Used 2021 Bentley Continental Convertible Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Bentley Continental GT is a four-passenger luxury coupe that is also available as a convertible. Its two trim levels are primarily distinguished by their engines. The Continental GT V8 is powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (542 horsepower, 568 lb-ft of torque), and the Continental GT packs a turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine (626 hp, 664 lb-ft). An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission powers all four wheels through a standard all-wheel-drive system.

Continental GT V8
The base V8 coupe comes with many luxurious features, but the most notable ones include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Adaptive air suspension with ride height control
  • Full LED exterior lighting with automatic high-beam headlights
  • Soft-close doors
  • Center trunk pass-through (for longer cargo)
  • Heated and power-folding outside mirrors
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Simulated suede headliner
  • Leather upholstery
  • Wood veneer trim
  • Heated front seats with memory function
  • Cooled and lockable glove compartment
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay integration
  • Navigation system

    • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
    • Passenger safe-exit system (can prevent a passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
    • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
    • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

Continental GT
The 12-cylinder Continental GT builds on the V8's features list with:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Bentley Dynamic Ride (a system that keeps body roll in check while cornering)

Which Continental trim does Edmunds recommend?

The top Continental GT trim packs the more powerful W12 engine, but you won't find much of a performance advantage over the base V8 model. That's why we recommend opting for the Continental GT V8 that comes equipped with nearly identical features. Get the Mulliner Specification for additional luxury and customization or the Touring Specification if you like advanced driver aids.
