Bentley Bentayga
1st Generation
2016–2026 · suv
Bentley's first-ever SUV, on the VW Group MLB Evo platform shared with Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, and Audi Q7/Q8. Initial 6.0L W12 (600 hp); 4.0L V8 added 2018; plug-in hybrid V6 from 2018; diesel offered briefly. Facelifted in 2020 with the EWB long-wheelbase variant following. Air suspension, three rows optional, full Bentley interior treatment.
Watch out: Air-suspension failures (compressor and bags) are common past 60k miles — shared issue across the MLB Evo platform. W12 cars share the cost-of-service profile of the Continental GT W12. PHEV variants add high-voltage battery service to the long-term ownership picture. Brake rotor and tire wear are heavy on a 5,000+ lb vehicle.

Bentley Flying Spur
Modern Flying Spur (2005+)
2005–2026 · sedan
Bentley's modern luxury sedan, derived from the Continental GT architecture across three modern generations: 1st gen (2005-2013, VW D1 platform, 6.0L W12); 2nd gen (2013-2019, refreshed D1); 3rd gen (2019-present, VW MSB platform shared with Panamera, W12 + V8 + PHEV options). 'Flying Spur' name revives the Bentley S2/S3 Continental Flying Spur (1959-1965).
Watch out: First two generations share the air-suspension and W12 cost-of-service profile of the contemporary Continental GT — neither is cheap to keep on the road. Third-generation MSB cars share their bones (and many service items) with the Porsche Panamera, which has improved parts availability vs. the older D1 cars. W12 long-term parts availability is the emerging concern as the engine sunsets.
