Bantayga - anyone here own one? What is it like?

[458man]

Been seeing a few of these lately and I took one for a test drive when they were launched and fell in love with it. I could not however, get myself to stump £200k on a 4x4 so I resisted temptation. Been seeing a lot of these pop up for sale around the £150k mark now so prices are coming down pretty rapidly as expected for a massive petrol engine 4x4.

Wondered if anyone here runs one and how they have behaved since you picked up the car? With the launch of the new diesel and a 7 seat option now available these seem more practical.

It looks like a bugeyed Cayenne. A very expensive Q7 that I would not entertain either

Have you driven one? Funny how people make all these assumptions without having first hand experience of the car. Go and drive one and you will immediately realise it's a few light years ahead of a Cayenne and Q7.

I don't own one and I haven't driven one but I've had a good look at a couple of Bantayga's in a local dealership and have to say they look better in the metal. It's also obvious that they exude quality. That said, they are very expensive compared to their rivals.

They sure are hence why the comparisons with the usual 4X4s is a bit surprising. There is really nothing else out there that can match the qualities of the big B for now.
