Bentley Bentayga
The English brand's first SUV has rapidly become its best-selling vehicle in Canada, and for 2019, a plug-in hybrid version has been added to the lineup. Relying on a gas-powered V6 engine and an electric motor, this powertrain provides the Bentayga with an EV range of up to 50 kilometres. V8 (542 horsepower) and W12 (600 horsepower) engines are still available, as is an all-wheel drive system that gives the SUV off-road cred. The Mulliner version is the poshest and most expensive.
