If it's not zero, then the percentage of Bentley owners who have only a single vehicle almost certainly rounds to zero. And the more vehicles a person has, the higher the likelihood is that one of them is an SUV. The 2025 Bentayga gives Bentley buyers a suitable vehicle for shuttling the family or towing upward of 7,700 pounds, all while ensconced in a level of opulence the Flying Spur and Continental GT have accustomed them to. Even the base plug-in hybrid is sufficiently powerful, and with the optional turbo V8, the Bentayga accelerates harder than anything this large should.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Bentley Bentayga V8 4dr SUV AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.72 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: Decision paralysis

One of the primary differentiators between the Bentayga and lesser luxury SUVs is the degree of customization the Bentley offers buyers. Over 80 paint colors are available, divided among solid, metallic, satin and pearlescent finishes. There are five wheel designs, each offered in three finishes. Inside, buyers choose from 15 colors of leather, with another eight available to accent the main shade in your choice of two-tone color splits. You'll also have to decide if you want contrast stitching, which type of contrast stitching you want — there are two options there — and whether you also want contrast piping. Then, just choose one of nine wood veneers — with or without metal inlays — or piano black, piano linen, brushed aluminum or carbon-fiber trim. It makes the choice between plug-in hybrid V6 and V8 seem simple.

Competitors to consider

Just as the Porsche Cayenne kicked off the performance-SUV craze, the Bentley Bentayga — which shares its basic architecture with the Cayenne — inaugurated a new era of ultra-luxury SUVs. The Aston Martin DBX and Lamborghini Urus are sportier alternatives, the Aston packing 697 horsepower and the Lambo — which is also related to the Bentayga and Cayenne — boasting up to 789 horses. Shoppers focused purely on luxury and armed with a flexible budget will find the Rolls-Royce Cullinan to be suitably swank, but the toughest decision facing Bentayga buyers might be between the standard-wheelbase model and the extended wheelbase (EWB), which we review separately.

We drove the 2024 Bentley Bentayga on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Bentayga drive? Part SUV and part Saturn V rocket, the Bentayga makes as much of a statement as its styling. In our testing of a V8 model, the Bentayga blasted from 0 to 60 mph in a scant 3.8 seconds. The burly V8 soundtrack is cool too. Acceleration is effortless, befitting a true luxury vehicle. Braking and handling capability are nearly up to the same level but lack the feel they should have at this price. There's also some grabbiness to the pedal, which can make it difficult to stop smoothly around town.

Multimode terrain settings and an air suspension enable commendable off-road performance. With no limited-slip differentials, it's the braking system and the air suspension that get the Bentayga where it needs to go. The on-road tires are also a limiting factor.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Bentayga? The Bentayga checks all the boxes in this category. This SUV no doubt sets the standard for the class, from its supremely comfortable front seats to near vault-like silence at high speeds. The seats are supportive, supple and exceedingly comfortable even over long distances.

No matter the Bentayga's speed, very little road or wind noise is allowed to enter the cabin. But the 22-inch wheel and tire package did somewhat compromise the ride on less than perfect surfaces. The somewhat plain-looking and somewhat flat rear bench seat is also a blemish, although it can be optioned with heating and ventilation for the outboard seats or replaced with more luxurious captain's chairs.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The Bentayga benefits from being not too high off the ground — it's easy to get in and out of, and forward visibility is excellent. The view over the broad hood gives you a commanding view of the road and your position on it.

Drivers can get comfortable immediately, and the multitude of seat adjustments allow for detailed fine-tuning for the perfect position. The infotainment system and center console layout have done wonders for the Bentayga's interior. It's now fully modern but has a hint of traditional luxury. Rear passengers have plenty of legroom and headroom.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The 10.9-inch touchscreen looks crisp and modern and is relatively easy to navigate. The handwriting recognition feature works great, and the voice control system responds well to fairly natural language. High marks also go to the optional Naim audio system for its impressive sound quality.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work over a wireless connection. USB ports exist for front and backseat passengers, and the wireless charging pad offers plenty of room for larger phones. Most of the Bentayga's driver aids are well calibrated with the exception of the hands-free lane keeping assistance. It's a bit clumsy in its operation and can bounce the Bentayga around between lane markers.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? There's adequate cargo space for an SUV of this size. The folding split rear seats allow easy storage for a bicycle should you be inclined. Curiously, Bentley didn't trim the cargo area with any real luxury touches; open the rear liftgate and you're not going to see anything special. Interior storage isn't overly abundant either, but it is practical and keeps items secure. For small-child duty, the Bentley's wide doors and relatively low ride height mean it's easy to get safety seats and children in and out.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates that the Bentayga V8 will get 16 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Yet in our testing we found that typical driving can net you a mere 10 mpg. Don't trust the trip computer's mpg calculations either; it's wildly optimistic.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Bentayga a good value? Customization is the name of the game, and Bentley does it as well as anyone. The quality of the seats, stitching, leather and paint is exceptional, and the Bentayga stands head and shoulders above its rivals here. Knurled finishes on many surfaces lend a watch-like quality to many small parts.

Service and customer care are beyond what most car buyers will ever know, but you will pay for that privilege. Every part of the Bentayga is covered under a three-year/unlimited mileage warranty; that goes for the traditional bumper-to-bumper warranty and powertrain components as well.

Wildcard

8.5/10

Exclusivity, status, and the ability to flaunt both of them at any time are what the Bentayga is all about. Even in an era where the SUV is ubiquitous, the Bentayga stands out. There are better-equipped luxury vehicles, and even less expensive ones, but almost nothing competes with the Bentayga.

Despite your best efforts at restraint, you'll wind up flexing all that power and having moments of warp speed just because you can. You can even chuck the Bentayga around with some abandon. Physics will eventually catch up with you, but not many other motorists will.

Which Bentayga does Edmunds recommend?

The base Bentayga is our choice because it offers the widest variety of options of the lineup. While higher-spec vehicles include more standard equipment, most of it can be added to the base model, and only certain options are available on the pricier trims. We prefer the standard grille over the vertical chrome vanes of the A and Azure trim levels, and the S limits the number of wheel options.

Software problems with new electronics

Larry Keller, 08/28/2018

2018 Bentley Bentayga Black Edition 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 12cyl Turbo 8A)

This is our fourth Bentley that we have owned. We purchased a 2018 Bentagya in November 2018. Currently we have 7200 miles on it and this is what we have encountered. This generation of Bentley has a new set of electronics compared to the last three we owned. We do not like this new set of electronics, the car is very unpredictable and not user friendly. We do not feel this is a SUV that … you can relax and drive. You need to be attentive to certain situations that can occur. For example every time you turn on the air conditioner and / or heater, you must set your settings each time, (windshield, dash vents, or floor). You need to press more buttons to get the system to work. I have figured out that you need to set up the air system before you start driving due to the time to set up and not looking at the road. The driver door does not close automatically and will cause the parking brake to come on, whenever you stop. See more in other paragraph. Bentley has also designed a shut off mode for the motor, that is on unless you turn it off each time you start the car. If you forget to shut off that button or change modes, watch out. You will go to push the gas at a stoplight and nothing will happen, then about the count of 3, BAMMMMM!!! Your car shoots off thru the light. We have almost rear ended several cars because of this. You go to push the gas and nothing happens, you wonder what happened, and then it starts and rockets off. The front end collision braking system has activated several times on me, and once on my wife, when there was nothing close to the front of the car. When this occurs it almost throws you thru the windshield and makes you nervous each time you see the red light in the dash light up. The biggest problem we have had is the driver door will not shut automatically with the motor all the time. Sometimes it shuts and sometimes it does not. If you restart the car, it will work (electronics). We took it to the dealer; they tried to update the system with a software update. It did not work. Our door still does not close and now they want to order the part to fix it. I think it is more of an electrical problem than part, but we will see. The day before we had the car in for service, I had a low tire light come on, so I asked them to fix it. I was told when I picked up the car that they could not fix the tire because the tread was too low and it was against their policy to fix tires in that tread range. Keep in mind that the car only had 6900 miles on it at that time. So my question is, are the tires on the Bentagya only good for 10,000- 12,000 miles? I guess so. Expect to replace your tires after the first year of driving, due to the cheap tires they are putting on them. This Bentagya is not the SUV that we were hoping for when we purchased it. With what we have encountered so far, I would suggest a Range Rover and save yourself $130,000.
