Bentley Bentayga 1500 mile real-world review.

[@chrissv10tfsi]

- Mark cbay: Nope. That's when these really valuable, professional characters gets wasted. Like CH. These guys are doing their best when they doing their own reviews. It's honest, it's technical, and much more fun to watch than some staged clown stuff in TG where they mention only extraordinary technical details because the majority of their audience are not car people.

[@Hvitserk67]

Yes, that's a very good point. Chris Harris was vastly superior alone in his own KZbin channel. Harry is skilled, but like Chris Harris I think he is doing a better job here than he would do in a program like Top Gear.

[@erikhertzer8434]

[@victorkuria8068]

Harry is like an old zen master...ooozing with wisdom accrued over years of experience...you could seat for days just listen to him share his knowledge on cars and never get bored!!!!

[@lash9400]

Did he really manually adjust the rear seats on a 215k Bentley SUV ?

[@cameraready3388]

I was thinking the same

[@VincentSandfordofSEOsynovation]

Harry - its a positive feature that the car recogises all speed limits. Speaking from experience when driving thru Switerrland

[@robt8620]

I have always said part of the allure of the range rover was the lofty seating position with the low window position , this is the first time i hear a test reviewer mentioning the difference between Rangie and Bentayga ... i still prefer the looks of the Rangie .. Great review as always Harry

A lot of style, sincereness and splendid cars protrudes from Harry's videos. Blend of pure uniqueness.

[@PortugalCarp]

Great video Harry. Two things though, in France the motorway speed limits are 130 in the dry and 110 in the wet so most probably the cruise control is pick that up. Don't use the cruise control in the wet, it can bite you in the rear.

you sir have my dream job. living in a fine home, having a fleet of fine automobiles, and getting paid to look at cars and discuss AND drive some very valuable ones. i am envious, you set the bar so high i doubt anyone will dethrone you

[@JohnInSale]

Not seen this one before and really enjoyed it 👍🏻 I think I watched it as I’d bought my dad recently a second hand diesel one and the only word is “WOW” It replaced his BMW X5 3litre diesel , which he loved and was an awesome vehicle for his use, especially as it can seat 7, as he enjoys taking the grandkids out for drives and treats etc, but blimey the V8 diesel is something else We had it chipped and it’s got over 500hp & 1,000Nm and averages 35mpg The class and the interior and the ambiance and the smile it brings to his face is worth every penny They don’t do the diesel in the face-lifted version, but the older shape has aged well and is basically the same And it’s so much fun finding new Bentley “B’s” on a weekly basis when we pop out as a family for lunch 👍🏻

[@seancain7305]

Thanks for the excellent review Harry, as always. With the kind of cars you typically feature, I always feel we get a 'view' not just a 'review' from the kind of person who would / could actually buy & use the car, not just hand it back after the photo shoot. Regards the Bentayga - its excess in every which way to me, its polar opposite in everything I look for in a car.

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

quality review as always. Harry has the ability to tell it as it is without resorting to 'top gear' silliness. if he doesn't like something,he tells us what and why.

[@scotie690]

[@allensaunders449]

harry does great reviews takes his time goes indepth. I hear some negative comments on cars when needed

[@gootywooty]

I fully agree with you looks-wise. Quite a few people seem to think the car as a footballers' car which is beyond me, sure this car isn't meant to appeal to the masses in terms of looks, all it tries to do is carry on with B's design language. The front end certainly does that though not a fan of the indicators being blank in the middle, the rear is where they've lost it. Much too similar to the Q7, there definitely needs to be something to set the two apart, something more radical. Couple of the comments here compare it to a Touraeg, hard to see it as its based on the new Q7, sure they're owned by VAG but immediately assuming it looks like a VW? Childish. I can see people saying its a Q7 but seriously? a Touraeg? Anyway, fantastic review, glad to have found the channel.

Best Bentayga review by far. This man is the best

[@SilentdragonDe]

I personally really like the way the Bentayga looks. I mean it's a full size SUV so it's always going to look kind of like a big box. Not that my opinion really matters as I'm by no means able to afford one, but if I could, I would.

[@bmwman1981]

[@NicholasSpartan]

Harry an excellent video as usual. How come you don't have a Bentley inside your garage? A Continental GT ...

[@individual1977]

For that price there should be zero black plastic grills. Also the rear monitors should be able to disappear into the seat back with a push of a button. No?

[@visionist7]

They retract on the Mulsanne. This car has a lot of cheap touches like the sun visors and vanity mirrors which are straight off an Audi. The Mulsanne has glass switchgear too, not the plastic you see here. The Mulsanne will be missed.

[@robc5955]

Great video reviews and insight, personally I’ll never get to drive cars like this, but this is about as close as you can get to actually being there. So much better than others the passion the knowledge and just the simple stuff like actually seeing the engine, Clarkson was right I don’t want to see a four banger, but I do want to see a w12 or a big v8 with turbos which is where he gets it wrong. As others have said seeing these cars go sideways round tracks is so dysmal, but seeing them being used as intended - great.

[@lordhamptonwick5320]

Thank you Harry for another interesting video. I'm sorry but I'm one of those Englishmen who thinks that selling Rolls Royce and Bentley to the Germans was a mistake. It should never have happened, I'm ashamed that the money required to modernise both marques couldn't have been raised in the United Kingdom instead of Germany. In my opinion both marques look a bit gaudy since the Germans have owned them. It's a shame because they are beautifully made the workmanship is amazing. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@sameebah]

For fun driving I recommend flying into Chiang Mai, getting hold of a Hilux, and setting out to explore the "Mae Hong Son Loop" (plenty of videos on here to show it). I've spent 15 years learning it as far round as Mae Sariang, and loved every moment. Looking forward to getting the Ariel Nomad and tackling it without my wife screaming at me to slow down . . . .

[@SuperChi11]

Some little things about the interior are kind of off putting for one of the most expensive SUV's you can buy today. Such as the rear seats not having any type of automatic controls. You would think they would at least add a simple power forward and backward. And that squeak! Those detachable rear screens should have a way of going down automatically also I feel. It's kind of just stuck there. Also I notice a lot of plastic bits all around the interior. Doesn't really give off a $200K SUV feel to me.

[@landl190372]

Excellent review. Feel like I've lived with the car now. Thank you.

[@nigel.w]

Now from less than GBP90k for a four-year-old low-mileage example, I'm starting to get interested in the possibility of owning one. However, one thing I note is the mpg compared to the new Conti GT. As far as I understand it, the Bentayga was the first Bentley to get the heavily revised version of the W12 that's in the new Conti GT. Unless something dramatic changed in the two years between the launch of Bentayga and Conti GT, the difference in mpg Harry achieved on a run with both cars is about 8mpg in favour of the Conti GT. So, that seems to suggest that 8mpg is being lost mainly due to the greater air resistance and of course the extra weight. Amazing that it would equate to such a difference in fuel economy. Anyway, it's still not bad for such a big car with such a big engine, and for those who are really bothered there's diesel and now hybrid. Of course, with various places banning diesels, even those that are Euro 6d compliant, it means that if you want to run such a car on a daily basis, you're faced with a choice between the W12 or a V6 hybrid, and for me that means no choice but to choose the W12. I think I'd otherwise opt for an Audi Q7 or e-tron. It seems I am one of the few that like the R-R Cullinan. What can I say, other than I don't really like SUVs, but I think their practicality, ease of getting in/out, and greater visibility makes the case for them as daily drivers. Anyway, with the cheapest Cullinan being almost three times the price of the cheapest Bentayga, even though I think the Bentayga is uglier, looking more like a London taxi to me, I think the depreciation is making its case rather strongly. Of course, there's likely a lot more depreciation to come, but probably less over the next five years than buying a new Audi. And even though they're both VAG products on the same platform, even though I think R-R are a step or two above Bentley as far as quality goes, a used Bentayga seems to be hitting a sweet spot, being similarly priced to a well-optioned new Audi. Yeah, I'm now paying attention, which I really did not until now.

The windscreen has metal in it. You have to position the e-tag on the part that has the dots behind the rear view mirror. The dotted areas of the windscreen is free of the metal layer.

[@NLBassist]

I drive the Continental GT with V8 and W12 and despite the opinion of motoring journalists who prefer the V8, I much prefer the W12. The sound! I'm a bass player and it's the best bass sound in a car.

[@K2shadowfax]

Fabulous car...fabulous review, as ever. The only off-putting aspect, apart from the quarter-gazillion quid, would be those screens - 'in the faces' of those in the rear seats; whether the screen was 'installed' or 'removed', the black support left behind would be a dreadful spectacle to behold, imho. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

[@Tony-hj7bm]

your reviews are the best

[@markcox9167]

Great review again, Harry, but here's a thought... Late 1980's Rover 827 Sterling had electronically adjustable rear seats, late 1980's Granada Scorpio had electronically adjustable rear seats also. Were those rear seats on the Bentley mechanically operated, Harry? And before we all get excited about auto closing locks, Renault 25's had them in 1986! Over 200k and with some areas on this Bentley being cheap and nasty. Ouch.

[@markcox9167]

Forgot to mention the steering wheel looks like it's from a Fiat, namely the 500.

[@jagman999]

Good review as always Harry. That rear view mirror is also on the new Golf/Passat/Tiguan, so not too special really.

[@pauljoe780]

Harry, the car was helping you to keep your licence! If you`d slowed when it started raining, a sensible French regulation, there wouldn`t have been a "doomph" as the cruise control braked you down to 110kph. It`s a good thing. Drive properly and don`t get banned!
