Bentley Bentayga First Drive Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 02. 2016
- This is a very sophisticated, very complex vehicle. Beyond the abundant luxury - more on some of that later - the Bentayga has a serious amount of technology that is a new level for Bentley.
Read the complete first drive reviews at www.autofocus.ca/reviews/first... and vvuzz.com/index.php/2016/02/08...
The drivetrain starts with Bentley’s famous W12, but this engine is all new, it’s still twin turbocharged, and here it makes 600 horsepower and 664 pounds of torque, plus it’s fitted with cylinder deactivation for better efficiency. More importantly, it does zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and tops out at 301 km/h. Yes, this SUV posts supercar numbers, but don’t forget that Bentleys are all about effortless performance.
If you’re familiar with Bentleys, you’ll be at home inside the cabin. There is endless leather, wool and wood veneer. Everything you touch and interact with has an ultra premium feel. The seats are near perfect and visibility is great, as well. The list of driver assist features is almost endless, as you’d expect. There are optional Android-based tablets available for rear seat passengers and of course the Bentayga has wifi on board. The optional top sound system is by Naim, of course.
We’d need an hour long documentary to cover the abundance of luxury, technology and performance features of this Bentley, but I hope this quick look at the Bentayga conveys much of what I’ve experienced behind the wheel.

Great review, well filmed and very easy to enjoy!
Nice, informed and easy to watch review- well done
If MONEY was not the outstanding object, I would love to have one of these. Love the Dark Green one you were driving in, but I also know you can get it in any color you want, just plunk down the $$$'s. NICE!
Great video quality and overall editing. Keep it up man! You do deserve a bigger audience! Great work
+DssDPT Thanks! We don't disagree! Tell your friends!
I really don't understand why people say this car is ugly! This car is absolutely gorgeous! I think the word they are looking for is INTIMIDATING! It's my ultimate car.
OMG.... That's all I can say just loving this piece of art
Great review on this amazing car. Look forward to more on the Bentayga from you.
+Derek Pirie Thanks! We're looking forward to doing an in depth video on Bentayga - like our DB9 GT or Huracan Spyder videos - when we get our hands on one for a few days.
Great review as always Brian! I would like to see the 1 hour documentary:)
+chrsweden Our next piece will be longer for sure, but I doubt we'll get past the twelve minute mark!
I love that car! How is it that you always have the first reviews of those cars? haha love your reviews!
+J0lker Thanks! We work hard at it!
Awesome video. One day I will have a Bentayga. The Continental GT 3R is beastly.
I was quite sceptical about this car, but now that I see you driving it, it looks great!
The videography is amazing, very nice shots!
+inchskater Thanks! Much credit to the Bentley video team. They gave us some great footage to work with.
I'm actually considering purchase of either the Bentayga or the Range Rover SV Autobiography Supercharged. I've spent a lot of time with both. Most people would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two interiors for fit and finish with the Bentley perhaps slightly ahead. The Bentley performance is slightly better but at the levels both of them reach it's academic for most people. You won't hear Rangie owners complaining that their car will only do 155mph. It's offroad where the Bentley falls seriously behind. The wading depth is only half that of the Rangie which can run through 39 inches. The low range transfer box provides the Rangie with seriously better off road torque - you won't see the Bentley being taken over the rock climbs that the Rangie copes with routinely. And worst of all the Bentley has no effective spare wheel. I've owned a lot of cars over the decades and in most of them I've had to change a wheel at some time. The Rangie has a full size matching alloy wheel. The Bentley has a deflated tyre, you have to pump it up, and no place to put the flat you just removed. Do you really want to put a dirty muddy tyre into your luxury stowage area? In any event this will be full of the family luggage won't it, these things never happen in a convenient way. In my country you can be 300 miles or more from the nearest town, you need a proper spare. The Bentley will sell like hot cakes and so it should, it's a wonderful car. Just don't take it off road.
The market has spoken. It's sold out for two years. Also, did you watch this review? I drove the Bentayga in the dunes, off road, and on a racing circuit. Wicked versatility.
Thanks Brian, my concerns here in Australia are no full size spare ( we can be hundreds of miles from civilisation and a tyre shop) and the wading depth for casual flood waters. I'm still considering it though. I enjoy your reports.
I want a white one with the same interior.
Please and thank you!
great looking car.
Brian, you should be a car salesman because you just made me love the Bentayga. I haven't paid that much attention to it until this video. I never thought I would ever see a SUV that I think looks better than the BMW X5 but Bentayga might be the first in my opinion.
+MrGrownman455 I'm not so sure I'm ready to be a car salesman! The Bentayga is pretty darn amazing though and the design details are stunning.
Brian Makse The interior is simply perfect. I think it's the best looking luxury SUV out there.
I feel exterior wise it's a best seller because it's new and its exclusive not because it looks good.
I personally like the styling but do see a very close similarity in the front to a 1961 Studebaker Lark Station wagon!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha, bravo, Touche't....... ha ha ha, and the thing is...... Your RIGHT...
Fantastic video brian. That color combination is timeless. British racing green or some other green? Love what I saw of the interior. Hopefully this new stuff gets into the GT's as well, they seem to be woefully lacking in modern tech, which is inexcusable for a car of their caliber.
+yalej Thanks! They call this Verdant. You can count on much of what you see here going into the next updated Continental and Flying Spur. They're actually not too bad, but the driver assist tech of the Bentayga will make the big difference.
+Brian Makse Good news. I was thinking of the comparison of the tech in a new S63 coupe compared to a GT, for example.
what is this color ?
Interior is stunning
+nightrios0 It's exactly what you imagine it to be and the best part is that you can personalize it.
There he is again...Brian Maske...you just can't disappoint can you?
+TheQuestionMark When you only drive great cars on first drives, there's not much to be critical about. Mileage? Buyers don't care. Styling? It's subjective in the first place and the market has spoken - the first year's production is already sold out. We'll see when I have to live with it for a week.
+Brian Makse No i meant YOU can't disappoint. Your videos...they're always great...quality is what i'm talking about :)
+TheQuestionMark Thanks, and I sincerely appreciate it, but that's not true! Have you seen the comments on our Tesla video? Ford Focus ST? Man, they hate me over there.
I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
rich folks who are buying this SUV are not gonna take it off road.
Thanks Brian, I heard they may be doing a diesel version. It would help the range.
+daseteam LOL good one!
+Brian Makse Not a joke mate, they're actually doing a diesel version.
+Reginald R No. You're kidding. Actually, I'm being sarcastic. They're doing a diesel, a plug in hybrid, and a Speed model that'll have a coupe-like roofline.
And when you look at the styling it's just an upmarket Q7.
3:24, yea........ their all over ebay, can't unload them quick enough. Redundantmobile. Brian, choose your battles, this could not win, it's below you. We love your other vid's
Your channel deserves subscribers, and more views for the videos. Unless this is your side business. Just sayin. :)
+Piyush Arora Thanks! We agree - you're right on both counts.
Start with a website and a cool brand-name. Maybe you'll be the next Top Gear. Shoot me a message if you need any help.
+Piyush Arora We missed the proverbial boat on the branding, but we've got some interesting things coming up. Thanks again.
Looking forward to it. :)
Just want to show some support from the UK for a great video.
No doubt there will be a 14 year old along soon to say how things have been done wrong and that Bentley need to listen to them, but not before saying how a GT-R can go faster 0-60 and it will be a big disaster. :p
+Second Chance Thanks! Yes, I'm waiting for that, too.
Jealous. I want. How's the mileage?
+eddy han I never thought to consider it!
better shift paddles than the GT3-R. interesting.
+ChasLaw3 I think they're the ones from the Mulsanne, which are the ones they use in the GT3 race car.
+Brian Makse yeah I just think it's weird they didn't make it fit on the GT3R, instead of using the CGT parts bin piece. anyway, nice video...I'm really starting to like the Bentayga.
+ChasLaw3 I agree with you there. One can spec a wonderfully tasteful Bentayga, but there are so many options and customisations that we're going to see some - ahem - interesting colour combinations when they're on the road.
HEY HOW'S IT GOINGB YOU'VE GOT IT. SQUEAK WARLIKE WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ABOUT THIS,#GUYS
Price?.....don't say "if you have to ask!"
+EvenKeel It was implied.
mercedes gls is totally enough
Can't make any more attractive? Really?! How about Range Rover? That's a much more attractive design undoubtedly.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. And the Bentley's already sold out into its second year of production.
+Brian Makse if it is truly sold out, has more to do with the income inequality and that it only has only one (Range Rover Vogue and Autobiography) direct competitor. As a car guy, I would never pay $200K+ for what basically Audi Q7 with a big motor and a really nice interior. The ugliness fact, and yes it is a FACT, has to do that it neither has the finesse and presence of a Bentley Mulsanne nor the brutality of an LM002 or even a G65. And yes, folks in Miami Beach, Boca, OC and similar places will keep buying these for the first 2 years or so just because it is an "IT" car/truck just like were buying SC430, 650i convertibles, flying spur, ghosts, G63 and other "it" cars of the moment. As a marketing guy - I appreciate the effort. As a car guy - I am disgusted. It is what it is.
+Tim Tursonoff It's sold out well into MY2017, mate, and it's a global product that's not particularly an American thing. It's a lazy argument to suggest it's a tarted up Q7. Everybody's got an opinion, of course, which is what makes the world go 'round, but perspective is everything.
+Brian Makse one more thing: I bet that the fact that section 179 is back in full this year and this thing qualifies for it due the ridiculous weight, has a lot to do with the fact that they have been able to sell a few of these quick.
+Brian Makse global market my ass! I'm willing to bet that in the first 12 months of sales, US will account for 60%+ of global sales, of which California and Florida will account for 45%+. "Global market" was the target 4-5 years ago when they started planning for it. But now - there is only one market that really counts.
God! It's ugly...
horrid!!!
