2017 Bentley Bentayga | Road Test

Bentley continues to cash in on their exclusivity, but will it work in the SUV segment? We test the brand's first ever utility vehicle; the Bentayga.

MotorWeek runnin dat trap!

[@stonewalled9696]

Life is short - buy a Bentley. It’s just money.

[@sandofarms]

I'm glad this car exists. Helps a lot with perspective. Now that Cayenne pricing does look quite affordable.

[@TimJoseph08031990]

Yes the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk will beat this in 0-60 and 1/4 mile with the Hellcat engine, but the Grand Cherokee is built for speed and sporty driving. The Bentley Bentayga is meant to be built as an exotic luxury SUV with a fancy interior. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan will come out soon, but Rolls-Royce does't want us to call it an SUV, because they don't like anything with the word "Sport" in it.

[@Knoxvillicus]

Lmao the Trap music is so out of place, still love MotorWeek though

[@justrandomthings319]

So what would be "in place"? Rock music? Country music?

[@redthorn-gj7zu]

One day it would make such I see it coming

[@jacobg.witmer]

Rolls Royce is releasing an SUV called the "Cullinan"! Are you gonna review it too?

[@danagadoiii9032]

Whoa Whoa Whoa, lay off the spray tan..

[@TheJ602]

How the hell did they do 18.1

[@aomar9449]

I love the trap beat in the background. A subtle hint of the prospective buyer for this vehicle.

[@charlesmacgilchrist3648]

How did they rinse 18mpg from that?!

[@ekscalybur]

The engine isn't a slab of iron based off 60 year old tech. It's basically two VR6s put together in a V configuration.

[@jatinshangari2264]

at sum point.....looks just dnt matter.... only comfort n price tag matters!!!!!! this car is sitting bang on tht point ;)

[@1995RangeRover]

Guess it was coming sooner or later...

[@robertleejameswelch8383]

It'll be in the mid 80s in 3-4 years. I've already found them in the mid 100s

[@Aurora_v_cali]

I dont know why but it aged so fast

[@mhsvz6735]

Thanks.

[@Magnetorheological]

Seen a few of these on the road... Definitely does not look better in person.

[@Scars_House]

Doug Demuro show take over when the time comes

[@bliglum]

That's one expensive VW Touareg! Ugly too, from the front. The back looks okay.

[@ovm4816]

...y not make a 350hp bentayga that gets 20mpg????

[@jatinshangari2264]

plus dont understand y ppl keep sayings its expensive vw or audi.... guess these ppl dont eat out in good restaurants ...... as its always the same veggies or meat but we do pay 5-6 times more for the taste n experience..... and if u cant understand tht .... then bentleys r not for u :)

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

A Bentley at the drag strip.. a Bentley SUV at the dragstrip. I've never seen anything so preposterous

[@ekscalybur]

Then it runs low 12s.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

Eks calybur well sure but this will never go to the drag strip ever ever ever ever.

[@373axle]

If it's this fast, why would you not take it racing here and there. If you just want cruise down the boulevard, then it'd make more sense to get one of those classic Bentleys that are much slower and less expensive and probably have a more of a design statement to begin with.

[@weirdshibainu]

Almost 17 feet long? Quitters...

[@Lrules364]

Another crossover that looks like everything else on the road. Besides its front end and the engine, you would never be able to tell the difference between this, and literally any other crossover. But i guess paying $235,525 for a bunch of extra leather and fake plastic trim is worth it for a status symbol. This is a poor choice by bently that will cost them.

[@justrandomthings319]

"fake plastic trim". lol. Okay, kid.

[@josema6694]

The leather that's on the seats of the Bentayga is better than the one that's in your face.

[@dennispolyblank8428]

The people that produce luxury items like their jobs and those that "over consume". Grow up!

[@saadqureshi7127]

Id, rather get a masarati lavante instead and save 150k.

[@venom5809]

Are you getting ripped off? Yeah, but probably no more than you are on a Bentley sedan or any of the Rolls Royces anyway so there's that.

[@timswinson5693]

This first time I seen black people on motorweek

[@user-lj5iv7gf9p]

whats that in the back seat?!?!?!

[@tylercouture216]

496 527 a back seat

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Me and your mom.

[@maxtroy8511]

So for at least $145,000 less, you can go faster in a JGC Trackhawk. Interesting.

[@uberenthusiasts]

But you will still be driving a Jeep and not a Bentley. People who buy Bentleys couldn't give two shits about a cheap ass Jeep.

[@alexandereverhart654]

If all you care about is performance and cheap, then go for the Jeep. With the Bentley, your are getting performance and LUXURY. You'll get a ton of everyday noise in the Jeep. In the Bentley, you wouldn't even hear the yells from a large band of commoners, let alone everyday traffic noise. The Jeep pretty much uses pleather, in the Bentley, you'll get the finest leather in the world along with an intoxicating smell. In the Jeep, you'll have plastic everywhere, and it smells like it. In the Bently, the only thing plastic would be your wife's boobs. In the Bentley everything that looks like metal IS METAL. No chrome plated plastic like the commoners are used to. Carpets? Enjoy your cheap plastic fibers in the Jeep, because in the Bentley, you will only find some of the finest wool available. It's the sum of the materials and the prestige. Is the Bentley worth it? Depends on your financial means and taste.

[@justinbig10]

You guys should really shut the hell up about the price! For someone that's a millionaire or billionaire, the price of this Bentley is peanuts! Doing the math on this and you'll see that it comes out to roughly $5000 a month over 5 years. Do you think that someone like Bill Gates or Tom Brady would care about $5k a month for their wife or gf ( because this SUV definitely has a feminine look to it)?! This car wasn't made for us hourly wage slaves but for owners and ballers, so shut up and enjoy the vid!

[@junito1008]

The Bentayga looks like its name sounds...Ugly !!

[@TJC450]

First off that rear end is ugly. And secondly I'm surprised by all of the racist comments! sad!

[@Leo-ok5qi]

Capitalism at it's best 😉

[@jameswalsh6131]

That is one ugly SUV. I think it might look better in a darker color..but even then it is very plain looking. Then again it's not like I could afford one lol.

[@wyattcram5725]

He has not aged well

[@NegocioCapitalPartners]

Get some better test subjects unless you are looking to confirm racist intentions.

[@Overqualified1]

Biko Thuon Miguna Only looked through the comments to see how long it would take for someone to point out the fact that there was a black guy in the video for 3 seconds. You fuckers are obsessed.

[@nikolanikola8543]

Biko Thuon Miguna Honestly...... STOP bringing race all the time...... You are the worst racists.....

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Ugly headlamps , silly name , poor reliability on engine.
