[Closed] The new Bentley Bentayga.

The best colour they could think of to sell the car to the media is beige. That says enough about this gopping car to me.

Ah a Bently just in case you have gravel on your drive...[img] [/img]
Looks well, er, like the image has 3 different zooms going on?

I think you'll find that is "Gazelle".

Needs more Stephen Ireland.

Looks like a Lada Riva IMO

Beautifully crafted interior:

However the exterior is probably one of the least desirable designs of any SUV available at the moment to my eyes. Bulbous, fussy, messy.
In fact it's handy that they used a poo brown one in the video, because driving along, it reminded me of a big old Mr Hanky heading down the porcelain flume.

i've seen it driving round Nantwich, at first glance it resembles a Ssangyong Musso

Coming soon to a football training ground near you.

Bentley or Chrysler, I can't tell the difference anymore.

Looks butt ugly to me

hmm beige leather sofa

Horrendous

No doubt there will be loads of them knocking around Alderley Edge soon

God that's ugly.

My first thought was ... Austin Maxi....

I guess it's what people with one of these aspire to

I guess that we are not the target demographic, but if I was a Premier League footballer I'd chuck a week's wages at it.

Austin Land Crab, shirley?

HTS - not the target demographic? Surely us Tudor watch owners are the target 🙂

I get the impression there are a few people on here who could afford it. Whether simply being able to afford it makes you the target demographic though, I'm not sure. Perhaps you have to be extremely wealthy, and extremely tasteless.

I remember debating the merits of a £100,000 Porsche Cayenne with one of my friends who sold them. He was raving about it, but I couldn't see past the idea that to me, it represented a Boxster and a Range Rover (or whatever).

Drac- "God that's ugly."

I think you are going to see a few of these, at the scene of accidents where other car drivers have gouged out their own eyes.

I seen a few un badge ones out testing, and they are horrid. I really don't know what Bentley are thinking.
I pointed one out to the mrs spesh, that's the new Bentley SUV, "you're ******* joking!"

Meh, i'll pass & wait for the RR Cullinan.

That might be the most vulgar thing I've ever seen on 4 wheels.

Ah well, perhaps this is another sign that the financial storm of the last 7-8 years is over, 'bling' is back in.

Who designed that Rolls?

The same bloke who styled Ned Kelly?

It does look pretty hideous, but I'm sure lots of people will buy it.

Aren't a lot of Bentley sales now going to the Far East?
Perhaps it has been styled to fit in more with their culture/tastes than ours as they expect to sell more there? Just a thought.

The financial storm didn't really impact the target audiance

not for me thanks, it's the ridiculous size of cars that puts me off, just not compatible any more with the UK road infrastructure. however everyone likes different stuff, if you want one, happy days

they'll be popular in the gulf states, that gold-y beige-y colour for the promo may well have been chosen by the UAE sales teams

Is it any bigger than the other VAG cars it shares a platform with? Or a Range Rover?

Looks like a Chinese knock-off.

Looks safe...at least I wont injure myself when I crash into someone when pished.

Awful, and a range of just over 370 miles is pathetic. Still probably okay for your daily 6 miles of solid traffic jam in London, Doha, Dubai or Beijing.

I've never been a huge fan of the Range Rover, but I'd have one of them over that Bentley anytime.

Reminds me a bit of a London taxi.

According to that video up top, yes!

dragon

According to that video up top, yes!

Ah yes, missed that. Doesn't quantify it but I'm assuming it can't be much bigger than a Q7 especially if it's shorter than a Range Rover Sport.

i remeber seeing this when i was up that way last year, even the staff didn't like its looks, but accpeted there was a market where "people" will buy it irrespecitve. Bentley have a habit of making stuff just to satisfy a market demand, whereas RR, generally tend to make something becasue its new and good and not a "fad"..

JLR have gone the same way, although no where near as bad - no more estates, you'll have to choose the SUV now..

What better way to advertise to the world that you have lots of money but no taste and probably aren't a very good driver

"Austin Land Crab"

*s****s.

You're right Sir.

Will they do the Bentley in Army Green too ??

It's hideous. It reminds me of the Bangle era BMW where it took them a while to realise the direction they were heading was the wrong one (See Mulsanne).

Saying that, much like how the big bike manufacturers don't really care what we in the UK think/want Bentley won't be bothered what most think about it as they'll sell loads to China. Forget the Middle East, it's China that all the car companies are interested in.

I think they muddled up the publicity shots with the latest Ssangyong 😯

Gah. Had to google it. It's 36mm wider and 78mm loner than a Q7.

The new Volvo XC90 is showing the way in big SUV design

I knew this was coming and I knew it was going to be hideously ugly but my god, thats hideously ugly x1000000. Not even the lovely looking interior can make up for the outside (but that applies to all Bentleys).

Blimey, if that's the way it's going then Ssangyong were way ahead of their time!
