Used 2021 Bentley Flying Spur Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Bentley Flying Spur is a large luxury sedan that sits atop Bentley's lineup. For 2021, the Flying Spur is available with either a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (542 hp, 568 lb-ft of torque) or a 6.0-liter turbocharged W12 (626 hp, 664 lb-ft of torque). Both are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Features and options are generally the same for both models, meaning the only difference is what's under the hood. Both models are very well equipped and offer a seemingly endless amount of customization.

Standard features include:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Air suspension (can raise or lower the ride height of the vehicle)
  • Active stabilizer bars and adaptive suspension dampers (can automatically adjust to improve handling or ride comfort)
  • Rear-wheel steering (enhances maneuverability)
  • Retractable Bentley hood ornament
  • Heated and ventilated front and outboard rear seats with massage
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Onboard Wi-Fi hotspot

Advanced safety features include:

  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane is in your blind spot)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Flying Spur and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with no driver intervention)
  • Night-vision function

The Flying Spur offers a number of additional options, such as:

  • Illuminated hood ornament
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Rotating central display (rotates to show the touchscreen, analog gauges or a trim veneer)
  • Lambswool carpets
  • Configurable ambient lighting
  • Wireless charging pad
  • 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • 19-speaker Naim audio system
  • Rear-seat entertainment system
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Bentley and the car in front)

As with all Bentleys, the Flying Spur can be tailored to fit the buyer's desires. Available customizations include:

  • Knurled vent and button surrounds
  • Numerous wood veneer choices
  • Steering wheel with perforated leather
  • Contrasting stitching and seat piping
  • Personalized kick plates

Some features, such as a leather headliner and 22-inch wheels, can only be ordered as part of the Mulliner Driving Specification personalization package. Also of note is the First Edition model, which bundles several of the above features and customization options, plus unique First Edition badges.

Which Flying Spur trim does Edmunds recommend?

You won't go wrong with either version of the Flying Spur, but we suggest going with the less expensive V8 model. It loses little in terms of performance and handles better than its W12-powered sibling.
