Why doesn't MotoMan have more subscribers? I subscribe to a lot of RU-vid car review channels and he is right at the top for quality production and presentation. I have your back MotoMan.
I do agree with your concerns about safety around putting every single control into the infotainment system rather then hard buttons and knobs in the centre console.
Here I was watching the other Bentayga video from, what, 5 years ago now, just yesterday, lamenting that they never sent you one for a full review. Nice.
I like that red interior! Great to see something other than the boring black, beige, and gray that are all-too-common. Don’t forget the HomeLink garage door opener - that’s optional (even though it’s standard in their least expensive VW models). And your discussion of physical switches, buttons, and knobs - why hasn’t the NTSB stepped in and regulated this?!? Don’t forget 747’s - we’ve got physical switches in our cockpit too!!!
The reason why the Bentley Dynamic Ride 48-volt system is optional, or the reason why it should be, is because it is not one for everyone. Same case with the E-active Body Control 48-volt system on some Mercedes-Benz. The ride makes some people carsick because the car is constantly adjusting itself underneath, and people notice that and can get carsick as a result. Once you get the system in your car...the is *NO* turning it off completely. It is not a matter of pulling off one or two components. It is the entire drive system. Take out the battery, the entire car's driving will fall apart...assuming the car is not undrivable. This system is just like aeroplane travel. It is not for everyone.
Love this guys reviews... All the real detail and tech we want to know.. Without the lame attempts at humour and bs so many other are into... He is the best
I liked this review, and the car that much today was the third time I’ve watched it and still can’t afford it unless I can persuade my wife to live in a tent!
I wish all influencers would point out as you did the safety and complexity of “new screen technology. I have a new Cayenne, to change the radio station I have to hit media - favorites and finally scroll to the station I want. After all that I have to get back to the screen I want on like nav or home, and that is only the tip of the issues. My turbo Panamera had screen activated center vents, some sick bastard has to be chuckling himself to sleep.
I can completely appreciate the extra lighting touches for the facelift. HOWEVER, I think I prefer the old rear-end. This taillight design is more at home on a Flying Spur.
I hear you on the weight of the V8 vs V12 but the 12 is usually smoother. I would be curious if the smoothness is something Bentley buyers would prefer.
Wouldn’t a maxed out S-class be as practical, faster, roomier and more luxurious than this for $20K less all in? This only works in the fantasy where you take it off road, and even then probably not.
I like the red interior, stands out from the usual suspects. It works well with the bright work. Did they replace the Breitling clock on the V8 with a generic one? It looks different than the one on the new Speed. Overall, its better than the old one, but I'm not still not a fan. M, can you sweet-talk them into giving you a Continental with the Côtes de Genève pack? Santa Maria Madre De Dios, that is something else! Excellent work as always, M.
Must admit, the Côtes de Genève finish looks flash . . . but you know I am old fashioned and would do satin finish wood. As for the clock, I, too, miss the Breitling.
Basic fashion rule: your socks color have to match either the color of your shoes or your trousers. Yes even if you're an American, and particularly when you're driving a Bentley! ;-)
Bentleys are a bit of guilty pleasure for me (from afar, mind). Nice video - but you couldn't REMOVE YOUR SHOES when sitting in that nice carpeted cargo area? Tsk-tsk.
Please continue preaching physical knobs for the common functions! I was looking at Range Rovers a few weeks ago and JLR has completely lost the plot with Rovers. No hard buttons (capacitive touch on the steering wheel doesn't count) and two multi-function dials for the whole system. It's stupid. Bentley has found a VERY NICE middle ground, and they should hold that ground.
Compared to other luxury German SUV's, the new Bentayga is $100k too much money. There just isnt that much impressive or even tangible difference. Cast aluminum wheels, plastic chrome trim, flat black plastic around the shifter, manual reclining rear seats, etc..??? Fabric sun shade instead of alcantara? Top Flagship German SUV models dont leave these luxury amenities out. This Bentley should not be any more than $140k. Its a VAG product to begin with and I see too much of VAG with the interior parts. At this price point we can/should be critical so why is the drivers leather seats already showing wear with leather creases on the bottom bolster? Too many reviews will never point these issues out because they want to review the next RR or Bentley.
Welcome Bentley Bentayga - same platform like Audi, Cayenne - Urus funny that the Porsche is the "cheap" car here? All same ZF - heaviest but most leather Bentayga. "Can we get rid of the Tupperware" in the engine bay please? that's a quote which will be used more often now! :))))) Now the all important question Which one will you choose?
I would say it's extra plush like last century plush with all the leather, chrome etc. more a carriage then a car. Not my cup of tea. It will not age well.
Looks like they've changed the exterior styling quite a bit. The original MK-1 Bentayga was one of the ugliest SUVs I've ever seen; genuinely horrible design. The Audi Q7 it was based on was a far nicer looking vehicle. It's subjective, but I'm not a fan of that rust-red interior leather at all either.
I just feel like he's taking away the whole idea of reviewing a car versus him sitting and lounging in a car garage .....bro it's a bentayga not a Ford mustang .....#tightenupp
buttons. Nearly every journo in the world , and maybe even you Motorman, bagged Porsche for its buttons, now you get cars that one must search a fricken menu while driving to change the vent angle.. 2 things to learn, 1/ journos have no idea, 2/ car manufacturers have no idea as they listen to #1 Range Rover vs Bentayga, why will no one compare them? Not subjective looks, but ride qualty, dynamics....
@@MotoManTV I will check,,,,as I said, "maybe even you', you would be the only one that didnt! I love our Cayenne buttons, driven a few new ones and I'm not buying... but what about the Range Rover v Bentayga???????
Bentley have realized that if you are a peasant with new money and want to black out your Bentayga, you need to pay for the right to torture style that much ! Cashing in on bad taste. I think they should triple the price on that pack, so that these black abominations of specs are scarce on our eyes.
Moto man listen close bro .....it's annoying to see you do a disorientation of a car in the car garage ....are you a analyst or a mechanic and please lose the act it's getting old we know your British get over it!!!!!!
