I have been driving one of these for three weeks now. It replaces the W12 one I had before. I have to say, I prefer the diesel to the petrol ten folds. I drive a long distances, often from north of Germany to south of Spain, and the 900km range is so refreshing compared to what it used to be with the W12. There is no difference in the refinement between these two. Fantastic car! Even if I'm a Porsche Cayenne guy, and have one of those, too, I tend to choose the diesel Bentayga more often.
This guy is the best commentator. For a change its about the car and not the childish, pathetic egos of other commentators. I will look for more of his reviews!
Nice review. I've seen a few on the road now and they are big, but that 0-60 is impressive. I remember when they had the concept at the Goodwood FoS, the back was finished off like a super yacht with the strips of wood. Is that even an option I wonder ?.
I must say, your car reviews are getting better and better, really professional and naturally done. Really liked this one, the Bentayga is an odd car, I can't make my mind up on whether I like it or not. But nonetheless it was a great review and I'm excited for what you've got in the future! 👍 🚗
Cheers Finlay. I didn't get very long with the car so couldn't do all the things I wanted, so I'm glad you thought it was OK. The next car review is a 600bhp Walkinshaw Performance VXR8 !!!!!
Hi Peter, It's been the case for some years Audi, Bentley etc make very good attempts at throwing a shed load of power to hide mass but you can never hide mass as you will always feel the mass in the corners and breaking. What I fail to understand if they could cut down on the weight they would have much greater MPG but then the handling may suffer due to the way the car's are set up and would cost more money on the R & D. It's a balancing act. Regards Alan B.
Hi Peter, I'm sold on this car but to many people it's a marmite car it has a number competitors and they sit at a lower price point you could also purchase a second hand RR Wraith with the cash you could spend on this car with options. I enjoyed this short to the point car review. Kind Regards Alan B P.S Bentley use the Audi RS6 engine in the GT speed as Audi have provided engines to Bentley for some years.
Great review as always and I really like your presentation style which is very natural and engaging. Apart from not having the budget to get one, I do not like the Bentayga at all. I have seen a few recently and I still don't like them. It might grow on me in time, who knows. But in the meantime, give me a Range Rover any day. I would also be concerned that it may get vandalised as it's just a real statement car.
It's a just a little disappointing that they can make a special W12 engine for this vehicle and not make a specialized diesel engine. Bentayga has raised the bar in the SUV Market. Rightfully so they should have a specialized diesel engine, not borrowing from any of Audi's engines. This just makes the vehicle seem like a glorified Audi Q7....
It's NOT your first ever drive of a Bentley. You still haven't broken your Bentley duck, because this is not a Bentley. It's is an Audi Q7 with a made-in-China Bentley badge on it.
Ouch indeed. You should try driving a proper Bently from the past, like Arnage or Brooklands or Azure. I don't know how Mulsanne drives but I'd bet any money up to 100 UAE dirhams that it sucks, too. :-))
Those wheels look like a cheap aftermarket upgrade by a 19-year-old Toyota Corolla owner on a budget. They look horrible and small. VW continues slowly killing the glorious brand. I'm sorry, Bentley. Hey, congrats on the new car, Mrs. Rooney.

This is a really good review, and well thought out. You deserve many more viewers.
oberon the first Thanks Buddy 👍
Bentley, Diesel, SUV! People would've thought you were mad if you put them together 10 years ago!!
LOL !

Thanks Gerard, glad you enjoyed it 👍
As always Peter a very fair review & that's why I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks Geof. I love the fact you always take time to comment and let me know what you think :-)
I thought BMW was the ultimate machine until I started driving Bentley, just got one of them fantastic car
Nice review. I've seen a few on the road now and they are big, but that 0-60 is impressive. I remember when they had the concept at the Goodwood FoS, the back was finished off like a super yacht with the strips of wood. Is that even an option I wonder ?.
I'm not sure but the interior is very special !
Very "wafting" review Pete. I can see you and Mrs Ped taking delivery soon but then again maybe not quite enough excitement for you! Great review.
Certainly a wafter Rupert...I think we'd have a nice Range Rover though :-)
I thought you might like my Mont Ventoux VLOG ?!
Great video yet again a lot compared to the competition mind you but it is a Bentley
NO NO NO, a Flying Spur with the W12. Speed and luxury.
First World Problems ;-)
Great review sir Pete. Was fun to watch
Cheers Bud 👍

As ever a great professional video. So Peter....what is your next car video? 😆
I wonder ?!
Great review again. I the 'B' on the pedal was 'Boot" :)
LOL !
Its 'B' for brake! Americans havent a clue!

Good point Alan. The new Disco 5 is 600kg lighter than the Disco 4...and you can tell !

An SQ7 has the same performance but just not quite the finish. That said it flies under the radar more than this one !

I'd take a Range Rover and the change too :-) Thanks for the positive feedback.
Much better buy now a good sub 15/20k mile examples can cost about half original price.
Cool to see, but out of my price range for now!!!
I've been wafting along recently but I put that down to a high protein diet 😂
Review an x5m
+Jeff Skills I'll try and get hold of one 👍
Petrol Ped awesome
The Bentley Bentayga, looks like a polished turd, no way is it faster than a range rover sport SVR. (good video though loving this series so far )
+Poulson Plays... Difficult to separate them onspeed however the SVR sounds way better 👍
Just out of curiosity, what does "Ped" stand for in your channel name?
+Maloy7800 My name...Ped is short for Pedro 👍
Oh, I see. Hey, why not Petro Pedro!? Taken? :-))
Petrol Ped is a play on Petrol Head. Not sure it works so well in some countries though :-(

I know what your mean, although the Audi engine is a superb unit. You'll find it in the Cayenne and Panamera too :-)
W12 is not special it has been used in the Audi A8 or even VW Phaeton.
Bmw alpina xd4 is the fastest diesel suv in this year

+Maloy7800 Ouch 😬
Maloy7800 False.

+Maloy7800 LOL...you're not a fan then 😂
I drive an Arnage. Now THAT's... a Rolls Royce. :-))
Not a pretty car the Bentley Q7
LOL !
