Overall Rating
The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur competes with the likes of the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Mercedes-Maybach S Class, some of the most opulent wheels in its class. The newer model will be adding many features as well as an option four-seater configuration in order to lure more wealthy customers in its way. Here’s our take on the 2022 Bentley Flying Spur that is soon going to be on sale in the US Market.
The soon-to-be-launched 2022 Bentley Flying Spur would definitely see a lot more changes, compared to its last facelift back in 2020. The Bentley will still see some cool new optional features like the Chief option that offers a 4-seat configuration with a couple of bucket seats at the back and a fixed center console. Also, on offer on the Flying Spur's interior will be an array of options like wood trim, carbon-fiber trim, or a machined metal finish.
The 2021 Bentley Flying Spur W12 is offered as a standalone variant and we expect the same this year too. Bentley also sells a more fuel-efficient Flying Spur V8 as well. The 2021 Flying Spur is currently on sale comes with a price starting from $216,700 and we expect the 2022 model to start from around the $220k mark. The prices exclude a destination charge of $2,275 which Bentley levies on its cars. The Bentley Flying Spur rivals the likes of the Ghost from Rolls-Royce and the S-Class Maybach from Mercedes.
Since the 2022 Bentley Flying Spur is not available in a variety of trim levels, it would be available in a single well-stacked trim with a host of optional features to further enhance your ride. However, there will be three powertrain options available for the 2022 MY. Having the factory version as it is is recommended, since it comes with all of the quintessential features, including some of the most advanced safety technology on the market.

The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur will be offered with either a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 or a 6.0-liter turbocharged W12 engine or a hybrid powertrain in 2022. As part of Bentley's vision for the future, the 2022 Flying Spur will be available for the first time as a plug-in hybrid. More information on the Hybrid Flying Spur, however, will follow in a separate article.
There is little difference between the three models in terms of features and options, thus it is just the engine that differs. A seemingly endless amount of customization options will be available for all models, as we’d expect from a brand like Bentley. Expect the same price as its predecessor, with an MSRP of $200,000.

"It's no sport sedan, but going around turns doesn't feel like you're navigating a container ship through the Suez Canal either." - Edmunds
The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur is the pinnacle of luxury and performance, with two powerful gasoline engines. The first is a 4.0-liter V8 engine capable of churning out 542 horsepower and 568 pounds of torque assisted by a turbocharger. The second engine is a 6.0-liter W12 that can generate a massive 626 horsepower and 664 pounds of torque. All-wheel drive is standard on both engines, which are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The power-uprated V8 engine will propel the flying spur to a top speed of 198 mph and deliver 0-60 mph sprinting ability in just 3.5 seconds. A special set of Brembo racing brakes control the 2022 Flying Spur's huge chassis quite effectively. As well as the braking system, it's also equipped with advanced systems like ABS and stability control. Even with its heavyweight, the Flying Spur is relatively maneuverable. With its standard adaptive suspension and rear-wheel steering, the Flying Spur handles corners very well.

The Flying Spur gets rebadged Brembo racing spec brakes as part of its standard equipment. To help control all this power, an advanced level ABS with stability control is on offer that helps provide a confident driving experience. The Flying Spur handles surprisingly well considering its heft. Diving around corners is a treat in the Flying Spur thanks to a standard adaptive suspension and rear-wheel-steering system.
The last iteration of Flying Spur has a more refined engine and streamlined aerodynamics and it achieved an increase of 5% in fuel economy. We expect the same with the 2022MY. While the EPA rating for the 2022 Bentley Flying Spur has not yet been released, we would like to talk about it with respect to the 2021 model.
In the city, the Bentley Flying Spur achieves 12 mpg, while on the freeway it achieves 19 mpg and on the combined highway, it achieves 15 mpg. By virtue of the powerful engine, Bentley's low fuel economy figures are justified. In mixed driving conditions, the Bentley Flying Spur is able to travel 336 miles with a fuel capacity of 24 gallons, which is impressive.

Most of the rivals in this segment are more or less in the same ballpark in terms of fuel economy. Although the Mercedes-Maybach S580 comes out to be slightly more efficient that's because it gets a smaller 8-cylinder engine. The Rolls-Royce Ghost's mpg figures aren't any better either.
"Bentley's interior designers managed to preserve the brand's prim and proper styling while incorporating modern tech features." - Car and Driver
The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur can be considered to be a top choice among luxury sedans in the current market. There are many reasons for this, but one of them is definitely its excellently designed interiors. This model comes with leather seats right out of the box, which is soft to the touch, yet sturdily constructed. Controls are conveniently placed for easy access when driving.
Front seats with a 24-way power adjustment allow the driver to adjust them according to his needs, enhancing the ride quality. Five passengers can travel in comfort in the Bentley Flying Spur thanks to its ample headroom, legroom, and 14-way power-adjustable rear seats. It has a climate control system with four zones that intelligently regulate the cabin temperature.
You can enhance your Bentley with extra convenience features, including a double-stitched quilted leather interior, ventilated seats with perforations on the backrests, and exquisite wood trim throughout.

On the eye-catching rotating 12.3-inch touchscreen, we are greeted by the captivating graphics that make the dashboard look geeky as soon as we step inside. Bentley's premium interior is further enhanced by its futuristic infotainment system. Located in the center of the dashboard is the attractive infotainment unit, which has a 12.3-inch touchscreen.
The impressive rotating display of the Bentley sports three analog dial-like dials that are mounted on the opposite side of the touchscreen. On the rear seats, you'll find a touchscreen that allows for browsing the web, watching videos, and controlling settings. There is a default setup of 11 channels and 10 speakers, but you can upgrade to a 16- or 19-speaker B&O setup or a Naim system.
"Other drivers either chase you to get a better look, or they sensibly get out of your way altogether." - Slashgear
As the full-size flagship of the Bentley lineup, the Flying Spur is one heck of a luxurious and opulent sedan that makes even the most stringent Bentley enthusiast proud. It all starts with a breathtaking exterior design that channels the famous Continental GT in looks and nouveau grand touring in character but moves in yet another evolutionary direction with its spacious and exceptionally well laid-out cabin.
The new 2022 Flying Spur's design reflects Bentley's luxury and elegance with a sleek shape, long grille, and sculpted detailing. This large car has a longer wheelbase, meaning the side windows are set further back to reveal a more promising shape. The most conspicuous change occurs at the rear, where a concave tailgate gives the Flying Spur its defining feature. Beautifully refined details are evident throughout the car, from the precise surfacing and contouring of the body panels to the hand-finished leatherwork.

The Bentley Flying Spur's dimensions formulate a fine balance between performance and luxury. The shorter wheelbase with the rear-wheel steering lends the Spur its agility around corners. Though the Flying Spur's curb weight is in no way on the lighter side, it does not hinder the sedan's agility and rather provides better on-road stability. Highlights of the 2022 Bentley Flying Spur exterior include:
Super performance and best-in-class safety come standard with the all-new Flying Spur. Unlike any other vehicle on the road now, the 2022 Bentley Flying Spur has a unique design and innovative ways of backing up safety. It is known that luxury cars will not undergo crash testing, so the 2022 Bentley Flying Spur will be no exception.
The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur is a performance luxury sedan with an aluminum chassis to ensure strength and durability, and weight reduction at the same time. ABS, EBD, rear-wheel steering, active dampers, etc. present in the sedan ensure that the occupants are kept safe in a collision, but the list of driver assistance features is rather limited, with only cruise control and lane-keeping assistance of note.
Other standard safety features include:
A sleek and victorious sports car with a powerful engine will surely satisfy an adrenaline junkie personality. But if you have a classy side, then the best choice would be a luxury sedan that combines comfort with style to add an elegant touch. And two such stupendously luxury sedans are the 2022 Bentley Flying Spur and the 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost. The Rolls-Royce Ghost and the Bentley Flying Spur both offer a luxurious, comfortable, and stylish drive, and both cost about the same amount.
Once again, the Maybach S-Class is one of the most sophisticated and luxurious sedans ever produced. In terms of value for money, the Mercedes-Maybach S580 outperforms the Bentley as well as matching the craftsmanship. Over-engineering is a hallmark of all German cars, which also adds a sporty characteristic and an impeccable interior. While the Bentley offers everything the Maybach can offer, it also looks different and has a different style appeal.
The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur is a luxurious car that offers top-quality comfort, smooth handling, and excellent performance. It's also an incredibly stylish, upmarket executive saloon with enormous presence on the road. It might be pricey, but you can't fault its ridiculous performance stats. If you're looking for an engaging everyday GT, look elsewhere. If money is no object and your tastes are more extrovert, then this is one seriously desirable motor that's sure to turn heads whether you're at home or away.
