Stefan Sielaff: the Bentayga Speed’s design will represent a “big change”.

For the other side:

Hopefully the change in the current design is significant, there is nothing to lose. After the disappointing design of the Cullinan, I need a joy.

And a name change

Rhys Millen has set a new production SUV record at Pikes Peak in a Bentley Bentayga W12, setting a time of 10min 49.902secs. The previous record was held by Land Rover’s Range Rover Sport, which completed the course in 12min 35.610sec four years ago.

Imagine bragging to someone that your Bentagya holds the suv lap record at Pikes Peak.

I saw one of these outside my local supermarket. It's freshing to increasingly see a car at this price level being driven casually like a VW golf. The Bentayga is increasingly becoming a common sight.

Oh those first world problems...

They kind of are though... I don’t know about other metros but the burbs of DC are filled with this SUV

It's an encouraging sign for car manufacturers - especially Land Rover who should strongly consider an ultra flagship model above the full fat Range Rover. Otherwise the Bentyga will occupy a sweet-spot between it and the ultra expensive Cullinan.

Although an SUV below the Cullinan is not in the pipeline, it's inevitable. Young and rich buyers buying $1500 sneakers are too hard to ignore and to them the Cullinan like the Phantom are not cool enough. The Ghost and black badge label shows that RR do pay attention to changing customer demographics.

It’s absolutely mind boggling how much people are spending on a set(s) of wheels. In the 90s if you bought an E class you were in the top echelon of consumers on the road; now everyone and their mother drives a car in its class

I know people are getting $50-70k discounts on these; for a while sales fell flat and dealerships didnt know what to do with the heavy stock. I dislike the car, but I won't deny that it's become a moderately popular car.... meaning it has accomplished it's set task.

There are now 2 Bentagya's on my block.

^ Jealous of that new Dawn though.

The largest discounts I have seen is 15% on factory orders on the diesel model. It’s best to think of the Bentyga like the mk1 Cayenne. Not classically beautiful on the outside but utterly fantastic behind the wheel.

2018 U.S. sales don’t seem to Be insanely high but after 2 years on the market they are definitely accumulating in wealthy neighborhoods. My mother has been eyeing them lately, which I find interesting because she has expressed the Bentayga didn’t look special enough (exterior) in the past.

U.S. Sales numbers for the curious: Bentley Bentayga US car sales figures

The Bentyga is not as out of reach as some people might think. I've seen several with 6,000-8,000 miles selling similar money as delivery mileage RR Autobiography or RRS SVR. With superior leather, veeners, engine, refinement, customer service and the delight of distinguishing oneself from the less wealthy, the Bentyga is clearly worth considering.

 

[hovabongZA]

The diesel ....I like it. Maybe it’s the badge but I prefer it to the Range Rover.

 

[Centurion]

This is not the most obvious spec but the juxtaposition of stealth green against the "happy ambience" created by the salmon pink and bone white. I like this spec......a lot.

Some of us loathe the exterior of the Bentyga I can't think of an interior from another manufacturer that better lends itself to imagination.

 

[Serpens]

That color combo is hideous to me. When it comes to green exteriors, the only interior combos I like are some variation of brown/tan or sometimes black.

Yeah it's not everyone's cup of tea. Bowser on the outside and Princes Peach on the inside.

 

[Laurent T]

The interior of the Continental GT looks so much better than the Bentayga's. Difficult to believe that only something like one year separates both...

 

[Serpens]

Having been in the Bentayga, I can still say the interior is top notch. It is rather unfortunate it is stuck with the same interior design motif as the last gen Continental rather than getting the updated interior styling of the current Conti.
