Performance
Acceleration is forceful in Sport mode, backed by a raucous roar from the titanium pipes.
There’s noticeable performance difference between Sport and Comfort/Bentley modes.
Ride and handling
It feels remarkably light on its feet for a car of its size and weight.
On a dirt track, it was eager to kick its tail out at every oppurtunity.
Pros:
Superb mix of ride comfort and handling
Luxurious interior with rich customisation
Cons:
Could have used the 780hp PHEV powertrain
Some interior plastics not up to the mark
Verdict
Bentayga’s new-found naughty side elevates it above the rest of the range.
Deftly hops between limousine plush and razor sharp at the flick of a switch.
