It's still not pretty but wins the beauty pageant against the Cullinan...now that is horrendous. I saw a black one the other day, it looked like a Geely trying to do a knockoff of a Rolls Royce.

As for the name Bentley Bentayga, sounds like an academy player coming through the ranks at Arsenal.

I’m sure it’s a lovely place to sit but that car is a massive fk you to every other road user IMO. Both in terms of aesthetics and size.
And so it should. What's wrong with choice? Plus, I don't think it's actually as big as you think it is, particularly on, say, American roads where this would be classed as a mid-size SUV - have you ever seen the current Chevrolet Suburban?

This beast is almost 19 feet or 5.7 metres long... Bentayga is, in comparison 5.14 metres or around 16.8 feet long.

The two new options they've forgotten to mention is a driving mode spray tan facility plus laser teeth whitening option that most owners are expected to specify.

Why should a car be a fk you to everyone else?

And this isn't America.

I quite like the quilted leather, that's about it though.
Estimates for the cost of replacing that rear seat controls tablet at 5 years old anyone?

I don't think the range will be complete until they launch the Bentayga coupe. Perhaps make it 2 doors and slam the body down to try and make it handle.

That'll be the real deal.

Because there's a market for people wanting a car like that; Bentley, Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz et al simply cater to market demand - that's why. And 'this isn't America'? What are you on about?? America is Bentley's biggest market...

A typical example of bad made worse. I'm kinda shocked one could look at it and think it's good looking in any possible way.

I am not a fan of the new chavvy craze where the manufacturers name is glued across the back "B E N T L E Y"

When I buy one I will be out with the hairdryer and dental floss straight away.

Sounds good but I think it only offends a small minority in reality IMO.

If they make a few bob for Bentley fair enough.
A rare sight in any case.

I prefer the front end on this to the current car, the rear lights are a bold choice

Interiors are a level above most of the competition imo

If I had the means, I'd have one

I was the first to slag these off when they appeared on the scene but having seen a few in the flesh i can see why they've been a hit. This face lift (like the Conti) makes it look even more classy. Well done them. Would if i could afford.

You can just spec it without the letters.
