Range Rover V8 vs Bentley Bentayga V8S

Battle of the ultimate luxury SUVs!
If you're after the ultimate luxury SUV, there's a good chance that these two cars - the Bentley Bentayga and the all-new Range Rover - are at the very top of your shopping list. And why wouldn't they be? Both provide the performance of a sports car, the refinement, quality and space of a chauffeur car, and the practicality of a family SUV. Yes, these really are cars that can do everything.
The newer car of the pair is the Range Rover P530. It sits on an all-new platform, and this high-spec version comes fitted with a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 banging out 523bhp, making it capable of sprinting from 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds, despite being the size of a small planet.
It faces the Bentley Bentayga V8S, a racier version of the regular V8 version. It has the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 as the regular Bentayga V8, which is down on size compared to the Range Rover's engine, but it's actually more powerful, punting out a mammoth 542bhp for a 0-62mph sprint time of 4.5 seconds. However, the big difference between the V8S and the regular Bentayga V8 is that it comes with a revised air suspension for sharper handling.
So which of these two hugely powerful - not to mention, hugely expensive - luxury SUVs is best? In this CarGurus UK video twin test, Vicky Parrott answers that very question by taking a detailed look at our contenders' performance, ride, handling, refinement, quality, technology and practicality.

The Range Rover is always the answer. Specially comparing it to that British Touareg

[@katisop5991]

Only fair to skin Bentley down to VW Group, and not do the same to JLR and whoever owns them i'm embarrassed on their behalf to even mention it.

[@danielmiller9012]

Bentley superior performance, brand cachet, materials quality/fit and finish.

[@jimj2683]

The range rover is just a cheap old defender with makeup on. It drives like trash and has a cheap and cramped interior.

[@BenzinioB]

Easily Bentayga for me! Both with a lot to like but RR is way to big, I personally find the split tail-gate stupid and there is still a issue with the reliability. Great interior though, really like it.

[@Kelveron]

One objective that wasn't covered in the final analysis was build and material quality, where Bentley is easily superior. Otherwise a very good review.

24' RR Autobiography for me! An amazing ride on 23s, looks great, and is a true SUV. The ride position, the room and space makes it stand out from the crossover SUV look and size. The rear executive seats with hot stone massage and conforming headrests are amazing. Its also a bargain compared to the Bentley and the Rolls Royce.

@@Alan-321reliability and price point and target market??? And even at that a new Range Rover and previous gen L405 have better off road figures than a LC200 and LC300, it’s also much better on the road in terms of comfort and handling, it’s overall a much more versatile vehicle, the LC prevails in pretty much just longevity and load capacity and price, but even at that price you’re getting less car, it’s a silly argument to put forth when the Range Rover is a luxury vehicle, you don’t catch the UN running around in Lexus LX570’s or LX600’s which are luxury versions of the Land cruiser, it’s 2 separate markets, for 2 vehicles made for 2 separate needs/wants.

Very well done review! Bentley for me. Once had a RR and got rid of it, felt like a wallowing pig to the point of feeling dangerous.

Lol I don't believe this. I'm 6'2" tall and had a tiny yaris hatchback in the past. I never had any issue of my head hitting the roofline or struggling to enter the car. So how's a car as massive as the bentayga give such issues? Be real man

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

Great review thank you. I love that both cars offer a different approach and their own distinct character. For me, it would be the Range Rover without hesitation. Beautiful looking vehicle and I love the interior design, i think JLR have done an amazing job.

[@Garcia061]

I was trying to choose between these two for a while. I had a pre order for a L460 AB and sold it with a 40k profit. But then went back with the RR anyway. The Bentley seats and suspension are just not tuned right for something that’s going off road. Which in my case it has to. If you’re just pounding tarmac the Bentley is nice. But it’s way more limited.

[@arbimd2]

Range Rover is like the IPhone of Cars 😂. Their owners think they are better than everyone else

[@willwonka1325]

Both gorgeous but RR for me

[@sweetfreedomGB]

As a drivers car and for the interior it has to be the Bentley. I like the range rover but the interior is abit too Volvo for me and it's simply getting too wide for our lanes.

RANGE ROVER 🔥❤️👑

[@sgsuper1150]

The hight of the range rover bonnet is dangerous head hight should it hit a standard car.

[@3204clivesinclair]

Both great cars. But the delivery times (for me) would be unacceptable. 12-24 months for the RR. It would have had at least one facelift during that time. My advice, did it recently. Go into a dealer and ask what models they have already in build. Or buy one from stock. Ordering to build times are ridiculous.

[@jimj2683]

I agree.

[@Offensivebeast]

The fully electric version is said to be released in 2024, I doubt a facelift would take place in 2 years, maybe in 4-6 based off how they facelift Range Rovers in the past and there is a good few of these popping up for sale every now and then depending on where you are in the world, but you’re advice of popping into a dealer is pretty smart.

[@mmcbey1401]

For me, reliability (or lack of it) would be a game-changer. All Land Rovers have been the most unreliable of all cars for years. What good is a car if there are constant problems with it?

[@brandanzhu5304]

The Bentayga range has much more variety than the Range Rover. You can get that azure models which become more comfortable than the Range Rover, or you can get the s which makes it much sportier with a firmer suspension, or get one of the fastest suvs in the world with the speed. Or the EWB if you want to be chauffeured. If you want a more fuel efficient car, u can get a hybrid.

What about the 1000 horsepower Model X? Gas cars seem so underpowered

[@Offensivebeast]

Horsepower isn’t everything, and the Model X doesn’t compare to these 2 by any metric other than tech and acceleration, luxury and interior goes to these 2 all day, driving experience as well, off road ability without a doubt, towing as well, design overall yep, practicality lmao, longevity is debatable but if you maintain these 2 they’re far less likely to total themselves out like the model X will after a decade, and since they came out in 2016 and you can already find variants of the model x in the 40s and a new battery is around 22, the story writes itself and we’ve already seen this situation too many a time with the Model S, and the Model X has a drag coefficient that’s only 0.05 better than the Range Rovers even though the Model X is horrendously ugly and poorly proportioned to lessen drag, I’d rather a good looking SUV over an almost irrelevant amount of drag, not to mention the disadvantages of having an EV in todays world over the irrelevant benefit for people who buy such vehicles like the Bentley and Range Rover, also EV’s with similar power to weight ratios often feel the same and have no defining character or feel, and even then after a few pulls in any performance focused EV it gets a bit boring and predictable, the only times it’s fun is when you see a Ferrari 458 in your rear view, and that situation barely occurs for any justification. These 2 yachts with wheels make a model x look an Americans take on a Nissan Juke with some batteries underneath it.

[@Offensivebeast]

A lot do mention the fact that Land Rover has a history of unreliability, but they don’t stay on the subject for long, journalists want to be able to receive cars again, but they have actually improved on reliability especially with the new ingenium inline 6 engines, which have been pretty good on the new Defender and new Range Rover and new Range Rover Sport so far, the inline 3 and 4 irritations found in other models are okay as well, but they need very strict servicing, the 4.4 V8 in the new Range Rover models is okay in terms of reliability but it’s not the one to go for if you want reliability, however there’s still issues with software and electronics, I know of one press car where the door handles stopped working and it had a few other electrical related issues, and I’ve heard of other new Range Rovers with similar issues, so mechanically they seem a lot better, everything else seems slightly better or the same.
