Bentley Mulsanne Adds Duck-Down-Filled Cushions, Other Interior Updates for 2014
Bentley isn’t about to let its Mulsanne sedan flagship go stale, and for the 2014 model year, has prepared a couple of minor updates designed to maintain passengers relaxed and entertained. The 2014 Bentley Mulsanne’s refreshed options list features a variety of interior features not previously available including duck-down-filled cushions and dual eight-inch LCD headrest screens with Bluetooth headphones and a handheld remote control for lucky rear-seat passengers. We’ll get our first take a look at the 2014 Bentley Mulsanne on the Geneva Motor Show in March; you are able to order certainly one of your personal starting in April.
The 2014 Mulsanne is all about tweaks and updates that keep the Bentley up-to-date with other luxurious four-doors well above $100,000. For many who choose to be driven, the recent Comfort Specification adds comfort headrests with manually adjustable wings. New footrests are covered in flat-cut cabin carpet and conceal, and Bentley now makes available duck-down-filled loose cushions trimmed inside the same hide because the seats. Standard on all 2014 Mulsannes — and we’re guessing this was in accordance with customer feedback — is a brand new rear door armrest storage compartment that could hold cellphones or the Bluetooth headphones for the entertainment system — and, in fact, are lined with leather.
New black or tan opaque privacy curtains may come in useful when cashing in on the Entertainment Specification’s two eight-inch screens with a 20-GB hard-drive and DVD player. An onboard Wi-Fi router may be a part of the package, as are special hide-trimmed rear picnic tables made to suit an iPad and keyboard.
When 2014 Mulsanne owners are done working with/playing on their iPad, they will store them inside the Mulsanne’s six-piece luggage set, made by Italy-based Schedoni. The Bentley now offers three new exterior colors and 3 hide colors. No changes has been made under the Mulsanne’s hood, which hides a 505-hp 6.7-liter V-8 with 752 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, we’ve tested the 5984-pound Mulsanne accelerating from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds.
