In a world rife with SUVs, it can be difficult to stand out. But the 2020 Bentayga manages to make a statement no matter where it goes. Power and build quality are deeply impressive, and customization is nearly unlimited. But this luxury SUV also has some significant shortcomings.
2020 Bentley Bentayga Review
Pros
- Incredible luxury and craftsmanship
- Powerful engine and quick acceleration
- Legitimate off-road capability
- Optional seating for up to seven
Cons
- Base trim lacks a few key features, especially at this price
- Limited rear-seat and cargo room

- Part of the first Bentayga generation introduced for 2016
Overview

The Bentley Bentayga is a large luxury SUV from this Volkswagen-owned British automaker. It's one of the most luxurious and expensive vehicles on the road today. How luxurious and how expensive? Well, its only real competition comes from a fellow ultra-luxe SUV, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The Bentayga turns heads as easily as a shirtless Bradley Cooper and is outfitted with more high-quality materials than Jennifer Lopez's closet. Take one look at the Bentayga and you'll know it's something different.

For 2020, the Bentayga debuts a new plug-in hybrid variant. Fitted with a V6 engine and hybrid system, it can go an EPA-estimated 18 miles on battery power before needing to switch over to regular gasoline operation. The Bentayga Hybrid doesn't pack as much power as the V8 and 12-cylinder engine models. But if you can plug in and recharge it frequently, it can help save on gas.

Good
7.7
out of 10
We drove the 2020 Bentley Bentayga on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
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 give 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
9/10
How comfortable is the Bentayga? The Bentayga checks all the boxes here. This SUV no doubt sets the standard for the class, from its supremely comfortable, fatigue-free front seats to near vault-like silence at high speeds. The seats are supportive, supple and hugely comfortable even over long distances, though the rear bench seat seems a bit cut-rate.
As expected, very little road or wind noise is allowed to enter the cabin no matter the speed. Even the big wheel and tire package didn't disturb occupants. Only the downmarket climate controls and somewhat plain-looking rear bench seat are a blemish.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The Bentayga benefits from not being too high off the ground, which not only makes it easy to get in and out of but also improves forward visibility. The view over the broad hood gives you a commanding view of the road and your position on it.
Drivers can get comfortable immediately but might be puzzled by the placement of some controls. The primary controls are all easy enough, but the placement of some of the control knobs, buttons and switches seems like an afterthought. Rear passengers might expect a bit more legroom in a Bentley.

Technology
5.5/10
How’s the tech? While the technology you can't see — such as the trick air suspension — is impressive, the stuff you can see is a disappointing mix of dated technology and VW parts. The infotainment system, for instance, is recognizable as an older Volkswagen model with a simple Bentley-themed reskin. Apple CarPlay is available, but Android Auto is not. The audio system isn't up to snuff either. The lackluster tech vibe spoils the otherwise luxurious interior.
Most of the standard driver aids are present, and it's nice to see the stability control system is well calibrated for the Bentayga's performance envelope.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? It's unlikely a Bentayga will ever do any errands at a home improvement warehouse, but 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, the cargo area isn't trimmed with any real luxury touches and looks a bit unspecial. Interior storage isn't overly abundant, but it is practical and keeps items secure.
There are LATCH anchors in the rear, and the wide doors and relatively low ride height mean it's easy to get seats and children in and out.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates that the Bentayga V8 will get 17 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. Bentley is offering the Bentayga Hybrid should you want to ease your conscience ... a little bit.
Value
7/10
Is the Bentayga a good value? Customization is the name of the game, and Bentley does it as well as anyone else. The quality of the seats, stitching, leather and paint is exceptional. But the infotainment technology available is frankly old and outclassed by the tech in cars costing one-tenth the price.
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 is 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, you still wind up flexing all that power and having moments of warp speed just because you can. You can even chuck it around with some abandon. Physics will eventually catch up with you but not many other motorists will.

2020 Bentley Bentayga trim level differences
The 2020 Bentayga is broken into three starting variants — Hybrid, V8 and Speed — rather than trim levels. Each one uses a different engine paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Outside of some minor styling differences, all three come equipped with roughly the same standard features. A plethora of leathers, trims, colors and wheels are available on all models.
Which Bentayga trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Bentley separates the Bentayga by powertrain rather than trim level. We recommend going with the Bentley Bentayga V8 or Hybrid. Both are significantly less expensive than the W12-powered Speed model and offer the same level of luxury and personalization.

Software problems with new electronics

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.

2018 Bentley Bentayga Mulliner 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 12cyl Turbo 8A)
I bought what I thought was my dream vehicle brand ne over 300k mulliner edition. Perfect truck so i thought. I rarely drive it I service it regularly it's my baby. I even hand wash it only. Had extended warranty so I said I dont drive it enough to justify 7I for warranty. Smh why did i not renew warranty. Truck has 30k miles just had to replace the transmission 27k just for the … transmission and 60 hours of labor at Bentley. You do the math and truck depreciation is horrifying. So truck isn't worth 150k now and i just had to spend 40k on transmission so listen to me it was 4 bentaygas at shop for same thing so Bentley knows and are not caring ZF transmissions have a history of this. In all luxury vehicles so please save your self before you regret it

2018 Bentley Bentayga W12 (Signature) 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 12cyl Turbo 8A)
I own a 2018 Bentley Bentayga. It is everything they say about handling, car colors, speed, etc. Hoever what is NOT said is the car' s safety. After only 8800 miles, I took my car in for the first service, which I thought would be routine oil change, filter, etc. I was horrified to learn that my brakes were dangerously low! I had to not only replace pads but rotors as well which had … already been damaged. The service manager at the dealer told me this is a common problem with this car. I am an elderly woman who drives to Dr's apts, church, shopping, etc. I called Bentley numerous times for an explanation. Customer Service told me the Regional Manager would call. After not less than 5 calls, he has yet to return my call.
You take your life and the life of your loved ones in your hands driving this car.
