Overall Rating
The Bentley Bentayga has a persona of itself that is well distinguished from its rival’s, Rolls Royce. Its royal persona was enhanced after its acquisition by the German Giant, the Volkswagen group. Bentley has taken its offering to the next level by introducing SUVs, the Bentayga is the first ever SUV from the luxury car manufacturer.Add in some all-terrain abilities and German engineering and it's difficult to find fault with the Bentayga.
The brand synonymous with luxury and flamboyance, Bentley, has boldly stepped into a new segment of cars. For the very first time Bentley will be rolling out a SUV, an exclusive flamboyant one. Moreover, Bentley has come up with a premium V8 4 litre engine SUV that delivers enormous power and torque. Precisely to mention, it turns out 542 HP and 568 pound feet of torque. Bentley also claims to have packed some off roading trades into this new breed of luxury and panache.
Priced at $170,000 approximately, the Bentley offers equivalent performance and luxury. In this segment of luxury performance SUVs the 2019 Bentley Bentayga faces rivals such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Lamborghini Urus. It goes without saying that the Rolls-Royce is the heaviest in terms of its price and the Italian performance vehicle Lamborghini Urus is pragmatic about its unparalleled performance. The Bentley Bentayga is a blend of both performance and luxury, setting a fine balance.
Given the three variants of the Bentley Bentayga 2019 model year, we would recommend you to go in for the V8 as it is the most economical luxury offering for this model. Priced at about half the asking price of the high end, Mulliner, the features you would find on the base trim are no less luxurious. Unless you are looking for the best of the best Uber premium luxury or you do have $300,000 at your disposal, we wouldn't suggest the Bentley Bentayga Mulliner. There is a specific cluster of the audience that appreciates a fine blend of luxury along with performance and this is delivered to you in the W12 trim, however it will set you back by $230,000.

In a surprising turn of events, a 4.0 litre V8 engine proves to outperform Rolls Royce's 6 litre V12, that too by a large margin. The former belongs to Lamborghini Urus, it churns out 641 hp and 626 lb ft of torque. At the lower ranks of the performance chart we find the Bentley Bentayga that delivers just 542 hp and 568 lb ft of torque with its 4 litre V8 engine.
Considering all the vehicles to be extremely luxurious and expensive, one would obviously expect a certain extent of performance to be offered. These machines aren't just luxury suites on the inside but are also high performance vehicles that have some serious speed to offer.
Facing Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini in competition puts the Bentley Bentayga in a difficult position in terms of acceleration. However, we will know more details only when we go through the numbers on the chart, as given below.

It is no surprise to find Lamborghini urus swiftly reaching the 60 mph mark in just about 3.5 seconds. Despite a lower capacity engine the Bentley Bentayga outperforms the Rolls-Royce Cullinan by a significant margin and grabs the second place clocking the 60 miles per hour mark in 4.4 seconds. In spite of the heaviest engine capacities harboured under its bonnet, the 6.8 litre premium V12 engine of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan takes 4.8 seconds to reach the 60 mph mark.
The Bentley Bentayga is as light as a feather on the straight roads of tarmac. The responsive steering wheel glides the car to wherever you point it. It feels so light and easy to handle that you might forget that it is a SUV; so precise, comfortable, and posh is its ride quality alongside its accurate steering.
Fitted with anActive Air Suspension that returns comfort like driving in the air; although driven over hard bumps and you'd not feel the airy feeling at all. The Bentley Bentayga can also be taken for a little spin off road and you will be surprised to find it performing outstandingly. After all, this SUV doesn't just speak of luxury it also has a monstrous performance to flaunt.
Yet another extremely important segment that must be considered regardless of the luxury offered inside is that of the braking system. Given that all three vehicles in consideration are extremely heavy in weight, their braking units need to be even more capable.
The Bentley Bentayga comes equipped with a set of 15.8 inch rotors for the front set of wheels and a set of 15 inch rotors for the rear set of wheels. We do not have data around the distance it takes to come to a standstill from the 60 mph mark but we do believe it performs well when we put together its curb weight and brake sizes.

In terms of curb weight, the Bentley Bentayga ranks between the Rolls-Royce Cullinan on the heavy end and Lamborghini Urus on the lighter end. Equipped with decent sized rotors the Bentley Bentayga puts up a decent performance in terms of Braking. However, the best performance in class is put up by the Italian engineering marvel, Lamborghini Urus.
We are talking luxury here and anyone who goes in for these vehicles is least bothered about its mileage.However in terms of competition it is the Bentley Bentayga that probably offers the best in its segment. Considering that the Lamborghini Urus is extremely focused on performance, it will lag fuel efficiency. The Bentley Bentayga puts out as much as 23 miles to a gallon on highways 14 in the city and 17 miles as its combined average.

The Rolls Royce Cillian ranks at second position with a small margin over the Lamborghini Urus. Even in terms of range the Bentley Bentayga offers the most in class.
Behold, flamboyance and panache at its best. The interiors of all the vehicles in consideration flaunt extreme luxury in every aspect and every sense.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan proves to be the heaviest vehicle of the lot. At the same time it is also the highest and longest vehicle with the longest wheelbase. Bentley Bentayga seems to offer the best in class ground clearance with a decent wheelbase and curb weight to offer. On the other hand, Lamborghini Urus is the widest vehicle in the segment with a wheelbase that is at par with the offering of the Bentley.
As a part of the interior package the 2019 Bentley Bentayga has some wonderful safety features. Blended into the luxury offering of this vehicle are some technologically advanced safety features. We have mentioned a few of the safety features that come as part of the standard offering:
Up against its stark rival, the Rolls Royce Cullian gives the Bentayga a tough time on several fronts. However, in overall performance and value, the Bentley proves to be a better purchase option. The Royce is simply overpriced, with an asking price of around $300,000. On the other hand the Bentley aka only for $165,000.
In comparison with the Lamborghini Urus, the Bentley Bentayga is more of luxury and comfort, while the Italian rival is serious about it's unparalleled performance.
With immense speed and thrill up it's sleeve, the Lamborghini Urus out performs the Elegant Bentley Bentayga. In terms of value for money, the Lamborghini delivers so much more when compared to the Bentley that focuses only on comfort and flamboyance.
Yes, being a fine blend of performance and luxury the Bentley Bentayga makes a perfect purchase option in the luxury segment.
