I think I prefer the rear quarter view to the front, but I quite like it - good job!

Re: New Bentayga
That’s the goal with this one, keep the drive and try to fix the aspects that put some people off. Apart from style, the infotainment is a huge leap forward, bang up to date latest and greatest system and there’s more room in the back.Tp81 wrote:Big improvement in terms of looks. I drove the old one on a test drive, I hated the look but was amazed by the drive, better than the old Bently Continental GT.
It’s really nice to finally see it properly, I’ve spent the last years driving around with it covered in black matting inside and out!
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I get that, but it meets its brief perfectly and tends to get used as the daily drive by most customers.
Re: New Bentayga
Nice update. When seen parked up next to the hideous Cullinan lean-to shed you realise just how well proportioned it actually is.

Not sure about the exact Bentayga numbers, but generally US is biggest, closely followed by Europe (less UK), then China, UK and everyone else.arminius wrote:Looks good!

Re: New Bentayga
You’ve definitely sold at least 2 in the UK. There’s one that delivers children to a private school near me every day and the bloke from Pimlico Plumbers has one.

Seen three spanky newbies here in Kuwait. One treated to a matt purple wrap and a Supreme sunstrip already by it's barely-pubed owner. Continouous curfews, commercial lockdown and a flat local economy certainly hasn't curbed tasteless conspicuous spending for some.

Re: New Bentayga
I’m surprised at 20k sold, that seems like a big number. I would assume that rates as a success for Bentley?

Neighbour must work for your competition AM. He brought home their SUV and I thought it sounded nice. Although still a racing sofa.

Re: New Bentayga
I used to hate SUVs, ... I mean what is the point? Need room, buy an estate. However the wife is on her second Macan, now a Macan TT. It is fun, but generally I would rather drive my S4 Avant on a daily basis. My wife is small, short and I understand why she likes it ...
The new Bent is an improvement, no doubt. As a FU statement; I want a GWagen!
