The 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB is an ultra-luxury, long-wheelbase SUV with a $300,000 price tag. Today I'm reviewing the Bentayga EWB, and I'll show you all the quirks and features -- and all the amazing luxury touches. I'm also going to drive the 2023 Bentayga EWB, and I'll show you what it's like behind the wheel.

Only by stretching the Bentayga could Bentley finally achieve its true goal of making its profile look almost indistinguishable from the now-discontinued Lincoln MKT.
I.E. - a hearse
Yoooooo
I used to own one. It rode so damn smooth. Probably because of the long wheelbase.
It's a car wreck for elegant styling. One born every minute.
@@vernonpaigejr.1517 same wheelbase as the Ford flex
Excited to see Hoovie get his hands on this in 20 years
The RUclips money has gone to Hoovie's head, his hoopties are now $100,000+ and his channel isn't like it used to be.
"I bought the cheapest running and driving Bentley Bentayga Azure Extended Wheelbase First Edition in the country!"
20 years? You mean next year?
He already has a Bentayga lol
He already has a w12 bentayga
I love it...Bentley having a "luxury trim level" is like supercars having "sport mode".
Or even Supercruiser mode.
The rear lights look like anus
“Hmmm the floor here is made out of floor”
Or track mode
@@purwantiallan5089 Bentley means crap pants.
This video feels very emotional to him for some reason. You can tell just how much he loves the Bentayga and how he’s disappointed of how it ended up now. He came in to this car with high hopes but wasn’t quite satisfied. Damn
dumbass Doug, the chauffeur, complaining about the engine not being a w12, like why didn't you ride in the back and review it like a normal common sense reviewer does, bc, that is what matters.. we don't care what the paid hire thinks
You’re right, and it’s true. Other than the fact that it’s stretched there’s not enough to distinguish it from a current 100k soccer mom Bentayga, along with the powertrain being much less smooth/refined as the original Bentayga. You’d expect x4 the price on a chauffeur-focused vehicle would offer more than just extra leg room, a re-centered sunroof, front seats in the rear and some tweaks to a lack-luster infotainment. There are chauffeur vehicles from over 20 years ago that are quieter, more luxurious and more refined that this. And it’s sad to see THIS is the best Bentley can do in 2023
@@Juberdingus the Bentayga still looks cool. Although not as cool as Continental.
@@Juberdingus Perhaps the 2nd edition will be an improvement.

This would actually be the ideal car for Doug for his 3,000 mile high speed blasts to Nantucket from San Diego and back.
what is high speed good for if it breaks down 7 times on that distance lol
Too cheap, he's in the 1M market lol
@@holden998able lol yes I think he’s moved on from the Defender P400 days. Can’t see the Mercedes E450 All-Terrain lasting long.
@@2dan_ Bentley does all the hot & cold weather testing program as any VW or Audi, and that V8 (variant thereof) is well proven in the Urus & Panamera.
@@2dan_ He was driving a Land Rover Defender and you want to talk about reliability lol
5:05 Doug saying "goodbye peasant" like that just made my week
I thought it made you a month
Basically the sort of thing Doug would usually say to people when he drives his Luxury cars😂😂😂
What's truly amazing is how Bentley stretched that vehicle and decontented it enough that it looks like a $70,000 SUV in 3 years, after the lease.
Depreciation will hit this hard as it always does to Bentleys.
The only positive is the loss of the W12 for an engine that's a bit more reliable. The only reason to have considered this vehicle was for the W12 engine for the power and uniqueness.
@@2006gtobob I am 99% sure that you just directly contradicted your own statement
@@poppachoppa8956 I had to read it back like 4 times 😂
@@poppachoppa8956 for me i had to backtrack it 9 times.
Doug, driving assist tech is huge now and plays a significant part in many peoples car purchasing decisions. I think it would really beneficial if you start discussing specifically what driving assist tech a car comes with in your reviews. Thank you.
Yes - and especially since Doug only buys a daily driver with active cruise control, he should give his verdict on each car’s systems.
Maybe it would make sense to name em. But I don‘t think that „discussing“ the driving assists would be interesting for the majority of the people. Fine, it would be interesting to know what kind of drive assists the car has. But if Doug would start mentioning it beyond naming it or telling the people if its up to the industry standards or not, I would personally be skipping the parts. As I think most people would do. If you really consider buying the rewied car, I think you should test out the assistants by trying the car out before buying it :)
@@tomknoden2547 I agree to be honest. I could care less what kind of driving assist these ultra luxury cars have. There are plenty of other reviewers who go in detail about that stuff on cars bought by average folks (TheStraightPipes).
@@tomknoden2547 Y'all skip, I'm gonna watch!
Lol drive assist
Instead of a cargo pass-through I was expecting a fridge with Champaign as Doug has shown us in the Maybach luxury SUV
That’ll be another 16k sir
@@BooTub3 at the price of 300K, it should’ve included in the first place
yeah i legit thought there would be a fridge with champagne glasses in it but was very disappointed. no w12, no fridge, full of plastic buttons, no rotating infotainment screen this whole suv feels like a step backwards
@@spicyghost6655 might as well get a cullinan for a extra 100k more at this price point, lol.
Same. I'm disappointed.
The dichotomy of the cheap plastic buttons and the immaculately-crafted milled aluminum air vents/trim is wild
I like the luxurious interior but it is interesting how a Bentley is no longer many times nicer than cheaper cars. During the review I kept thinking how much nicer a Genesis GV90 could be. I think the current G90 has some things on par with this or better in terms of materials, and in Korea you not only have massaging memory heated/ventilated seats in the back, but a leg rest, foot rest and foot massage. That would still cost around 1/3 as much as this car while having metal buttons and no cheap stuff except under the seats. Once all these cars are electric, Bentley / RR / Maybach will have to step it up, and not just by slapping screens and LED strips all over the place.
The back lights look cheap as well
The Mulsanne being replaced by a Bentayga is probably the single biggest wake up call that I have experienced to the fact that cars are officially dying. I know Ford announced they would stop building cars almost half a decade ago now, but somehow that didn't surprise me as much given that I always associated them with trucks (the F series) anyways. But this, Bentley subbing their flagship chauffeur-driven land yacht with an SUV really does it for me. The end has come for cars.
Basically this is the movie Idiocracy coming to life. In a world that lacks all sense everyone is driving these SUV-like vehicles, and well...Sense or no sense in today's world the vision I got from the film is becoming reality. Real cars (as in, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, etc.) are going the way of the dodo. Ugh...!
I suppose, but is it really a bad thing? SUVs are pretty much better than sedans in every single way (sports cars should remain Sedans/Coupes for obvious reasons)
They have:
More head room
More suspension range (softer ride)
Better clearance
More cargo room
Better for inclement weather
Off-roading clearance
Can have the same footprint ( length x width )
I had a BMW coupe, then a model s, and I was really considering an S class. Now I am thinking I should go with a GLE, X6, Range Rover, Model X or Porsche cayenne. They aren’t as beautiful as many cars, but they are definitely a better value.
@AreVee I guess my issue is I've always been a traditionalist, and from what I would usually see the majority of SUVs haven't gone off-road.
more tires for the parisians to deflate
@@arercee5528 I never said it was a bad thing! Just making an observation. That said, I happen to think as a personal matter that it's a bad thing because I just don't like how SUV's look, and because more options are just generally better than less options, but that's not an objective measure and I wouldn't force that on anyone else. Regardless, the important point is that the end has come, you can form your own view about whether that's good or bad!
“Seven more inches of Bentayga” is my new go-to pickup line. Thanks Doug!
That trunk floor panel, and its plastic handle is identical to the one in my 2014 Audi A6 Avant.
I love how some cars are able to release the evil aristocratic Doug! Sometimes it is a fancy paint sometimes it's just an intercom to talk with the rear passengers
I love it 😭
He called us peasants, not plebians like he normally does. lol
@@complexity4525 the Bentley W8 looked too powerful.
Amazing. The rear liftgate opens to reveal a Q7.
Yeah, I figured the pass-through would at have a bag or something to keep wet skis from dripping on your airplane-quality seats.
Everything under the hood of the big VW SUVs is basically the same. VW Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus and the Bentley
Hearing Doug say long boii is a highlight of my week.
😂
Sorry to hear it
Where did he say this I deadass missed it
Wow, saw one just yesterday. It was wrapped in a shiny flat purple and the music blaring from it told me it’s occupants were having tons of fun.
Bet ya it wasn’t country 😂
So glad The Dugster closed the rear door with "Good by pesents." He really enjoys that, and I enjoy his enjoyment.

I used to think something like $11,000 seats was crazy but then I started buying vintage mid century modern furniture, then it didn't seem so crazy anymore.
at least you're investing your money into really beautiful furniture. and hopefully no one acts a fool around your nice stuff.
Lincoln has 30 way seats

@@btbcc12859 a 30-way? Like a three way? An orgy?
"Let the wild rumpus begin..." hahahaha 😆 love the channel, Doug. Keep up the great work.
I would have liked to see those rear seats in the relaxed position.
5:06 me driving away from the McDonald’s drive thru window
At $300K, I'm surprised at how unimpressed I am with its features. I mean, it LOOKS amazing, but there are some shortcomings that are hard to understand:
1. I don't think a trunk pass-through will be widely used by someone who is getting chauffered around in this car. Does someone really want something poking into the back seat from the trunk and resting on the leather armrest, taking away armrest space for themselves?
2. Does this car not have a separate climate control zone for the back seat? That seems silly.
3. they put a run-of-the-mill infotainment system with a small screen in the front (looks like one you'd find in a $35K Honda).
4. excessive use of plastic on the front dashboard and center console.
5. the tray tables in the back are tiny and pretty much useless. They sit too far from the back seat and there doesn't appear to be any way to slide them back toward you. And they are too small to use a laptop on for work.
6. The screens in the back are also nothing special. I mean, the new BMW i7 has a massive screen that comes down from the ceiling and you can get that car for half the price of this one.
7. The rear center console isn't more than a well-appointed storage box with cup holders that you can find in a VW Golf.
and 8. I'm just not generally impressed by any new ICE vehicle anymore.
Don't get me wrong. The car is BEAUTIFUL and has some amazingly luxurious appointments. But as an ultra-luxury $300K+ vehicle, I think it falls a bit short (despite its long wheel base 🤣).
@5:00: Doug waited for this moment his whole life. 💀
Not going to lie, with the likes of Chevy and Ford creeping past the 100k mark on their trucks and SUVs, a 300k Bentley somehow comes across as less prestigious than it should.
Doug is the type of guy to have a fighter jet show up in his sunroof at 18:34
Awesome observation!
I came to the comment section to check if i was the first to notice those fighter jets..I guess not. Definately one of the coolest random sightings during a video!
I love these type of reviews by Doug... Stupidly expensive cars full of quirks & features. I want more!
"Goodbye peasant, haha", I laughed so hard at this.Gotta love Doug
That's a nice looking Volkswagen Atlas!
Can’t wait for Doug review the GT3RS.
Incredible car. I think they missed one thing though… heated and cooled cupholders.
They missed another thing, making it look and feel like a Bentley, just a pathetic overpriced AudiQ7. The Mulsanne was the last of the real Bentleys.
The extra length actually makes the Bentayga look good. All the sculpting and decoration that looks overwrought on the regular wheelbase vehicle ...actually
looks good here...
That’s a lot of money for an extra long Q7
Doug is the kind of guy to sit down when taking a leak.
It's a quirk and/or feature.
@bradley163
Or the cat litter tray to be edgy
I really like your review.
Very professional (+ fan and very entertaining).
It also called Legend,thank.
Haven't seen this much wood trim in a while, I'm glad someone's still doing it
"you press the button and then, ...goodbye peasant". I lmfao Doug, you are so funny
I miss "starting with the weekend categories..." so much. Doug should bring that back.
I knew something was missing but couldnt put my finger on it exactly
Agreed.
Honestly, I miss the breakdown of each category in the Doug Score. It was interesting to see WHY Doug gave each score.
Me too!
I liked the breakdown.
yeah the breakdown of the ds will be missed
@@kyledexter485 this breakdown somehow better than race rundown from WTF1.
Gotta hand it to VW, they've managed to find a way to resell the same Q7 over and over again... This time for 300k!! Madness

Thanks man 👍
Great Depression
Ultra level depression.
@@mars9118how
Super duper depression
Wow you nailed this one. Great point about the engine that actually also translates to many other vehicles too that are supposed to feel distinct, and not just be a carbon copy with leather
Lunamaria, the Bentayga has 30kgs heavier than even R35GTR.
Just noticed Doug changed his logo to a Carerra GT 🥰 still very happy for him!
How it should've been from the jump, imo.
Actually, when rumors of Bentley/RR SUVs started surfacing, I imagined something the size of an Excursion/Suburban. Presumably, few will utilize the off road capabilities. I know I wouldn't want mud etc. in my handcrafted interior.
excursion/Suburban sized bentley's and RR's kills the European market
@@moseskamau406 - Fair point!
The regular wheelbase doesn't seem any bigger than a Mazda CX-5. Meanwhile, Suburban, Escalade, Excursion, and Denali (and maybe even the QX80?) are still huge compared with the extended wheelbase Bentley. My biggest complaint though has to be all the wind and road noise you can clearly hear in the video, for $300,000 I'd expect a quieter ride...and a fridge in that rear passthrough. Might as well buy a Genesis instead, and have money leftover for another house.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 CX-5 still drove better than Bentayga tho.
@@moseskamau406 agree.

This is the future. I had a 86 Bronco 2 with the 2.9 liter V6 made in Germany. 4x4 auto with overdrive. Kept it 20 years and sadly the head gasket blew 300.000 + miles later. Not too much Lighting fan. I miss the old one. Thanks Mr. Osborne. 👍👍❤❤🤑🤑😎😎
Anyone who would rather have this than a wraith from 7 years ago is insane
So excited for the GT3 RS!
I'm so glad they fixed the grill!
Doug can you please explain on each categories in the Doug score. I miss that a lot. Please upvote this so that Doug can see this
The Bentega is really showing its age, inside and out.
Land Cruiser blows it away
Grandchild can use the car
Lol
@@listennowbreathThe Land Cruiser is more of an off road oriented vehicle, but I agree in terms of capabilities, and reliability
The Bentayga has been on sale since 2015. It is getting old.
Ah yes, a highly customisable Audi Q7
VW is the master at milking platforms. The MLB evo platform used for the Bentayga is also used on the Audi Q7, Q8, A4, A5, A6, A7, E-tron, Touareg, Cayenne and Urus.
@Daedalus I believe its also used on the atlas cross sport, correct me if I'm wrong
@@JcksnACC I think the Atlas Cross Sport uses the MBQ platform. The same platform used on the MK7 Golf etc.
Ultra expensive vw touareg
I thought they look similar. So same suv just different front stuff lol
Hope that GT3 RS review comes Thursday. Praying for it. My favorite car right now
I also had a chance to review the Bentley Bentayga EWB, I must say I love that blend between classic and modern! It doesn't strike as an SUV to me, but rather as an oversized wagon, like those big Bentleys of the 1960s!
Im not one to complain when manufacturers restyle the front and rears but man the like 2008 - 2016 Bentley styling looked a lot more iconic, more attractive IMO
With yua on that. In my mind the tail light design could be off a Trabant.
19mins late today Doug, I was getting worried
I always wondered why and to who car manufacturers make drivers manual. I think Doug is the only car enthusiast to ever read them.
I'm only 17 and I really want a customized Bentley Bentayga in the configurator 😌 Thank You for the review
I visited a customer in Salt Lake City a few months ago, where he and his wife had his and her Bentaygas.
They took the ejecting rear seat tablet from the Volkswagen Phaeton, mine has that 😄
The Phaeton was a great car that no one brought because people couldn't get over the badge. That thing was built like a tank.
@Al mac I know! It was the best value for money used luxury car when I bought it, and I really researched this. And I actually haven't had to have anything repaired besides standard maintenance in about 50k miles so far.
That pop out tablet in the back seat is so cool.
Been waiting for this review
Wow the new Volkswagen Atlas looks really great!
Another great video from Doug.
W
it is a Q7
13:24 the sunroof is actually different. The sunroof on the standard Bentayga is from an Audi A4 wagon, Q3 and others and is shorter. This one is the larger one from VW Passat, Q7 Tiguan etc.
True, had the same Q7 Vibes from the trunk
4:02 Nice reference to “Where the Wild Things Are.” Haven’t read that to the the kiddos in a while!
That little removable tablet thing in the back is awesome.
I’ve seen a couple of Bentaygas around the Dallas area and i must say i REALLY hate those oval taillights… don’t know who else feels the same
Just reading the comments to see if anyone else thinks the back of this looks terrible,those taillights look like a Chinaman with a nasty hangover 🤣🤣
“Goodbye peasant” really hit different now that Doug cashed out on Cars & Bids and bought a Carrera GT
Fun review. Doug the used car salesman! 🙂
Doug you are the truth. This English dude did not tell anything about the interior of the Bentayga. I salute you
I hope they bring out another car like the Mulsanne and Arnage. Hand built sedans like those are core to Bentley’s identity. All of their current lineup are mass production vehicles.
They do it for profit😕
The Interieur really didn't scream luxury with the many spots with cheap plastic and the overall design is kind of 90s with the awkward wood inlays and doily pattern in the leather.
Thanks you. I thought I was the only one thinking this. Especially for $300k
Agreed
THIS made my day.
I can’t help but think how the side profile looks like a vw atlas, with the motor of an Audi, and a rear end of the Lincoln mkc
PSA:Doug said baller my week is made
Damn... 542hp! Ik it's not the W12 but u can't argue with that kind of power

Doug's the type of dad who drops "Where The Wild Things Are" references in his reviews
The Speed still has the W12! So there is still time for you Doug!
Some storage, massaging seats and a little door to the trunk is surprisingly little for such an expensive car. My friends 2006 S class seems like the Meter choice since it also has a refrigerator
Agreed my Range Rover Autobiography LWB has all of those features and 2 fridges
At only 300K, might as well take two!
Love the fact that doug just said "the long boiii" lmao.
The exact same Grey, plastic spare tire tray handle as my 2018 Audi AllRoad!
I like your videos. And thanks for writing the measurements in metric underneath! 🤩
A nice Q7 indeed.
😂😂😂😂
It's interesting that Doug talks about it being a car for being chauffeur driven but is highlighting the button to close the door. That's what chauffeurs do.
My VW Up also has Airline Seats in the back. It's just that the airline is RyanAir.
This is my dream SUV! amazing job Doug.
I absolutely love your content and I think that your the the best car channel on all of RUclips. Thank you for posting all these amazing videos and just keep doing great.
That upholds the true glory of the shaggin' wagon, indeed.
I spat out my drink when Doug threw “the long boi” at us
Having been in the Bentayga W12 I see where you’re coming from, also it doesn’t help that the Bentayga also shares its platform with the Q7, Touareg, Urus, Cayenne etc, let alone its V8, I know somebody who had a Bentayga and they said it felt similar to drive to their Touareg they used to have, I think the Bentayga definitely needs a redo within the next few years, especially since the new Range Rover is just behind it on price depending on trims and also offers a very competitive luxury SUV with arguably more going for it, I personally can’t see why you’d take any V8 Bentayga over a Cullinan or Range Rover based off what they all offer combined, I can see it being a great option if you want a more luxurious Cayenne though.
You’re right, and I guess that the main drawback is that it doesn’t have 12 cylinders anymore - that is something special …
@@henrikbragge I was in awe over that W12 such an incredible engine and the sound is just perfect
@@Offensivebeast That’s not hard to understand 🤙🏻 I don’t know If there is some politically correct reason for the skipping of the W12, but everything’s possible these days …
@@henrikbragge emissions are stricter, fuel consumption regulations are stricter also noise regulations are stricter each year and even if they limit its production to close to nothing to counter those regulations then it drives up production costs and brings lower profit margins, and once accountants see that they’ll be lobbying to axe it completely which is why it’s on the way out in the next few years.
@@Offensivebeast Well written answer 👍🏻 you’re right. We’ll see for how long the Speed model will have it. Internal combustion engine enthusiasts must be attentive before it’s too late …
I hope Doug does a review of the Maserati Grecale. It seems like a tremendous car that has the potential to pave the way for Maserati’s comeback.
It looks like shit
5:06 absolutely hilarious, especially out of context
The bezels on those back seat screens are huge
More details on the Dougscore, please! Don't know why you brushed over that when your videos are detail oriented...

@@DanielGonzalezkyv Very true. I've actually been looking to purchase a wrecked BMW M4 to fix myself from a salvage auction. The only thing that concerns me about these vehicles is that parts can be difficult to find.
