@@gman6059 well, he can afford to buy a new bentley, but probably can not afford the depreciation; This bentley lost 50k in depreciation in 1 year; the countach gained a lot since he bought it, while the others were already depreciated (murcielago)
I love gauges, buttons knobs and levers. Everything being a touch screen just doesn't give that feel affirming the action required. And it just doesn't provide that look that a dash should have
"That may or may not have been six figure speeds..." Sounds like that Bentley is now the fastest manned vehicle of any type, and by quite a big margin!
@@tim3172 good try but no speeding ticket is six figures... he ment 3 figures but is hoovie still and always ... even when he's trying hard to be "sophisticated tyler"
Funny how I still love this channel even though I sold all my collector cars and live out of a backpack in Mexico. All these prices just remind me of the simple things, walking for free and 50 cent street tacos. What a wonderful world.
One of my pet peeves with these luxury vehicles that are so expensive is the small stuff... those steering wheel buttons are generic VW parts bin, those heater controls are generic VW parts bin. If I'm going to pay 100k more than the Q7 it's based on, I don't want the same buttons. VW is the worst culprit for this... I've been in so many of VWs brands and it's sad that the 200k Bentley has the same power mirror switch (except chrome) as a beetle. VW isn't the only brand that does it either.
GM does it with the Cadillacs. They put really cheap switchgear into their Cadillac Escalade V. But GM always puts outrageous gizmos that nobody else has to at least try to make up for it.
I live 30 minutes from the Bentley factory in the UK and known several people who have worked there . They still use the traditional skilled craftsmen / women , especially with the leather and coachwork , that they have been using for decades .
@@markw4263 And the electronics. When you see flickery crap LED/LCD drivers that run at low frequency (you can see this all through the video) it is a red flag. It shows absolute bottom of the barrel/minimum spec electronic design and I bet that's through the car if it's on everything you can see on camera. The Japanese (Lexus) didn't even do that in 2007 with cars half this price.
Bentley tech here… the noises you hear after the tailgate latches shut are the exhaust valve actuators initializing, nothing to to with the tailgate. Just a little FYI 😉
Personally, I prefer analog gauges myself. I like knobs. Buttons with tactile feedback. I don’t think I can live with something like the Tesla Model 3, where you have to do everything on a ridiculous screen.
Yeah I am the same. I am not the best at capacitive touch buttons and I am not sure why. I once tested a range hood that used them and it was just as well i did as they had to up the sensitivity as two other people we tried during the tests had similar problems (exactly why we test things eh!)
I think Bentley’s makeover after such a short space of time killed these series one cars depreciation-wise. The Continental-like rear end really is very different. Personally, I prefer the look of the series one that you’re reviewing. But it’s the “old” shape none the less.
@@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342 i know he announces being the dumbest automotive channel of all of youtube but that really would be dumb :P (he did sell the car nicely, at the end i thought the bentley was pretty nice )
I have been to the factory in Crewe (England) many times. It’s ultra modern but still retains the feeling of true craftsmanship especially in the wood and leather trim departments. Great car! So much nicer than the Cullinan!!
the flying spur and Mulsanna i agree the Benteyga has no Bentley soul too much german, the brand lost its panache when they announced the Bentayga. its a footballers car
Awesome acceleration. I really enjoyed driving the Continental, but this looks like even more fun. You can see the torque as the cabin appears to rock back when he accelerates.
9:47 “listen to that chime” . . . I do every morning, in my 2018 Audi Q5, which stickered for 50K. The turn signal and wiper stalks are also out of the Audi parts bin. There’s your depreciation.
Came here to find this comment or post it myself if I couldn’t find it. My 2015 a8l made the same chimes, as did my wife’s older q7, as well as her current SQ5. I wonder why VAG didn’t think consumers would notice the same little details in their top shelf and mid range products?? Seems short sighted on their part. Bentleys should not make same noises as Audis
Imagine dropping a quarter million on a vehicle you put 4k miles on in 2 years, your rear hatch makes that noise, then sell it. I could see only 4k miles on a track car, or a convertible that you only drive in perfect weather for short segments of the year. But an SUV, that you maybe got into once a month? That's the difference between rich and wealthy.
That’s because they got multiple cars for every occasion. Wealthy people usually keep their luxury suv or coupe for private use which they rarely drive since majority times they ride in the back seat of their luxury sedan their private drivers.
@@emilmammadli2206 Like I said, the difference between rich and wealthy. A quarter million dropped on something you might use once a month, and you shrugged off 6 figure depreciation like it was nothing. Because it is nothing.
Its not practical to drive these types of cars on a daily basis. Low MPGs and people look at you everywhere you go. Sometimes you just want to go to the bank or grocery shopping in peace. It’s an special occasion vehicle for sure.
I love when the leather headliner stretches over time and hangs! Driving back to Bentley to fix it over and over again is better than driving it where I actually wanna go
First time I ever saw one of these was at a super posh garden market in the cotswolds of England, it was gold and had chrosme everything glistening as it pulled up. It was glorious and epicly luxurious looking
5:00 One of those "cannot be unseen" things about the Range Rover Sport is how high the dash is mounted inside, which meant they had to black out a big portion of the lower part of the windshield. I always notice that every time I see one of these things. lol Apparently its cost savings. They wanted to reuse the normal big Range Rover dash, but in the smaller Sport body, so the dash board doesn't actually fit quite right, so they blank out that portion of the windshield to try and hide it.
That’s actually not the reason at all, if you look at the interior of the big one the dash is completely different from the sport. Not sure why it’s like that but it creates a good driving position either way lol
7:45 the puddle lights are modified for that Centenary Edition package, with the gold ring around the “B”. I’ve never seen multi-colored puddle lights before, they’re just white lights typically. Nice touch.
Well done Tyler! This was the most entertaining review of Bentayga I've seen. You're sensory description of the vehicle explains the heavy lust factor for buyers. Just wait 3-5 more years when all the complexity goes 4-wheels to the sky!
I agree Robert. Doug is informative and so good to see the details but I agree this was the most entertaining.. I loved watching Harry Metcalf drive and review it as well
I miss the days when luxury car makers catered to their customers' superiority complex by making them *feel* more important with the latest and greatest safety features and cutting-edge engineering. Now it's about how much crap they can cram into a car. I remember pulling up next to a '93 Mercedes with my '87 Corolla thinking, 'If we both got t-boned right now, he'd walk away and I'd be sent home in Classico pasta sauce jar only because the paramedics would spring for the larger jar with the $5 in my pocket.'
Their goal is mass production and profits, not exclusivity. The discontinued Mulsanne is the last real Bentley. Rolls Royce did it right by redeveloping the Phantom. Keeps the brand exclusivity there so you have a reason to buy a Ghost.
But then nowadays, if I'm on my '12 Corolla and I pull up against an '18 Mercedes and we were both T-boned, I do believe he'd be better off but we'd both be relatively fine.
You mean back in the day when they were the first ones to have 3 point seat belts? No that was Volvo, though technically they allowed everyone to have it. Maybe the first cars to have airbags? No that was Oldsmobile to have the first passenger airbag in 1973, with driver's side in 1975 and 1976. ABS braking? Nope...Chrysler did it in 1971. I suppose the crap you're talking about is all of the electronics that are used for both managing the vehicle's entertainment system as well as the sensors and environmental controls (to keep you comfy) in addition to things like the radar controlled cruise and other things to help make a long trip easier on the occupants. Don't change my luxury car, dammit!
The instruments and controls are familiar to any Golf/Passat owner. A beautiful car, but seems to be more of a British flavored trim level of VolksWagon than a truly unique product.
Literally every single SUV manufacturer has mastered an automatic closing tailgate that is simple, and reliable, leave it to Bentley to make it extremely complex, expensive, loud, and unreliable.
Having had a Flying Spur I would say the dealer support (lack there of) is what deter me from considering another. Closest dealership to me is 100 mins away from me. Will stick with MB which I feel is actually more luxurious and comfortable
Agreed. I’ve sat in a Bentley and it didn’t seem too much nicer than my bmw. End of the day these cars are all comfortable to be in , just depends of preference on which one you take home.
The Bentley Bentayga is a super nice car. It has all the right stuff. It has the ride. It has the comfort. It has all the premium stuff. But it’s name and look overall are just so forgettable. It just does not have the “presence” it needs for this level of car. It’s missing the “special” thing that makes people want it.
Having owned a few Bentleys, I can confirm that the look on Hoovies face when he floors it is genuine. Same thing happened to me when I first drove my Continental GT. Bentley engines are ridiculously powerful.
Continental GT never had a Bentley engine, only VW engines. Arnage, Azure, Brooklands, and Mulsanne had the Rolls-Royce-Bentley L-series V8 engine which was built in Crewe, England.
I noticed this the other day in the UK, you can pick up a used Bentayga with between 30-50k miles for about 85-90k, crazy prices. Still better than a lot of new cars, and was the fastest in the world when it was released. Only slower by 1mph over the Urus.
Can't afford a Corolla here interest rates are high very unreasonable cars don't depreciate in our Currency a base variant corolla 1.6 Automatic with limited features like Power steering Power mirrors non retractable mirrors AC ABS Steel wheels with wheel caps Cost 10393.75 USD
A super nice 2500 sqft building two doors down from my business in a nice part of the OKC Metro just sold for around that same price as that Bentley sold for new. That's nuts.
I definitely think it's a vehicle for FU amounts of money. Like you buy it because you can afford the depreciation and upkeep, while enjoying the luxuriousness of it. It's not really for people that want to enjoy it for a bit, but also need to be able to sell it and get a chunk of their money back. I just wish it had disappearing infotainment, like the cars.
I love how he acts like he couldn’t just go buy one tomorrow if he wanted. $150k isn’t that much compared to the rest of his cars if he really wanted one get could have one lol.
I have to say, this video has being one of the most enjoyable and fun videos in a while! You do great content, I have seen them all week by week, but this one was just GREAT! Keep it up!!
Man that W12 with turbos is something else. You can see the whole front end jump up on acceleration like its ready to take off into the sky. At its used price that's got to be one of the top sporty cars.
For a moment there I thought Hoovie had added narration over the video given the complete lack of noise in that cabin, not just engine, no wind, road or HVAC. Damn that thing is quiet.
You sure all those repeated clicks at the end are normal? I had a Continental GT and the motor to close the lid would whir and then the latch would grab it and click once to lock.
Good to see someone talking about the seats. Seats are a hugely under commented on aspect of car tests. I mean, you sit in the damn things from start to finish every time you drive, so you'd think they'd be right up there with 0-60 times in terms of importance !!!
Real reason why the Bentayga depreciates so rapidly: When I first saw it I thought "So this is what it would look like if Bentley built their own version of the Subaru Outback!"
I've been pretty blown away by how many of these I see driving around in my area. Considering what they cost I figured they'd be a lot more rare, but apparently people have more money than they know what to do with around here.
I think the reasoning why the Bentayga is depreciating, while its competitor are not (Although I would argue that the Range Rover is soon to depreciate very soon a lot) it’s because they already had a new facelift. In addition, I think the other reason behind it is because the Bentayga has a cheaper version, which in my opinion is even better than the standard one, which is the Plug-In Hybrid Bentayga. The Plug-In Hybrid starts at $166,425. In my opinion, compared to the competitor, is a bargain and better priced than the competition, with the only exception of the GLS Maybach. However, the Maybach is way over MSRP and in my opinion overpriced, just like G-Wagons. Knowing Mercedes-Benz product history, it won't be for long to see them crashing down in value soon. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, although my favorite, is the safest one to purchase as the depreciation is going to be extremely slow or non-existent given the fact that Rolls-Royce is just like Jeep and Porsche. Barely any changes in their car and design. There’s almost no difference between a Rolls from 2010 to a brand new one for most people and even for us car enthusiasts. The Urus is the same case like the Cullinan . And also in my own opinion as someone who’s very familiar with this types of cars, I would definitely buy the new Bentley Bentayga Hybrid over everything else due to one thing that many people don’t find out until they own one. I don’t mind the fuel economy being bad (like in a Super car) because it won’t be my daily. However, in this type of car/SUV, everybody will be looking at you all the time and sometimes it compromises your own security. Being a plug-in hybrid means that I have to stop less frequently at a fucking gas station for everybody to look at me or having the possibility to be rob gun pointed. This is something that the Bentley has an edge over the Maybach and Cullinan, in which provides this level of comfort both in real life and in my mind. In my country, Puerto Rico, is even a bigger bargain and a big deal due to the fact that we pay tariff and lot of it. A Cullinan would easy be at the $500k and above here maybe. The Normal Bentayga would be at $300k. However, because plug-in hybrid and electric cars are exempted from paying taxes and tariff. This Bentley is more cheaper than a normal GLS or normal Range Rover. Cheaper and better fuel economy, and for a car brand that has so many heritage and name, its a bargain for that level of luxury and a no brainer.
You forgot to mention the fact that they leased significantly more Bentayga models then they do with Mulsanne, or SUVs like the Cullinan, Maybach GLS. The influx of lease returns will always drive the value down. The better the lease deal the more cars will be made. The Continental and Flying Spur depreciate much quicker than the Mulsanne due to the fact the production is like 4x as much. The depreciation curve is similar to Range Rover. You only see that their “worth more” because the car originally cost more. Range Rovers lose about 50% value over 4 years($120k new, used market $65-70k which means your trade in is $55k ish). Bentayga $280k new, now 3-4 years later are $140k. Same depreciation. The high end Range Rover SVR/Autobiographies are not sold in the same numbers as the standard Range Rovers, thus will hold their value better.
@@bmwmsport11 TONS of them are leased and returned. I would venture to say 60-70% are leased, which definitely helps for second-hand ownership. The majority will have been serviced well and not driven hard at all.
Ok, here's a take: I'm guessing the reason for that particular car's depreciation is that it - performance Bentley's in particular & brand at large - are basically a 'rich man's / Boy'z toys' (not disparaging them or gender stuff here by the way). To break that down to what it means Bentley's have a heritage as luxe drivers cars - rather than Rolls which are often seen as more sedate, with models like the Phantom usually (but not always) for being chauffeured around in, also for cost reasons more often driven by older folk, not 'facelifted' as often and therefore keep relative value & kept for longer in comparison. What that also means is that when the new-er or 'refreshed' Bentley comes out, the 'old' model, regardless of how relatively recent its purchase or good it already is mostly gets replaced for the current model even if it's just slightly redesigned or better. The original owner I'm also guessing has a couple more cars & probably a full time driver. Partly goes to explain the low mileage on this particular vehicle. The $50,000 off after 1 year's use with low mileage may seem huge or wasteful but to multi-millionaire / billionaire types it's actually a small incentive - for them like $5 off - for getting it off their hands for the next, latest greatest which may or may not be another Bentley by the way.
Thanks for this video Tyler... Another year or two and it'll be within my price bracket. ✌🏽😀 I love ridiculously expensive depreciated cars. They NEVER break with me. 😍😍😍
When Hoovie adjusted the seat at 11:08 I went "ahhhhhh" myself. You could see him melt into the seat and it looks more comfortable than a high-end recliner.
Here's a fun fact. Extremely wealthy people do NOT buy cars like this. They Lease them. No financial adviser would ever allow a client to throw away their money on something that depreciates like a so-called luxury vehicle. When you incorporate, your leased vehicle is (tax-deductible). Also, what Hoovie is leaving out is that the Auto Industry (especially the used car market) is in a (Bubble). Once microprocessor manufacturing returns to normal levels, new car sales will level out. And the inflated prices on used cars will fall like a rock. It will be a race to the bottom.
they made a refresh so quick just 3 years... the "old" one devalued... its still modern though and what a great car... the speed model is definately the one to get! what a dream car!
