V8 Bentayga: A PROPER Bentley! - Full Review

Welcome back to RBR my friends!! And to the New Bentayga V8! Big thanks to CTEK Chargers for sponsoring today's episode! Pick up the features products below and support RBR and our sponsors!!:

The last time we featured a Bentley it was the iconic continental W12, and we looked at the complicated history of the brand, leading up to their most well-known car!

Today we look at their least traditional offering, the luxury SUV Bentayga.
This is the V8 Bentley Bentayga in all its facelift Glory. It’s been updated to match the Conti and fly-spying spur in its facelift look, bringing the whole family in line visually, along with some significant updates inside.

So let’s check out this Verdant Green #Luxury V8 facelift #Bentayga. The story began with the 2012 - #Bentley EXP 9 F: Very much the brainchild of Bentley Chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer, he was also product chief of Porsche and pushed the cayenne through opposition back then! Undoubtedly the biggest success story for them also may explain why the first Bentayga looked so gen-1 cayenne from the year! The reception to this concept’s design was exceedingly negative, I mocked it too back then, yet when I look at it now… I think it’s aged exceedingly well. Maybe we weren’t ready for it then

The original thus played it a bit safer. A more round look, mimicking the conti from back then, similar lights front and back too. And the car was well received and did some amazing sales as now their best selling model. Last year it accounted for 37% of sales! Mind-blowing.

Now it’s been facelifted. And every panel has been redesigned from the front end, matrix grille is now more upright, new headlights cut crystal glassware and overall a more blocky, less round design. But crucially, in line with continental. Some details outside like the side wing with a lovely B motif are carried inside later.

It has a new full-width tailgate, via a 20 mm increase to the rear track width brings dynamic benefit and repositions the wheels in their arches to improve the car’s stance. The best part of the rear are the Conti style 3D elliptical tail-lights with animated LEDs and a Larger rear spoiler.

The Portland and Cumbrian green leather
Interior features all-new seats and trim, and increased rear legroom. Main benefit is the next-generation infotainment system with a 10.9-inch screen, CarPlay/android auto as standard, and a smart digital driver zone.

But how does the Bentayga compare to a slew of luxury and super SUVs in this crowded market, can it make its mark?? Today we explore:

I see your comments on the design, and I see I’m alone on this one. 🤣

[williamborden]

Couldn’t tell what was real anymore, the editing is too good lmao.

[mufc]

These edits are too lit cause they don’t look fake whatsoever 🔥

[ANDRE_]

What perfect timing we put a deposit for ours a couple of weeks ago it should be here at the end of March, I am very interested to watch your review and what you have to say about the car.

[turbine]

Excellent review, you covered just about everything, I can't fault your Vid. Great Vid and many thanks

[frankie]

The back lights looks like someone that has pink eye ...

[Carreraboy]

Glad to see the w124, keep it forever!

[unknownl]

I loved the concept more cuz it reminded me of the mulsanne

[paulcruse]

Thanks for this, really useful to compare them. If you have somewhere I can sit and stare at them side by side, inside and out, that would be 💯

[jmaxim]

I'm sorry, I prefer the previously model, especially the rear. And it doesn't need to say Bently, you know it is a Bentley

[turbine]

The one reason you feel so great driving the Bentayga, its British, hand made from the guys at Crew.

[redbeardpro]

RAZ! Please tell us how you are able to find all the car images at the same angle for the edits!!!! It boggles the mind!

[leifandersen]

How many ordinary people can afford a car like this ? Not many !

[edgargomes]

You're right RAZ.In 2012 i found it so ugly too.N now I also think it aged well.like you've said think we weren't ready for it.Now a days it would sell really well I think.LOVE THE CONTENT N THE CHANNEL.👌🏽👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼👊🏽👊🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️ FROM ROTTERDAM 💪🏽👊🏽👍🏼

[gv]

Those are the ugliest rear lights I’ve ever seen. Rest is amazing

[mray]

Saw you in Westfield on Sunday in the Edition one booting around the car park

[lead]

This thing is a different kind of drip.

[verhu]

It looks better but still just go with the RS Q8

[jmcghie]

Bentley needs to be a little more careful with the design of their top selling car. The rear looks like two cars piled on top of each other at a junk yard.

My wife really wants one of these and having had a look at a local demonstrator, the interior makes you forget the outside completely. These must never be bought in black as they are a Taxi disaster BUT in a nice specification, colour and as a Speed model, then I would buy one very happily. The revised looks…the front is better and the old back needed work but this new rear just looks awkward and an afterthought….I think the old design was more harmonious but has also aged very quickly. However…to all those haters, if you can, just sit in one and you may well change your mind..you don’t care if people dislike it, you do and you know why. Raz…thank you…but I have a highly spec’d Cayenne Turbo on my open tabs and it is a good £75000 less than the Bentayga I configured today…hmmm….🤔🤔🤔😃😃😃😃😃
