Bentley Arnage Saloon (1998 - 2009) practicality

Every Arnage comes with anti-lock brakes and twin front airbags as standard. They also have traction control, though this was upgraded to full ESP in 2002 with more finesse than the original traction control’s slightly clumsy interventions. Electronic brake force distribution was also standard with the anti-lock brakes from the Arnage’s introduction.

Side and curtain airbags arrived on all models in 2002.

If it wasn’t for the enormous size of the Arnage, it would be even more practical, but that size can make it tricky to park, though it has a surprisingly compact turning circle for such a large car. The mighty size has the advantage of endowing the Arnage with a massive boot able to carry several suitcases. In the cabin itself, there are large door pockets, a big glovebox and a sizeable cubby between the front seats.

You can also have fold-down picnic tables for rear passengers to eat their cucumber sandwiches off.
