Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

Bentley has gone bold with its first ever SUV. The Bentayga promises to raise the bar for upmarket off-roaders. It shares a fair chunk of its underpinnings with the current Audi Q7 SUV. We were surprised to discover that the new Bentley doesn't quite have the Range Rover's sense of occasion or kit count.

Pros

Fantastic off-road capability
Powerful V8 engine

Cons

Lacks up-to-date cabin tech

carmagazine^[2]

Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

VW Group’s 3.0-litre V6 is relatively seamless – but still abrupt enough to be noticed. It's quiet enough when driven sedately, with the electric motor helping it feel like a larger powerplant. But push harder and it's coarse and gravelly when revving, which sounds a tad uncouth. Performance is certainly brisk with 0-62mph taking 5.5sec, but those hoping for a proper wallop in the back will be somewhat disappointed.

Pros

Powerful V6
Comfortable to drive
Good range

Cons

Lacklustre performance
V6 lacks refinement
No 48v anti-roll bars

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

Bentley's new Bentayga Hybrid has a 3.0-liter V6 engine and 94-kilowatt electric motor. The battery pack can be recharged from a Level 2 (240-volt) outlet in 2.5 hours. The suspension does a fine job of ironing out road imperfections, even on 22-inch wheels.

Pros

Powerful V8 engine
Comfortable to drive
Easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons

Not as fun to drive as V8- or W12-powered models
Only 16 miles of electric range

digitaltrends^[4]

Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

The Bentayga Hybrid's greatest asset isn't its fuel efficiency or performance – it's the way it drives. Its copious torque and smooth, quiet operation are exactly the qualities this revered British automaker is known for. A full recharge from a standard household outlet takes 7.5 hours. Bentley offers a three-year warranty with unlimited mileage.

Pros

Elegant interior
Excellent off-road performance
Excellent infotainment system

Cons

No DC fast-charging option
No hybrid option
