Bentley Continental (2018-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| A huge advance over its predecessor | Such class and quality come at a price |
| Amazing blend of agility and continent-crossing comfort | Extremely high running costs |
| Opulent interior is truly luxurious | A Ferrari 812 Superfast is more exciting to drive |
Quick Summary
The Bentley Continental GT (2018-present) marks a significant evolution, moving from a Volkswagen-shared platform to one more closely related to Porsche, greatly enhancing its dynamism. This current generation, introduced in 2018, is inherently better balanced and more agile due to the engine's repositioning and advanced chassis technologies. It also offers surprising practicality for a grand tourer, with a 358-litre boot and decent space for medium-sized adults in the rear seats, outperforming many competitors.
Power comes from twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 or 6.0-litre W12 engines, delivering immense performance with the W12 reaching 207mph. The interior is a benchmark of opulence, featuring a 12.3-inch infotainment system and exquisite handcrafted details. While running costs are exceptionally high due to low real-world MPG, expensive tyres, and costly servicing, the Continental GT is an unparalleled blend of luxury and sports car agility, making it arguably the most rounded grand tourer on sale.
Best for: Buyers seeking the most rounded grand tourer, those prioritising an amazing blend of agility and continent-crossing comfort, or individuals who appreciate an opulent and luxurious interior.
Not ideal for: Buyers on a budget, those concerned about extremely high running costs (fuel, tyres, servicing, VED), or those who prefer the absolute sharpest handling (like a Ferrari 812 Superfast).

The Verdict
You should buy the Continental if: You're looking for the most rounded grand tourer, seeking an amazing blend of agility and continent-crossing comfort, or appreciate an opulent and luxurious interior.
Consider alternatives if: You are on a budget, concerned about extremely high running costs, or prefer the absolute sharpest handling.
Competitive Position: The Bentley Continental GT (2018-present) stands as the most rounded grand tourer available, expertly blending sports car dynamism with limousine-like luxury. While some rivals like the Aston Martin DB11 or Ferrari 812 Superfast might offer sharper handling, and the Rolls-Royce Wraith greater luxury, the Bentley strikes an unparalleled balance. Its high list price and substantial running costs mean it's an investment, but it delivers an exceptionally executed automotive experience for those prepared for the commitment.

What people say
The car not only looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, performs beautifully and much of it is built by hand. Its just BEAUTIFUL!
The Bentley Continental is one of the best second hand buys, they are so cheap now. If you buy one just make sure it has a good recent history. Minimum of the last 3 years. The only car that compares is the BMW M5.
The 2015 Bentley continental is unmatched. So much of the car is hand built. The leather upholstery is hand stitched by 120 skilled women in the factory, the woodwork is similarly cut, shaped and finished by hand. The car weighs in excess of 1.75 tonnes yet can top 200mph!
It’s a superb car with great handling characteristics. Negative side was the very clunky and basic navigation system. Mine was very reliable , it was always serviced by the manufacturer with whom I had no complaints. I deeply regret selling mine.
If you want the ultimate G.T. car look no further than the Bentley Continental with a range of 2 engines the 4lt V8 which suits the car well. If for the most of the time your stuck in city driving or your cruising on a motorway its a brilliant balanced car. But if you want the extra power and can understand how brilliantly engineered the 6lt W12 engine is then this is the power plant you want in your car. If your going to cruise Europe this will cruise all the motorways including the autobahn,s if Germany brilliantly. Also the safety features on this car are amazing. Traffic warning if your in a blind spot alarms, collision avoidance. The reversing camera but Bentley took it further by giving 360 warning making parallel parking easy. The ability to view the satnav in the instrument cluster as well as the main screen. The night vision to make driving on unlit roads safer. There are so many please read all the information on these cars and if you dont understand anything ask the sales person. They are so helpful. As for the seats and Interior the quality of craftsmanship is incredible. The air suspension that adjusts its self and will even raise the car to avoid an obstacle in the road. These qualities are not found on other cars some come close. But if you want comfort and quality. Also to feel a car that helps you avoid collisions then you wont find a better car than the BENTLEY CONTINENTAL.
