model of the Bentayga.
The 2021 Bentayga unveiled Tuesday evolves the vehicle's exterior design with new LED lights as well as a larger matrix grille. The rear of the vehicle also was updated for a sleeker, less-boxy look.
Quite a lot has been going on:

In a high-profile decision last year, AWS lost out on a contract to provide cloud computing services to the Pentagon with an estimated value of up to $10 billion, with Microsoft’s Azure taking the win. Amazon has formally challenged the decision, and the proceedings resulting from that challenge are ongoing. But the contract loss was likely a wake-up call at AWS that it would need to do more in order to bolster its pipeline for dedicated defense agency contracts.
