Bentley Bentayga (2021) | Información general
Alfonso Herrero (@alf_reguart)

Casi cinco años después de su aparición (información del modelo 2016), en Bentley Bentayga recibe cambios. Este modelo es un SUV de lujo que mide más de cinco metros de longitud (5,13 metros) y que se puede adquirir con cuatro, cinco o siete plazas.

De su nuevo aspecto, lo más destacable es el nuevo portón trasero, que ahora abarca toda la anchura de la carrocería, y los nuevos pilotos, cuya forma es ovalada. También son nuevos los faros, la parilla y los paragolpes (galería de imágenes).

El diseño del salpicadero es similar excepto la zona central, donde están las salidas de ventilación (que ya no son redondas), el reloj Breitling, la nueva pantalla multimedia (de 10,9 pulgadas) y los mandos del climatizador. También hay nuevos asientos y materiales decorativos, el cuadro de instrumentos es una pantalla y los paneles de las puertas son diferentes, así como el volante. Además, según Bentley los asientos de la segunda fila (con la configuración de cinco plazas) tienen regulaciones más amplias, pueden estar ventilados y ofrecen más espacio para las piernas (entre 3 y 10 cm según la posición del asiento).





El sistema multimedia es completamente nuevo y ofrece funciones como la conectividad (inalámbrica) con Apple Carplay (antes sólo con cable) y Android Auto (por vez primera en un Bentley), los mapas con imágenes por satélite o la búsqueda de destinos en internet. Para las plazas traseras hay una tableta de cinco pulgadas que permite manejar algunas funciones de este equipo multimedia.

Inicialmente, el Bentayga 2021 se comercializará con el motor de gasolina V8 de 3996 cm³ y 549 CV que ya tenía el modelo 2016. Más adelante llegará la versión Speed con un motor W12 y la híbrida enchufable (ambas ya existen en el modelo 2016, con 635 CV y 449 CV respectivamente).

La vía trasera es 20 mm más ancha. Se mantiene la suspensión con el sistema de muelles neumáticos, amortiguadores de dureza variable y las estabilizadoras activas (conectadas a una red de 48 V). Las llantas son de 21 (neumáticos Pirelli de medidas 285/45) o 22 pulgadas (285/40). Los discos de freno delanteros pueden ser de fundición de acero (de 400 mm de diámetro) o carbocerámicos (de 440 mm); en el primer caso, las pinzas son fijas de seis pistones, mientras que en el segundo son de diez; detrás, son de 380 mm o de 37 mm (carbocerámicos) siempre con pinzas flotantes.



Otras novedades de equipamiento son un ionizador en el sistema de climatización, limpiaparabrisas con las salidas (22) de líquido limpiador incluidas en el brazo de las escobillas, conexiones USB-C, una zona de recarga inalámbrica para teléfonos y los servicios disponibles mediante una aplicación (My Bentley). Las luces matriciales tienen 82 ledes en cada faro.

Hay dos equipos de sonido disponibles. El de serie (Bentley Signature Audio) tiene 12 altavoces. El opcional es de la casa Naim y tiene 20, además de ser mucho más potente; con este equipo, los altavoces tienen iluminado el logotipo de la marca.

Este interior debe ser el Cockney Edition

 

En definitiva, apañarle opciones del Urus, lo normal desde hace años.

Aquí se ve la diferencia con el anterior, sobre todo el portón, y aunque era difícil... han conseguido hacerlo más feo

 

Mi madre..., parecía imposible empeorar la trasera, pero no...

 

Mae mía. Igualito...

 

Que en menos de 5 años hayan tenido que cambiar tantísimo varios componentes, para mi, deja claro que reconocen un gran 'error' de diseño en el concepto inicial. Se han tenido que poner a trabajar en interno y con proveedores al cabo de poo tiempo de lanzar el coche, todo esto no se hace en cuatro días.

Muy rara vez se ven estos golpes de timón, el trabajo en la parte posterior es muy grande. Independientemente de que guste o no, es algo complejo y costoso modificar el lateral, portón, piezas internas, pilotos completamente, etc. Como siempre, si alguien se puede permitir estos esfuerzos técnicoeconómicos es un grupo como VW, que yo recuerde les pasó algo lejanamente comparable con el Golf VI que estuvo en el mercado solamente 4 años.

 

Dicen que con la opción de 4 asientos confort es la limusina de los SUV








PRESS RELEASE

NEW BENTAYGA IN DETAIL: FOUR SEAT COMFORT SPECIFICATION

Four-seat version of new Bentayga provides ultimate luxury SUV rear cabin space for two occupants
Building on the success of first generation Bentayga with 20% - 4,000 cars - including the Four Seat Comfort Specification
Up to 100mm more rear leg room over previous generation
Rear seat feature content provides luxury for all occupants
Additional stowage and charge sockets located in rear centre console
Exquisitely finished quilted back board with handcrafted detailing
(Crewe, 16 July 2020) The new Bentayga has the greatest breadth of ability of any car on the road, and with the Four Seat Comfort Specification, the Bentayga’s abilities as the limousine of SUVs comes to the fore. With the four-seat version of the car now available from launch along with both a five-seat configuration and the option of a full seven-seat interior, the interior of the new Bentayga is configurable to the demands of any family.

Building on the success of the previous generation where one in every five cars (4,000 vehicles) was specified with the four-seat configuration, rear legroom has been improved to enhance the chauffeur-driven experience through careful design and relocation of the backboard separating the cabin from the boot area. The maximum recline of the rear seats has been increased from 32° to 40°, and the fore and aft travel has been increased by 35mm. This combination delivers a 100mm improvement in knee room in the reclined position, helping to make luxury travel even more comfortable.

All the seats in the new Bentayga have been completely redesigned and now have a more sculptured shape, particularly around the shoulder area, to provide an even greater level of comfort that further improves on the industry-recognised benchmark for seat comfort.

The Four Seat Comfort Specification also adds further rear seat content including seat ventilation (in addition to seat heating as standard), a selection of six different massage programmes, and a winged comfort headrest. With the Four Seat Comfort Specification the Mulliner Console Bottle Cooler can also be chosen, housing a fully integrated drinks cooler for a 750ml bottle, and two handcrafted Cumbria Crystal Flutes.

Between the two rear seats, a rear centre console provides additional stowage and two further USB charging sockets. While a beautiful leather trimmed backboard containing a diamond quilted ski hatch, separates the cabin from the boot space.

To access the additional seat functionality, rear seat passengers benefit from a technology upgrade for the new Bentayga with the new, larger Touch Screen Remote control tablet, similar to that introduced in the all-new Flying Spur. The five-inch display uses more contemporary graphics and has extra processing power through an onboard quad-core processor and 1 GB of RAM. The unit can control a range of functions, from rear seat heating and massage, to the media system and navigation, to mood lighting, and electric windows and sunroof blind.

 

2021 Bentley Bentayga Speed



Highlights:

▪ Effortless performance meets unrivalled craftsmanship
▪ 6.0-litre W12 develops 635 PS (626 bhp), 900 Nm (664 lb.ft)
▪ Top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h); 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.9 secs
▪ Bold exterior styling details reinforce performance credentials
▪ Unique Speed interior with Alcantara trim and exclusive details
▪ Powerful W12 engine hand-built and tested at Crewe
▪ Efficiency through cylinder deactivation and ‘sail’ technology
▪ Expanded suite of My Bentley connected services using embedded SIM

The new Bentayga Speed takes the Bentayga’s extraordinary abilities to new levels, utilising the 6.0-litre W12 twin-turbocharged engine that delivers peak power of 635 PS (626 bhp). Effortless acceleration is always guaranteed thanks to 900 Nm (664 lb.ft) of torque, available as a plateau from 1,500 rpm to 5,000 rpm. The assembly of the W12 powertrain takes the skilled engine builders approximately ten per cent of the total hours required for the manufacture of the Bentayga Speed.

With exceptional performance, comfort and handling, maximum speed is also increased to 190 mph (306 km/h), while the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint is delivered in 3.9 seconds.

Efficiency is also an important aspect of such a powerful engine; to achieve effective cylinder deactivation with the complex layout of the W12, the engine control unit deactivates one complete bank of six cylinders as required. Switching between A and B Bank using information from the inlet and exhaust sensors, minimises cylinder and catalytic convertor cool down and avoids spikes in exhaust emissions. This not only benefits CO2 emissions but realises significant economy gains under part-throttle cruising conditions.

In 5th to 8th gears, when the driver releases the throttle (at motorway cruising speed, for example) the car will open the torque converter, dropping the engine to idle and simply allowing the car to roll or ‘sail’. When the throttle is reapplied, or the car starts going downhill and detects an increase in speed, the transmission is re-engaged.

To use this power appropriately the Bentayga Speed is equipped with four on-road Drive Dynamics modes: Comfort at one extreme, Sport at the other and with Bentley mode – the balanced recommendation of Bentley’s chassis team in Crewe – alongside a Custom mode for customers who opt to create their own driving set-up. Uniquely in the Speed, the Sport mode has been recalibrated to enhance response from the W12 engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission, together with the air suspension system and Bentley Dynamic Ride.

The effect is a more dynamic and engaging drive. Bentley Dynamic Ride is the world’s first electric active roll control technology that utilises an unrivalled 48V system. This system instantly counteracts lateral rolling forces when cornering and ensures maximum tyre contact to deliver class-leading cabin stability, ride comfort and exceptional handling.

Recalibration of Bentley’s Torque Vectoring by Brake system – whereby the car lightly brakes the inside rear wheel at corner entry to sharpen the front axle turn-in – has made Bentayga Speed even more responsive to drive.

The Bentayga Speed’s optional carbon ceramic brakes are the largest and most powerful brakes available from Bentley, with a maximum braking torque of 6,000 Nm and engineered to withstand temperatures up to 1,000 °C. They also provide a weight saving of more than 20 kg over iron brakes.

 

Llegan las pruebas...

 

Bentley has revamped its bruising Bentayga so it's ready to take on Aston Martin's DBX SUV - but which British beast is a beauty to drive?

• The Bentayga has been facelifted with new exterior and interior styling for 2020
• It is Bentley's most-bought model, surpassing 20,000 sales since launch in 2015
• The Bentayga SUV made up 45% of Bentley's global models sales last year
• It now how tough competition in the shape of Aston Martin's DBX and Porsche's Cayenne GTS - RAY MASSEY has picked the one he'd choose

As the big beasts of the luxury automotive world fight it out for domination of the asphalt jungle, Britain's Bentley has been on a lockdown work-out to muscle its way to the fore with a more toned version of its top-selling Bentayga.

And well might it, as UK arch rival Aston Martin takes up the challenge with its new DBX SUV, and Germany's Porsche stakes its claim in the ring with its new Cayenne GTS.

I'm one of the first to drive the refreshed Bentley Bentayga - in Covid-19 compliant conditions on UK roads – having previously driven the other two. So let battle commence...






Bentley's bruiser revamped: The Bentayga has been given a mid-life facelift to prepare for the arrival of the Aston Martin DBX. But is a new look enough to keep Bond's choice SUV behind it in the queue?

Step inside the new Bentayga – the first was launched just five years ago - and you know and feel immediately that this is a big beast.

It is created on an epic scale. It's a bruiser. It dominates. It feels Bentley big, though luxuriously so. As a driver, you feel both powerful and empowered.

And that's even before you fire up the engine with a deep, throaty and satisfying growl.




For everyone else outside, however, the most noticeable thing about the new Bentley Bentayga will strike you when you're following behind one, which will be most of the time, as you'll rarely have the chance to get in front of one.

It's hind quarters and rear hatch have been totally restyled to create more space and impact.

That's not by accident. Bentayga has been given a significant make-over and upgrade to make it look and feel fresher and even more dynamic following feedback from its wealthy customers.

With over 20,000 of its bulbous SUVs sold since it launched in 2015 and making up 45 per cent of global brand sales last year, the Bentayga is ripe for an exterior facelift.















Bentayga is an SUV of epic scale. 'It's a bruiser. It dominates. It feels Bentley big, though luxuriously so. As a driver, you feel both powerful and empowered,' says Ray Massey






Over 20,000 Bentaygas have been sold since it launched in 2015. Last year it made up 45% of Bentley's global sales






It might look different from the outside but under the bonnet it features the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo-charged 550-horsepower V8 petrol engine linked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox

There are also a host of interior and hi-tech tweaks and improvements – including more comfortable seats and greater rear passenger legroom.

The car I drove at launch in a fetchingly bright Orange Flame paintwork – no-one would fail to see me coming.

The range is priced from £146,700 – an increase of £7,100 on the outgoing V8 SUV model costing from £139,600 – first customer deliveries are happening around now.

However, my fully-loaded Bentayga riding on 22-inch wheels was fitted with more than £50,000 of added options – more than enough to buy an additional premium 4X4 ,executive saloon or a decent sports car – which bumped the price as driven up to £197,110.

These extras included: an upgraded 'First Edition' spec (£31,820) with lots of enhanced trim details including illuminated tread-plates, bespoke embroidery, and a 'Naim for Bentley' premium audio system; a trendy 'Black specification (£14,980) with 22-inch five spoke black-painted alloy wheels and gloss-black tailpipes; and an 'all terrain' spec (£3,610) with underfloor protection, responsive off-road settings and a luggage management system.

There's no change under the bonnet, though. It continues to be powered by the existing powerful 4.0-litre twin-turbo-charged 550-horsepower V8 petrol engine linked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

That gives it the thrust to accelerate with gusto from 0-to-60mph in just 4.4 seconds up to a top speed of 180mph.

'Sport' mode was particularly invigorating with Space-X style lift off, with 'Bentley' for normal running, 'Comfort' if you're feeling really relaxed, or just customise your own setting.

It has a range of 397 miles with CO2 emissions of 302 g/km and fuel economy: 21.2 mpg, in the ball park of what I was achieving.

When suitable, it can de-activate four of its eight cylinders without compromising the drive.






No slouch: The Bentayga might be big and weigh neigh-on 2.5-tonnes but it can still accelerate with gusto from 0-to-60mph in just 4.4 seconds up to a top speed of 180mph






The restyled 'face' of the new Bentayga features new elliptical LED headlamps – the first time seen on a Bentley – which sits about 30mm higher on the more dominant sweeping bonnet






While our man was impressed with the overall makeover for the Bentayga, he didn't take kindly to the budget-feeling auto gear shifter

But here's my biggest, and arguably only gripe.

Bentayga looks, feels and drives monumental and sturdy. But when you reach down to select 'D' for drive – or 'R' for reverse - the silver central gear-selector feels a bit a bit cheap to the touch and, dare one say, naff?

Given that, apart from the steering wheel, this is one of the most fundamental tactile touch-points a driver will have with his or her Bentayga,

I was a bit taken aback and genuinely surprised. I'd never noticed it before. I was expecting something really solid and even made of metal. But the lever feels like plastic with a large Bentley badge on top. How did they let that through? Saving weight? Lighter materials? Technical reasons? Cost cutting? It's just out of kilter with the rest of the vehicle.

The restyled 'face' of the new Bentayga features new elliptical LED headlamps – the first time seen on a Bentley – which sits about 30mm higher on the more dominant sweeping bonnet.

Every panel at the front and rear of the car has been redesigned for a 'cleaner and more modern look' that exudes elegant muscularity and confidence. The matrix grille is bigger and more upright to look more 'assertive' and the front bumpers made more aggressive.

At the restyled rear there's an all-new full-width tailgate in which new elliptical and jewellery-like tail-lights (carried across from the Continental GT) have been set. The licence plate has moved down into the bumper to allow more prominent 'Bentley' lettering above.

Larger oval-shaped split sport exhaust pipes echo the design of the rear lamps.

An extended roof-spoiler makes the vehicle look longer and more athletic and the vast panoramic glass roof lets light flood in.

The restyled cabin includes a more contemporary interior, new door trims and steering wheel, a redesigned central fascia and digital instrument cluster with improved high resolution graphics, and new more comfortable and sculpted seats giving more support, especially around the shoulder area.

The new digital driver's information panel is similar to the third generation Continental GT and new Flying Spur from which it takes its 'inspiration' to maintain a Bentley family feel.

A bigger and brighter high-resolution 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen has anti-reflection and anti-glare coating. Apple CarPlay is now standard along with Android Auto.

The next generation head-up display helps improve navigation with a three-dimensional display and satellite maps.

The head-up display can also now project traffic information, street and names and distance to destination.

The central pair of traditional 'bullseye' centre vents have been replaced by a sculptured single vent.

A long pocket along the side of the centre console carries smaller items, such as a mobile phone.

A wireless inductive phone charger with signal booster sits directly in front of the gear lever.

Customers can choose from three versatile seating configurations: standard five-seat; an optional four-seat with two individual rear seats separated by a centre console; and a three-row, seven-seat set-up for maximum practicality and flexibility.

The five-seater features an all-new seat frame which doubles the travel of the rear-seat recline angle and now also has the option of rear-seat ventilation, previously available only on the four-seat cabin.

The four-seat Bentayga enjoys a 30mm increase in knee room in the upright seated position, increasing to nearly 100mm in the reclined position.

Rear seat passengers enjoy new, larger five-inch touch-screen remote control tablets, similar to that introduced in the all-new Flying Spur.

Visibility is improved thanks to new heated, wet-arm windscreen wipers introduced for the first time with an array of 22 washer jets in each arm. Bentley notes: 'The system means no distracting spray and dramatically improves the cleaning of the glass.'

Each headlamp contains 82 powerful LED elements and there are three adaptive headlamp settings depending on location: Town operating below 30mph projects a short wide beam for urban areas; Country for between 30mph and 60mph lifts to a narrower beam, and Motorway rises and intensifies the beam.

Driver and passengers can arrive at their destinations feeling more refreshed thanks to onboard air ionisers to remove contaminants from the air and improve customer 'wellness'.

A 20mm increase to the rear track width repositions the wheels in their arches to improve the car's stance and driving.

A plug-in petrol-electric hybrid version and a 190mph 6.0-litre W12 Speed – the fastest SUV in the world – are to follow.

Is the Bentayga better than the Aston Martin DBX and Porsche Cayenne GTS?
Bentley's refreshed luxury SUV faces intense competition on price, spec, performance and illusive star quality from some deadly rivals.

Aston Martin's elegant new DBX priced from £158,000 is propelled by a more powerful version of the firm's 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine already used in the DB11 and V8 Vantage sports cars.

Linked to a 9-speed automatic and developing 550 horse-power, it accelerates with gusto from rest to 62mph in just 4.5 seconds up to a top speed of 181mph, where permitted.






Bentayga's refresh comes just as Aston Martin's all-new DBX crossover hits UK shores. We published the first drive report on the car earlier this week




+12


Porsche's Cayenne GTS is another substantial and flashy SUV rival to the Bentley - also featuring a 4.0-litre V8 motor up front

Porsche's mighty and agile Cayenne GTS SUV - with industrial size and quality internal hand-grips should passengers feel the need to hang-on – is powered by a 460 horsepower 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 linked to an 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic gearbox that pushes it from rest to 60mph in 4.2 seconds up to a top speed of 168mph.

Prices start from £85,750 and you can pay a £3,000 premium to get your hands on the more stylish - but less practical - Cayenne GTS Coupe.

While both the Bentayga and the Porsche Cayenne GTS – both part of Germany's giant Volkswagen Group - feel like big cars oozing raw power, the Aston Martin DBX, although sharing a similar footprint and dimensions to its rivals and with that ever-present link to James Bond, feels the more elegant and refined of the three, though no less accomplished.

The DBX – on which Aston Martin has bet the company and its future - is also a big car, but it somehow fools they eye. It looks and feels more of a beauty, less of a beast.

So will beauty kill the beast? Or vice versa?

At the end of the day, the customer will ultimately decide.




+12


More beauty than beast: Ray was more taken with the performance and appeal of the DBX than the Bentley. But with 20,000 customers already, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Bentayga continue its sterling sales form

... esperando que prueben el W12 del Speed, dicen que es el SUVeaceras más rápido del mundo

New 2021 Bentley Bentayga Speed - fastest SUV on earth

 

El Bentley Bentayga Speed se ha renovado con una nueva estética y se mantiene como el SUV más rápido, con 635 CV y 306 km/h




Tras el aperitivo publicado esta misma semana, Bentley acaba de desvelar todos los detalles del Bentley Bentayga Speed, la variante más salvaje del SUV deportivo que acaba de actualizarse este verano. En el menú se mantiene el poderoso W12 de 635 CV así como los 306 km/h de velocidad máxima, que le perpetuan en el trono como todocamino más rápido del planeta.

Tras conocer los detalles del renovado Bentayga, tocaba hacer lo propio con su versión Speed que es la única de la gama que mantiene el propulsor de doce cilindros. Así, del actualizado todocamino de lujo sólo resta conocer su anunciada variante híbrida enchufable.

Al igual que el modelo convencional, está esculpido en el nuevo lenguaje de diseño de la marca ya estrenado en la tercera generación del Bentley Continental GT así como en el nuevo Flying Spur. Como el resto de la gama del nuevo Bentayga, llegará al mercado en 2021, aunque Bentley aún no adelanta fecha exacta.

Traje deportivo

De esta manera, como el Bentayga hace gala de novedades estéticas en el frontal y en la zaga, como por ejemplo la nueva parrilla más vertical o las ovaladas ópticas posteriores, así como la integración de faros frontales LED matriciales, una vía trasera más ancha y una mejorada habitabilidad en la fila posterior de asientos, que puede albergar dos o tres plazas.

No obstante, el Bentley Bentayga Speed se distingue por oscurecer varios de sus elementos, como la parrilla, los faros o las rejillas de las tomas de aire frontales, además de equipar defensas específicas y un alerón más generoso y deportivo. También encontramos unas llantas de diseño exclusivo de 22 pulgadas, que están disponibles en dos acabados, o bien pintadas o bien de tinte oscuro.



El conjunto se completa con dos salidas de escape ovaladas también distintivas y con la denominación Speed luciendo tanto en el cuerpo como en el habitáculo. 17 tonalidades pueden seleccionarse para la carrocería, a lo que se suman otras 47 opciones para las variantes Extended y Mulliner, incluyendo 24 bitono.

En lo que respecta al habitáculo, también encontramos el nuevo sistema multimedia de Bentley, que se materializa en una gigantesca pantalla de 10,9 pulgadas, o la instrumentación digital de 12,3 pulgadas, que imita dos esferas analógicas.


Pero el Speed además va acompañado de tapicería en Alcantara y el aterciopelado material también viste el techo, los pilares, la parte inferior del salpicadero, el volante o la palanca de cambios. Asimismo, cuenta con acentos estilo fibra de carbono que encontramos en el salpicadero o el túnel central.

Hasta 306 km/h y chucherías dinámicas

A nivel mecánico el lado más prestacional del Bentayga mantiene el ya conocido propulsor W12 de 6.0 litros con 635 CV y 900 Nm, que, según Bentley, ha sido revisado para mejorar su respuesta. Este poderoso bloque cuenta además con un sistema de desconexión de cilindros que puede desactivar toda una bancada en los momentos de menor exigencia para atar en corto emisiones y consumo.

Gestionado por una transmisión automática de ocho velocidades, en el menú también encontramos la suspensión neumática, hasta cuatro modos de conducción (Confort, Sport, Bentley y personalizado) o la tecnología de control de balanceo activo Bentley Dynamic Ride, que se asienta sobre un sistema de 48V. Opcionalmente puede seguir equipando unos frenos carbocerámicos, que ahorran 20 kilos respecto a los de hierro de serie.

El Bentley Bentayga Speed 2021 calca las cifras del modelo saliente, firmando una velocidad máxima de 306 km/h, uno más que el Lamborghini Urus que le permiten ostentar el título de SUV más rápido, y acelerando desde parado hasta los 100 km/h en 3,9 segundos.

 

Siguen llegando las pruebas del V8...




The Hooniverse

The 2021 Bentley Bentayga is a 542-horsepower luxury land yacht that starts at $177,000. It has room for people and very fancy dogs. And all will be comfortable inside the new Bentayga. Kick everyone out though, and blast forth towards the horizon with controlled abandon.

Bentley has reworked the face so the Bentayga now looks a bit better. The rear end takes styling cues from the Flying Spur and Continental GT. And inside it's as nice as ever.
And this is the "entry-level" Bentley truck because there's both a hybrid and a twin-turbo W12 Speed version just around the lovingly appointed corner.

 

Así como el Continental se merece todos mis respetos, este todo lo contrario. El día que lo presentaron (dejando a un lado que pueda gustar o no) a nivel interior tenía muchos componentes derivados de los Audi Q7, cosas como el volante que si bien no es malo para un Q7, sí lo es para un coche que costaba más de 200.000€ de base. Ahora parece ser que le han hecho bastantes cambios aun que no se si para mejor o para peor.. lo que está claro es que la fiebre de los SUV han hecho mucho daño y uno de los perjudicados es Bentley bajo mi punto de vista. Han querido subirse al carro de esta nueva moda a toda costa y no le ha salido nada bien.

Con Porsche, Lamborghini (que me gusta) y Bentley quien será el siguiente? Ferrari? Bugati? Yo no se vosotros pero yo apuesto por un Koenigsegg SUV Jajaja.

 

Aston Martin ya es un hecho y Ferrari lo presentará en breve. Bugati puede que se apunte al carro en breve.

 

No le habrá ido tan mal cuando el 45% de las ventas han sido de Bentayga

 

Efectivamente, por que como dije es la moda de los SUV, pero dime el porcentaje de ventas con respeto a otras marcas premium.. Bentayga solo he visto uno desde que salieron a la venta, Urus, Cayenne y demás un buen puñado. Por tanto ahí tienes la diferencia.

 

Hombre, cada modelo tiene su clientela.
No puedes comparar un Cayenne con un Bentayga cuando sus precios base son justamente la mitad que el otro.
Ni con un Urus, que aunque ya partan de un precio más cercano, aunque el Urus es unos 50k más caro, son coches totalmente diferentes en cuanto a público, estética, dinámica, etc.
El rival más cercano diría que es el Cullinan, aunque este es unos 50k más caro de partida. Pero por concepto de coche son los más similares
Lo que ha hecho el Bentayga es mantenerle las ventas a la marca.
11000 unidades, las mismas que cuando el Bentayga no existía. De no haberlo tenido quizás hubiera pegado un buen bajón.
No creo que un cliente este indeciso entre un Urus O un Bentayga.
Aunque igual me equivoco

 

No te equivocas al 98%
