Should You Buy a Bentley Bentayga V8 and Save £30k?! | TEST DRIVE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Would you believe that Bentley have already delivered 10,000 Bentayga SUVs?! Well now it's time to add an extra model in the line-up in the form of one equipped with a 4.0 litre twin turbo V8, making 550 horsepower and 770Nm of torque but shaving £30,000 off the price tag of the W12 model. Let's head to Kitzbühel in Austria to experience the car and discovered what it's all about!
Driving a car painted in Orange Flame, and equipped with a huge array of options, in fact taking the retail price from the base of £136,000 all the way up to nearly £223,000, we get started from the snowy ski resort. Following a walkaround to explore the car it's up into Germany for an Autobahn blast before some very pleasant dynamic roads to discover the variability of the systems in the Bentayga.
It has to be said, there is very little to fault the Bentayga on outside of the price tag when you're finished with the options list. Everything you expect from a Bentley is there; comfort, top level luxury, effortless power, so join me for the experience and let's discover it in full.
Thanks for watching, Tim

The Bentley Bentayga with a V8 has a £30k saving on the W12, does that make it the one to buy? Let's explore and find out!
Shmee150 how many cars do you own?
It will be great if Bentley make a performance edition of the bentayga
+Belal I have 4 right now but the GT3 arrives next week!
+Bryan I wonder if something like that will happen, but don't forget how much power the W12 Bentayga already has
The Black specification wheels would look much nicer.
I can't even afford the 1:18 scale model lol
and why would you?
The new V8 is certainly a tad more economical and it sounds better!
But, at the price point of the Bentayga, £30k extra is no big difference, so I'd opt for the W12!
This looks like a London Taxi in orange. I wouldn't touch it with a stick. Hats off for getting exited over it.
The best version, after driving them all is the V8 Diesel
After a mild tune it’s over 500bhp & 1,000Nm and you get 35mpg
Simply superb and the reason I bought a second hand one to replace my dad’s BMW X5 3litre diesel, an excellent car itself, but not in the same ballpark after owning the Bentley 👍🏻
Just noticed something!!! When most people get excited their voices go higher!!! Smees voice does the opposite! You go deep the more excited you get!
If you go for the less powerful V8 then you could aswell get the V8 TDI. Costs less and has longer range, very good for enormous roadtrips :)
The new Bentayga with the W12 is the most impressive SUV you can get on the market right now!!🔝 I really appreciate the luxury interior and the attention to detail of Bentley! My favorite Bentayga is the V8 with its sporty black elements 😍 Thanks, Tim #shquad
No you should buy a gtc4lusso
For me probably that makes more sense, but you can see why the Bentayga has been huge for Bentley
Shmee150 oh yeah it most certainly is. i guess i just like a car to be a little more sporty. altough it might be a more suited car as a daily.
Read the title more carefully... it doesn't say "should I buy the Bentayga".
i'm expecting a Novitec Lusso in your garage soon, Tim !!! :D
If I could choose just one car to have for the rest of my life it would be this 🙂
TheCarLovingSwede wow! Really? It's a luxurious grocery mobile.
GTRS yes but it is very versatile, and I would want something that I could use for anything 😉 what would you choose?
TheCarLovingSwede I have chosen multiple cars (4 currently) which all add up to less than the cost of this. Jeep Wrangler unlimited, Toyota 4Runner, Porsche Cayman and a 1967 Mustang.
The right tool for the right job. This Bentley cost an obscene amount and isn't great at anything.
My Jeep and 4 Runner would crush it off road, the Mustang would crush it in a straight line, and the Cayman would destroy it on windy roads.
This is a grocery getter for a guy with a multi-million dollar car collection
GTRS Nice cars. But what I meant is that you could only have ONE car for the rest of your life. NOTHING else.
Best reviews on the internet by far. No stuttering and straight to the point. Good job @Shmee150
It is honestly a beautiful car, the very finest of the british automotive industry 👏🏽👏🏽 another excellent review shmee
Waste of money really.I'd rather get an Audi SQ7 fully spected.Better sporty drive,still great interior and you save money on this car.Still great video.
Been watching your content for a little while now. Thank you for increased content. Just subbed
In love with the Bentayga! If I had a dream garage, and obviously I do, then this would be in it for sure.
Watching from kenya, 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 Great stuff Shmee150
This has the same paint colour and similar interior finish to the Ford Ranger Wildtrak. The Ranger has the advantage of 100% tax relief and VAT refund for eligible businesses, so may well take a significant chunk of sales away from the Bentayga. Also you could easily get a fleet of ten fully loaded Rangers with significant change for the price of one Bentayga. Slam-Dunk!!!
Greetings from Colorado, Carmrades. Stunning! Speechless! Priceless! I mean priceFUL!
Excellent video as always. Very informative and I enjoy all the background information about the car.
It's almost like the reviewers were told not to mention that this engine is a diesel or that it's the same engine found in the Audi SQ7...BUT what do I know🙃???
Qin Zungu But this one isn’t the V8 diesel engine. This one has the V8 petrol engine look at the rpm’s in the instrument cluster or just listen to the sound. But yes the V8 diesel shares the engine whit the audi sq7
Giel Timmermans wow, car guy!
It's a great idea to put a V8 in the Bentayga, same idea as offering it in the Conti GT. I really like the Bentayga, i see a lot of them around my area, i'd happily save the £30k over the W12 & grab the V8.
Very informative yet fully decked out with all the bells and whistles to keep you on your feet.
Great video! You’ve chosen the right roads.
@shmee the only difference between man’s and boy’s are the price of their toys ;).
i have to say that such driving and sliding through snow corners is normal for a 50$k + 4x4 suv . In a nissan xtrail 2017 i can do pretty much the same sliding and drifting like in the bentayga.
It's luxurious, and without doubts a very good car. But I'd prefer an Urus... and I think it could fit you better. Or you can wait the Ferrari SUV
You know what, I'm really excited to try the Urus when they become available to the media - it will be a fascinating one to experience
I wish I was as happy as you are for even 5 minutes a day. Lol
It’s a good idea for Bentley I think. There’s plenty of performance and luxury SUV’s but can see a lot of Bentley customers wanting better all weather options at that comfort level. Much rather have that than the Urus etc. I’d rather take the V-8 with more options than the extra 50k for the W12 too.
Same 4.0 V8 you can find in the Audi RS6! The sound is so distinctive!
While the base price is expensive, it is reasonable. However the extras really take the piss as a percentage of the base price and compared to the total price of a well loaded Q7.
I really like this car, I think about buying this car
Shmee giving precious consumer advice 😂😂
Campaign work some uczzfit particle emphasis after stable transform express.
Yes definitely love your vids keep up the good work
Thanks for the support!
Listen by no means am I saying that a VW Touareg is a Bentley but some of the similarities of that body and interior are noticeably close. The door panels the panoramic roof the overall size look really close.
sorie kondi
There’s a new updated Touareg on the way very soon.
Love the videos Shmee, but honestly... I don't understand when you open the bonnet to show us the engine bay when 95% of it is covered in plastic. I wish more modern cars actually showed off their engines. 👍
Totally agree with you! Many commenters used to complain when I didn't show them though so I prefer to do so now as a good way to run over the numbers and explain what it does have under there.
All that plastic helps keep things tidy, quiet, and away from unqualified hands. Once you buy one, you can take the plastics off and bin them if you like, but it's not so photogenic under there.
Shmee replies to our comments that's why shmee is the best
saw this very car while driving through Kitzbühel today
Nice review! Yeah expensive but most people will have this only car. It suits all needs.
Did anyone else realise that the Bentley shmee drove it registered on uk plates but is left hand drive? and no the image isn’t flipped because the plate is still the right way around.
Not even a min in...there is nothing on the exterior that you spoke above that is different from the W12 or the Diesel for that matter. All that blacked out trim is optional and available across the range. ;)
I would go for the Bentayga Mansory 😎
That's been a huge project for Mansory
Shmee150 But a cool one for sure!💪
I would not! I picked up a V12 Mansory one year ago! That car was so fucked up by Mansory. It was lowered a lot so stability system was not working. After just some km that suspension got so stiff. Bentley Hamburg could do nothing about it so i had to drive it to Sweden where i live. And then transport it back to the car dealer in Hannover. Had to change back to original springs! Todays cars are not ment to tune like old cars. All systems these cars have does fuck it up good.
Good morning from Singapore.love your video
Selling 10,000 of them just means we'll get even more crossovers from these companies. RIP performance sedans.
Amazing review keep up the good work shmee150
You are the best youtuber!
Yeah I definitely should buy one, if I had the money.
The Bentayga is one of the best looking SUVs out there right now. (In my opinion)
You should also come to Vorarlberg (west from Tirol). we have nice roads there to :)
*Nope, I'd rather buy a fully optioned Macan Turbo w/ Performance package, and still be able to afford a 911 Carrera T. Alternatively, you could forgo the 911, and just buy a Macan Turbo or a Cayenne Turbo with basically every option box ticked, and save yourself a small fortune. Plus, I can imagine that the reliability with Porsche is better and your service bills would be far less than that of the Bentley would be.*
This is the one I would go for!
6:57 actually, this is basically (I suppose) the same braking system from the Urus, at least the dimensions are the same, so the Bentayga isn't the only car with those enormous brakes ;)
Maybe for now then it is! I think the Bentayga V8 deliveries start before Urus, but you're definitely right about that.
There is very little to fault that car...? To me it looks very much like a London cab, it can be loaded with whatever options and be built by whoever, but at the end of day it still looks like a London Cab.
Great Vlog 👍
Did anyone notice more cabin noise than w12??
As it's a similar engine to the Panamera Turbo S I wonder if it will come with that car's hybrid system?
Hi Tim, what do you think of the episode on grand tour about the ford gt, and I realized that each one of the 6 cylinders is making more horsepower then all the Compton if you multiple 108 horsepower by 8 cylinders in other cars.
How would you compare it with the urus, range rover and the GTC 4 Lusso????
I love Sthmee, great review, just subscribed
What’s up shquad!
Welcome back to the channel!
Wasn't the Bentley at the end of the video the W12 because the number plates where different I'm sure the v8 was orange and had a different reg
That touchscreen is from a vw golf... or a different vw car. That is so cheap in a huge bentley luxury car I think so.
Hi Shmee! Currently watching from The Philippines! I'd get a Continental over the Bentayga though.
I'm a great fan but of your work and passion! Would it be possible for you to say also torque numbers in lb per foot ...lb pound per feet????
Yes
Prototype museum in Hamburg. You should visit Hamburg. Come on!☺
I'll look into it!
Perfect spec. I would spec it like that too!!!😍👌🤤
Hi Shmee! Love the vids. Would you take this or a Urus?
the thing for me is it doesnt seem to jump out at you does it, apone first look its just another suv .a bentley gt for example screams hey im a bentley admire me, but this just doesnt do that, infact id go as far to say a range rover does look alot better and for spending over 130 grand id want it to scream look at me at least more than it does, but it just doesnt, think id rather have a range rover or a Q7
Anyone with a video link of the bentayga diesel exhaust sound? Factory exhaust
Oh mannnn i love SUVs....
Looking forward to the Hybrid tests.
From some angles - with that colour - it just looks a bit like a Cross Polo ^^ - if you have no reference points for scale of course ;)
Great Video as always! When will you be at the Geneva motorshow?
On both press days
Use the 30k savings for a Novitec extra-loud exhaust and carbon parts
V8: Buyer's Remorse
V12: Seller's Remorse
Shmee get one!!
I just don't think i could justify this Bentley over 1 GLC 63S 1 BMW X5M and one Q7.
It sounds so good.
hi shmee is the bentaygas exterior big or is smal like the cayenne 92a?
Superb
What do you think about Jon Olsson's new RS6 (Phoenix)?
You considering one?
Some people say this v8 diesel have 3 Turbo ......Is True ???
This Bentley Bentayga looks like a grizzly bear!
Maan........ Damn car though.
Shmee>MrJWW
I saw on February the 26th some Bentaygas with British license here in Chiemgau drive. Were you there?
Nope I am in Germany.
Chiemgau is in Germany! Between Munich and Salzburg. Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria.
Not there in Germany... ;)
This is a pity^^
No soft close bonnet. Complete deal breaker
Man, how could they forget that!!
good vid, thanks. Porsche need to knock on bentleys door and ask the old boys about how to reduce road noise in the Cayenne. Big fail...so buy Range Rover
Gm stunning suv
Yesterday I saw a pink one
Goodness that's a brave choice
Shmee150 thank u so much 4 replying (that made my week
Any time, thanks for watching!
fire raider last week I saw a pink Tesla Model X. That was cruel even for a non Tesla-fan like me.
Probably belonged to Katie price. she even got her veyron sprayed pink! bit dumb but hey ho it's her money
10:13 Or, as Richard Hammond put it, Swamp, Minefield, Christmas and Mexico
The engine is lighter, so it drives assumable better!
It's only 25kg lighter though, it isn't a huge difference
Automotive Mike 25kilos.. you wont even notice that..the car is already well over 2 tonnes
Handling wise the difference may come if the V8 is mounted further back than the 12 cylinder one. Still probably marginal difference at best.
True boii👻👌🏎
HE SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO BE THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR AND WOMEN ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO THE YEAR FOR ME AS I
The title is like "Should I but Chiron and save £100k?
Maserati Levante is so much special and looks as same as expensive even it is much cheaper.
Fr. Duffy Fighting 69th Yes, that's because it's more expensive. But the Levante is way better looking
I'm aware of that but still Levante is much more pleasant as a product. When I see Bentayga I see just high priced Touareg. VAG should learn from BMW as RR cars didn't lose any charm they had during 20th century.
The price difference of the V8 and the W12 is probably around 70k/90k in the Netherlands... :|
Schmently Schmeetayga V8? :D
Good try xD
Just fun :) we enjoy your videos! tip for you: maybe sometimes in future try to visit VW factory in Slovakia, home of all Q7s and Tuaregs. Cheeers
Shmee150, more AMG GT-R vlogs, please!
Soon more :)
Hello from Seattle
a masterpiece
So the porshe will be only a track car right?
Tim, why don't you use some royalty free music through bluetooth to show us the sound system?
Microphone will never pick the quality of all those speakers. That is impossible.
Got it! I just think it would give us a slight idea of it, maybe being able to compare with others. Just a thought ;)
To answer the question, " is it the one to buy" .... Yes. For a£30k saving even when specced, as it balances out, anything else is just being arrogant, and gains you nothing in real terms.
