What we like

Despite its decadence, the Bentayga is still as pragmatic as a big SUV should be. It has a big boot. It can tow. You can specify four, five or seven seats. The V6 Hybrid offers the opportunity to waft around town silently, while the twin-turbo V8 charms with its hearty performance yet cultured cruising refinement.

What we don’t like

If you go searching for them, there are some Volkswagen Group parts in the interior that look much cheaper than the rest of the car. The Hybrid may be the ‘cleanest’ car in the range, but it’s still not that economical. The ride quality in the Speed isn’t very Bentley-ish.
