Name: Bentley
Brand: Bentley
SKU: Bentley

Bentley’s high-performance ultra-luxury cars and SUVs sell in relatively small numbers for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Consumer Reports does not purchase or include Bentleys for our test program, however, we occasionally rent examples for road tests. Throughout much of the 20th century, Bentley was a sibling brand to Rolls-Royce, and the two brands produced similar cars with minor distinguishing characteristics. Bentley’s sale to Volkswagen Group in 1998 changed the brand’s course. The last unique, hand-built Bentley was the Mulsanne, which was discontinued in 2020. Modern Bentleys, including the Bentayga SUV, Continental coupe and convertible, and Flying Spur sedan share some parts, engine designs, and technology with Audi. However, nearly all Bentleys are built in the UK and have specialty parts that can be expensive to replace. Some Bentley engines are still largely hand-built, as well. Interior trims have more in common with high-end furniture than other cars.
