Bentayga is just so unbelievably ugly though.

I have just spent 6 days in rural blighty with a V8 diesel Bentayga including 2 long distance trips from and to LHR. Engine is remarkably refined, has no sensory presence in the vehicle. Torque is smooth and feels unlimited. Steering wheel is sublime compared to the poor effort on the RRS. Cabin is a mix of unnecessary bling and decent materials.

It is, in the simple tactile areas that it thrashes the RR and RRS. Dash, stalks and door bins are lovely, trim is something JLR would be hard pushed to dream about and would not be able to create with their current cheap materials.

But the pale carpets and ivory interior require extra precious care, not practical in damp, muddy UK winters.

Bentley air suspension, in my opinion is not as good as LR air ride. It can feel jiggly and made me feel mildly nauseous. Would I pay the premium over an RR or RRS, no, but the SVR is much more aggressive than a Bentayga so maybe a V8 diesel 405 is a better comparison.

Worth the premium, err, no, not really. I thought it was ugly every time I looked at it. I would stick with JLR L405, have some change and that's quite a recommendation as I am well out of love with JLR these days.

Actualy saw one of these for the first time the other day, and never want to see another the ugliest Censored car I've ever seen, made worse by being a s**t brown colour.
