Agreed. I’ve sat in a Bentley and it didn’t seem too much nicer than my bmw. End of the day these cars are all comfortable to be in , just depends of preference on which one you take home.
Well done Tyler! This was the most entertaining review of Bentayga I've seen. You're sensory description of the vehicle explains the heavy lust factor for buyers. Just wait 3-5 more years when all the complexity goes 4-wheels to the sky!
I agree Robert. Doug is informative and so good to see the details but I agree this was the most entertaining.. I loved watching Harry Metcalf drive and review it as well
Having owned a few Bentleys, I can confirm that the look on Hoovies face when he floors it is genuine. Same thing happened to me when I first drove my Continental GT. Bentley engines are ridiculously powerful.
Continental GT never had a Bentley engine, only VW engines. Arnage, Azure, Brooklands, and Mulsanne had the Rolls-Royce-Bentley L-series V8 engine which was built in Crewe, England.
Imagine dropping a quarter million on a vehicle you put 4k miles on in 2 years, your rear hatch makes that noise, then sell it. I could see only 4k miles on a track car, or a convertible that you only drive in perfect weather for short segments of the year. But an SUV, that you maybe got into once a month? That's the difference between rich and wealthy.
That’s because they got multiple cars for every occasion. Wealthy people usually keep their luxury suv or coupe for private use which they rarely drive since majority times they ride in the back seat of their luxury sedan their private drivers.
@@emilmammadli2206 Like I said, the difference between rich and wealthy. A quarter million dropped on something you might use once a month, and you shrugged off 6 figure depreciation like it was nothing. Because it is nothing.
Its not practical to drive these types of cars on a daily basis. Low MPGs and people look at you everywhere you go. Sometimes you just want to go to the bank or grocery shopping in peace. It’s an special occasion vehicle for sure.
9:47 “listen to that chime” . . . I do every morning, in my 2018 Audi Q5, which stickered for 50K. The turn signal and wiper stalks are also out of the Audi parts bin. There’s your depreciation.
Came here to find this comment or post it myself if I couldn’t find it. My 2015 a8l made the same chimes, as did my wife’s older q7, as well as her current SQ5. I wonder why VAG didn’t think consumers would notice the same little details in their top shelf and mid range products?? Seems short sighted on their part. Bentleys should not make same noises as Audis
I definitely think it's a vehicle for FU amounts of money. Like you buy it because you can afford the depreciation and upkeep, while enjoying the luxuriousness of it. It's not really for people that want to enjoy it for a bit, but also need to be able to sell it and get a chunk of their money back. I just wish it had disappearing infotainment, like the cars.
First time I ever saw one of these was at a super posh garden market in the cotswolds of England, it was gold and had chrosme everything glistening as it pulled up. It was glorious and epicly luxurious looking
I miss the days when luxury car makers catered to their customers' superiority complex by making them *feel* more important with the latest and greatest safety features and cutting-edge engineering. Now it's about how much crap they can cram into a car. I remember pulling up next to a '93 Mercedes with my '87 Corolla thinking, 'If we both got t-boned right now, he'd walk away and I'd be sent home in Classico pasta sauce jar only because the paramedics would spring for the larger jar with the $5 in my pocket.'
Their goal is mass production and profits, not exclusivity. The discontinued Mulsanne is the last real Bentley. Rolls Royce did it right by redeveloping the Phantom. Keeps the brand exclusivity there so you have a reason to buy a Ghost.
But then nowadays, if I'm on my '12 Corolla and I pull up against an '18 Mercedes and we were both T-boned, I do believe he'd be better off but we'd both be relatively fine.
You mean back in the day when they were the first ones to have 3 point seat belts? No that was Volvo, though technically they allowed everyone to have it. Maybe the first cars to have airbags? No that was Oldsmobile to have the first passenger airbag in 1973, with driver's side in 1975 and 1976. ABS braking? Nope...Chrysler did it in 1971. I suppose the crap you're talking about is all of the electronics that are used for both managing the vehicle's entertainment system as well as the sensors and environmental controls (to keep you comfy) in addition to things like the radar controlled cruise and other things to help make a long trip easier on the occupants. Don't change my luxury car, dammit!
5:00 One of those "cannot be unseen" things about the Range Rover Sport is how high the dash is mounted inside, which meant they had to black out a big portion of the lower part of the windshield. I always notice that every time I see one of these things. lol Apparently its cost savings. They wanted to reuse the normal big Range Rover dash, but in the smaller Sport body, so the dash board doesn't actually fit quite right, so they blank out that portion of the windshield to try and hide it.
That’s actually not the reason at all, if you look at the interior of the big one the dash is completely different from the sport. Not sure why it’s like that but it creates a good driving position either way lol
I love how he acts like he couldn’t just go buy one tomorrow if he wanted. $150k isn’t that much compared to the rest of his cars if he really wanted one get could have one lol.
I've been pretty blown away by how many of these I see driving around in my area. Considering what they cost I figured they'd be a lot more rare, but apparently people have more money than they know what to do with around here.
I noticed this the other day in the UK, you can pick up a used Bentayga with between 30-50k miles for about 85-90k, crazy prices. Still better than a lot of new cars, and was the fastest in the world when it was released. Only slower by 1mph over the Urus.
Can't afford a Corolla here interest rates are high very unreasonable cars don't depreciate in our Currency a base variant corolla 1.6 Automatic with limited features like Power steering Power mirrors non retractable mirrors AC ABS Steel wheels with wheel caps Cost 10393.75 USD
The Bentley Bentayga is a super nice car. It has all the right stuff. It has the ride. It has the comfort. It has all the premium stuff. But it’s name and look overall are just so forgettable. It just does not have the “presence” it needs for this level of car. It’s missing the “special” thing that makes people want it.
Literally every single SUV manufacturer has mastered an automatic closing tailgate that is simple, and reliable, leave it to Bentley to make it extremely complex, expensive, loud, and unreliable.
I think the reasoning why the Bentayga is depreciating, while its competitor are not (Although I would argue that the Range Rover is soon to depreciate very soon a lot) it’s because they already had a new facelift. In addition, I think the other reason behind it is because the Bentayga has a cheaper version, which in my opinion is even better than the standard one, which is the Plug-In Hybrid Bentayga. The Plug-In Hybrid starts at $166,425. In my opinion, compared to the competitor, is a bargain and better priced than the competition, with the only exception of the GLS Maybach. However, the Maybach is way over MSRP and in my opinion overpriced, just like G-Wagons. Knowing Mercedes-Benz product history, it won't be for long to see them crashing down in value soon. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, although my favorite, is the safest one to purchase as the depreciation is going to be extremely slow or non-existent given the fact that Rolls-Royce is just like Jeep and Porsche. Barely any changes in their car and design. There’s almost no difference between a Rolls from 2010 to a brand new one for most people and even for us car enthusiasts. The Urus is the same case like the Cullinan . And also in my own opinion as someone who’s very familiar with this types of cars, I would definitely buy the new Bentley Bentayga Hybrid over everything else due to one thing that many people don’t find out until they own one. I don’t mind the fuel economy being bad (like in a Super car) because it won’t be my daily. However, in this type of car/SUV, everybody will be looking at you all the time and sometimes it compromises your own security. Being a plug-in hybrid means that I have to stop less frequently at a fucking gas station for everybody to look at me or having the possibility to be rob gun pointed. This is something that the Bentley has an edge over the Maybach and Cullinan, in which provides this level of comfort both in real life and in my mind. In my country, Puerto Rico, is even a bigger bargain and a big deal due to the fact that we pay tariff and lot of it. A Cullinan would easy be at the $500k and above here maybe. The Normal Bentayga would be at $300k. However, because plug-in hybrid and electric cars are exempted from paying taxes and tariff. This Bentley is more cheaper than a normal GLS or normal Range Rover. Cheaper and better fuel economy, and for a car brand that has so many heritage and name, its a bargain for that level of luxury and a no brainer.
You forgot to mention the fact that they leased significantly more Bentayga models then they do with Mulsanne, or SUVs like the Cullinan, Maybach GLS. The influx of lease returns will always drive the value down. The better the lease deal the more cars will be made. The Continental and Flying Spur depreciate much quicker than the Mulsanne due to the fact the production is like 4x as much. The depreciation curve is similar to Range Rover. You only see that their “worth more” because the car originally cost more. Range Rovers lose about 50% value over 4 years($120k new, used market $65-70k which means your trade in is $55k ish). Bentayga $280k new, now 3-4 years later are $140k. Same depreciation. The high end Range Rover SVR/Autobiographies are not sold in the same numbers as the standard Range Rovers, thus will hold their value better.
@@bmwmsport11 TONS of them are leased and returned. I would venture to say 60-70% are leased, which definitely helps for second-hand ownership. The majority will have been serviced well and not driven hard at all.
The instruments and controls are familiar to any Golf/Passat owner. A beautiful car, but seems to be more of a British flavored trim level of VolksWagon than a truly unique product.
You sure all those repeated clicks at the end are normal? I had a Continental GT and the motor to close the lid would whir and then the latch would grab it and click once to lock.
I love when the leather headliner stretches over time and hangs! Driving back to Bentley to fix it over and over again is better than driving it where I actually wanna go
I know a guy with a Urus who was offered $30k over what he paid to trade it in a year after he purchased it. And that's from an actual Lambo dealership. Crazy!
A super nice 2500 sqft building two doors down from my business in a nice part of the OKC Metro just sold for around that same price as that Bentley sold for new. That's nuts.
Man that W12 with turbos is something else. You can see the whole front end jump up on acceleration like its ready to take off into the sky. At its used price that's got to be one of the top sporty cars.
I can’t speak for the market but I would not want to work on that w12. Your car trek cl65 was a perfect example of how annoying maintenance can be on a big engine crammed into a small space. I’d imagine most of the parts are only shared with continentals and maybe the vw phaeton which can’t be cheap
Because it isn't nearly ugly enough? I was passed about an hour and a half ago by someone driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. That is an awful looking mess.
7:45 the puddle lights are modified for that Centenary Edition package, with the gold ring around the “B”. I’ve never seen multi-colored puddle lights before, they’re just white lights typically. Nice touch.
Ok, here's a take: I'm guessing the reason for that particular car's depreciation is that it - performance Bentley's in particular & brand at large - are basically a 'rich man's / Boy'z toys' (not disparaging them or gender stuff here by the way). To break that down to what it means Bentley's have a heritage as luxe drivers cars - rather than Rolls which are often seen as more sedate, with models like the Phantom usually (but not always) for being chauffeured around in, also for cost reasons more often driven by older folk, not 'facelifted' as often and therefore keep relative value & kept for longer in comparison. What that also means is that when the new-er or 'refreshed' Bentley comes out, the 'old' model, regardless of how relatively recent its purchase or good it already is mostly gets replaced for the current model even if it's just slightly redesigned or better. The original owner I'm also guessing has a couple more cars & probably a full time driver. Partly goes to explain the low mileage on this particular vehicle. The $50,000 off after 1 year's use with low mileage may seem huge or wasteful but to multi-millionaire / billionaire types it's actually a small incentive - for them like $5 off - for getting it off their hands for the next, latest greatest which may or may not be another Bentley by the way.
I have to say, this video has being one of the most enjoyable and fun videos in a while! You do great content, I have seen them all week by week, but this one was just GREAT! Keep it up!!
Real reason why the Bentayga depreciates so rapidly: When I first saw it I thought "So this is what it would look like if Bentley built their own version of the Subaru Outback!"
When Hoovie adjusted the seat at 11:08 I went "ahhhhhh" myself. You could see him melt into the seat and it looks more comfortable than a high-end recliner.
Possibly, but the SQ7 is a much better looking more practical SUV(3 rows, 7 seats vs tiny RSQ8). We just rolled over 22k miles on our 2021 model, used it recently to tow back my "Daily" 2000 Trans Am 6MT. Gapped some bikes towing an auto transport trailer up the mountain on the way to pick up a car in TN. XD
Here's a fun fact. Extremely wealthy people do NOT buy cars like this. They Lease them. No financial adviser would ever allow a client to throw away their money on something that depreciates like a so-called luxury vehicle. When you incorporate, your leased vehicle is (tax-deductible). Also, what Hoovie is leaving out is that the Auto Industry (especially the used car market) is in a (Bubble). Once microprocessor manufacturing returns to normal levels, new car sales will level out. And the inflated prices on used cars will fall like a rock. It will be a race to the bottom.
they made a refresh so quick just 3 years... the "old" one devalued... its still modern though and what a great car... the speed model is definately the one to get! what a dream car!
Thanks for this video Tyler... Another year or two and it'll be within my price bracket. ✌🏽😀 I love ridiculously expensive depreciated cars. They NEVER break with me. 😍😍😍
new or old its a rich persons car , secondhand repairs are extremely expensive, if you buy one it should be done without even battering an eyelash, and when its time for it to go you are just buying the next most expensive model of whatever, and while its under waranty its not your problem its the dealers but you know this, i wonder how reliable these are i bet they are pretty good, i like it very much , you should buy one hoovie it suits you.
"British cars doing British things" - it's a German car Hoovie, it's a LHD model, so it's even assembled in Germany, only the RHD models are assembled in the UK. I suspect the VW W12 engine is part of the reason these things depreciate so hard - it's a shit engine, excessively complicated with multiple failure points. They rarely make it to 100,000km without massively expensive issues - and then as you say it's going to be very difficult getting support. You'd think they'd have something worked out with other VAG dealers to provide service.
What... all Bentley Bentayga's are finished in Crewe. They were a few Flying spurs built at Dresden for the German Market to keep the factory open until it moved to electrification but all Bentleys now come down the lines at Crewe.
If it was a sedan, I would really love it. As an SUV, I really dislike the overall look, but I really don't like to look at, or drive, SUVs. A nice spec Continental GT would be my absolute ideal daily driver.
Yep. Same thing happened with Doug. Even if they made their name with affordable or weird cars, every car TH-camr that's successful starts going for boring spots, luxury, and exotic cars. It gets really samey.
I think we should expect to see more of Tyler reviewing new cars and less of buying old junk and wasting money on them, maybe that is part of the reason he sold off most of his collection, I'm totally fine with both or either, it's free entertainment.
For a moment there I thought Hoovie had added narration over the video given the complete lack of noise in that cabin, not just engine, no wind, road or HVAC. Damn that thing is quiet.

yeah, its definately his dads
Yep.
Well done Tyler! This was the most entertaining review of Bentayga I've seen. You're sensory description of the vehicle explains the heavy lust factor for buyers. Just wait 3-5 more years when all the complexity goes 4-wheels to the sky!
Unfortunately he was found dead
Watch Doug Demuro's review
I agree Robert. Doug is informative and so good to see the details but I agree this was the most entertaining.. I loved watching Harry Metcalf drive and review it as well
Having owned a few Bentleys, I can confirm that the look on Hoovies face when he floors it is genuine. Same thing happened to me when I first drove my Continental GT.
Bentley engines are ridiculously powerful.
No one cares.
Continental GT never had a Bentley engine, only VW engines. Arnage, Azure, Brooklands, and Mulsanne had the Rolls-Royce-Bentley L-series V8 engine which was built in Crewe, England.
The hatch alone sounds horrible between the motors and locks. A Hyundai or ford makes less noise when it shuts
Imagine having so much money you can afford to throw away $110,000 every year just on depreciation.
Disgusting ain’t it.
That's why most lottery winners buy Bentleys and don't stay rich for long.
They reliable too. That’s sad.
Tax write off. But don't imagine. Go and make that happen
@@mupetier I didn’t say that out of jealousy. Believe me. While I can appreciate cars like this, owning one is not a goal of mine.
Imagine dropping a quarter million on a vehicle you put 4k miles on in 2 years, your rear hatch makes that noise, then sell it. I could see only 4k miles on a track car, or a convertible that you only drive in perfect weather for short segments of the year. But an SUV, that you maybe got into once a month?
That's the difference between rich and wealthy.
To busy with flying in the private jet probably😂
That’s because they got multiple cars for every occasion. Wealthy people usually keep their luxury suv or coupe for private use which they rarely drive since majority times they ride in the back seat of their luxury sedan their private drivers.
@@emilmammadli2206 Like I said, the difference between rich and wealthy. A quarter million dropped on something you might use once a month, and you shrugged off 6 figure depreciation like it was nothing.
Because it is nothing.
Its not practical to drive these types of cars on a daily basis. Low MPGs and people look at you everywhere you go. Sometimes you just want to go to the bank or grocery shopping in peace. It’s an special occasion vehicle for sure.
Range Rover great value compared to Bentley
9:47 “listen to that chime” . . . I do every morning, in my 2018 Audi Q5, which stickered for 50K. The turn signal and wiper stalks are also out of the Audi parts bin. There’s your depreciation.
Sadly the facelift is even more of the same VAG parts bin.
Audi? Probably from the Volkswagen bin and quite likely Skoda too.
You are paying for the badge, not for quality.
Came here to find this comment or post it myself if I couldn’t find it. My 2015 a8l made the same chimes, as did my wife’s older q7, as well as her current SQ5. I wonder why VAG didn’t think consumers would notice the same little details in their top shelf and mid range products?? Seems short sighted on their part. Bentleys should not make same noises as Audis
My favourite was the graphic on the infotainment when he out it in reverse. Straight outta one of the older vw Tiguans
I definitely think it's a vehicle for FU amounts of money. Like you buy it because you can afford the depreciation and upkeep, while enjoying the luxuriousness of it. It's not really for people that want to enjoy it for a bit, but also need to be able to sell it and get a chunk of their money back.
I just wish it had disappearing infotainment, like the cars.
First time I ever saw one of these was at a super posh garden market in the cotswolds of England, it was gold and had chrosme everything glistening as it pulled up. It was glorious and epicly luxurious looking
I miss the days when luxury car makers catered to their customers' superiority complex by making them *feel* more important with the latest and greatest safety features and cutting-edge engineering. Now it's about how much crap they can cram into a car. I remember pulling up next to a '93 Mercedes with my '87 Corolla thinking, 'If we both got t-boned right now, he'd walk away and I'd be sent home in Classico pasta sauce jar only because the paramedics would spring for the larger jar with the $5 in my pocket.'
Their goal is mass production and profits, not exclusivity. The discontinued Mulsanne is the last real Bentley. Rolls Royce did it right by redeveloping the Phantom. Keeps the brand exclusivity there so you have a reason to buy a Ghost.
My 91' 560 SEL was just that car.
@UCUXJ8942STI-XPrnSGUh_0Q has either never driven a vintage mercedes or has a massive inferiority complex
But then nowadays, if I'm on my '12 Corolla and I pull up against an '18 Mercedes and we were both T-boned, I do believe he'd be better off but we'd both be relatively fine.
You mean back in the day when they were the first ones to have 3 point seat belts? No that was Volvo, though technically they allowed everyone to have it. Maybe the first cars to have airbags? No that was Oldsmobile to have the first passenger airbag in 1973, with driver's side in 1975 and 1976. ABS braking? Nope...Chrysler did it in 1971. I suppose the crap you're talking about is all of the electronics that are used for both managing the vehicle's entertainment system as well as the sensors and environmental controls (to keep you comfy) in addition to things like the radar controlled cruise and other things to help make a long trip easier on the occupants. Don't change my luxury car, dammit!
Tyler plays piano? That's really great!
Not really. Listen again.
Watch his fingers lol he’s not playing
5:00 One of those "cannot be unseen" things about the Range Rover Sport is how high the dash is mounted inside, which meant they had to black out a big portion of the lower part of the windshield. I always notice that every time I see one of these things. lol Apparently its cost savings. They wanted to reuse the normal big Range Rover dash, but in the smaller Sport body, so the dash board doesn't actually fit quite right, so they blank out that portion of the windshield to try and hide it.
Gotta 12 cylinder in it. Kinda necessary to make the engine fit.
That’s actually not the reason at all, if you look at the interior of the big one the dash is completely different from the sport. Not sure why it’s like that but it creates a good driving position either way lol
I remember Clarkson mentioning that part below the windshield in his old Top Gear review.
And yeah it does ruin the lines a bit once you notice it.
How does it translate that JLR would source dashes for VW group? Not bloody likely.
I love how he acts like he couldn’t just go buy one tomorrow if he wanted. $150k isn’t that much compared to the rest of his cars if he really wanted one get could have one lol.
Maybe but that's not what he is willing to pay for it
I've been pretty blown away by how many of these I see driving around in my area. Considering what they cost I figured they'd be a lot more rare, but apparently people have more money than they know what to do with around here.
Sounds like a good opportunity to open a service center for Bentleys in your area. If you don't mind me asking, which city/state do you live in?
Look at the Ace family BS on here. On tick baby! Lot of that stuff gets loaned or rented when you have just enough $.
I noticed this the other day in the UK, you can pick up a used Bentayga with between 30-50k miles for about 85-90k, crazy prices. Still better than a lot of new cars, and was the fastest in the world when it was released. Only slower by 1mph over the Urus.
That piano skill was unkown. That crackle reaction was hilarious.
I don't think he was playing the piano. It was a player piano.
@@dr_ned_flanders I don't know
@@mixedboi It was, you can see keys he's not touching working themselves.
@@ariescustom lol nice. Thanks for clarifying.
Woot! It's cars like this that convince me to stick with boring Toyotas, Hondas and Mazdas as my daily drivers.
Theres Toyota Tacomas with over 1 million miles all over the place. Toyota is the true king.
In my case it’s my empty, dusty bank account that keeps me out of Bentley dealerships…
probably the price too 😂
Can't afford a Corolla here interest rates are high very unreasonable cars don't depreciate in our Currency a base variant corolla 1.6 Automatic with limited features like Power steering Power mirrors non retractable mirrors AC ABS Steel wheels with wheel caps Cost 10393.75 USD
The Bentley Bentayga is a super nice car. It has all the right stuff. It has the ride. It has the comfort. It has all the premium stuff. But it’s name and look overall are just so forgettable. It just does not have the “presence” it needs for this level of car. It’s missing the “special” thing that makes people want it.
The RR Cullinan looks like crap too, but it's selling like hotcakes.
I know cars can get annoying if you want to drop that Bently to my house ill happily do so
Literally every single SUV manufacturer has mastered an automatic closing tailgate that is simple, and reliable, leave it to Bentley to make it extremely complex, expensive, loud, and unreliable.
Lmao now imagine the cost to fix it in 3 years when it dosent work anymore
Because people figured out they're overpaying for an Audi Q8
You mean VW Touareg right?
@@altergreenhorn yeah that too 😂
so why doesn’t that apply to the urus
@@marcelohendrix6139 Because of the name "Lamborghini"
@@marcelohendrix6139 Ursus as well it is all the same VW touareg platform, with different body style and the price tag.
I think the reasoning why the Bentayga is depreciating, while its competitor are not (Although I would argue that the Range Rover is soon to depreciate very soon a lot) it’s because they already had a new facelift. In addition, I think the other reason behind it is because the Bentayga has a cheaper version, which in my opinion is even better than the standard one, which is the Plug-In Hybrid Bentayga. The Plug-In Hybrid starts at $166,425. In my opinion, compared to the competitor, is a bargain and better priced than the competition, with the only exception of the GLS Maybach. However, the Maybach is way over MSRP and in my opinion overpriced, just like G-Wagons. Knowing Mercedes-Benz product history, it won't be for long to see them crashing down in value soon. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, although my favorite, is the safest one to purchase as the depreciation is going to be extremely slow or non-existent given the fact that Rolls-Royce is just like Jeep and Porsche. Barely any changes in their car and design. There’s almost no difference between a Rolls from 2010 to a brand new one for most people and even for us car enthusiasts. The Urus is the same case like the Cullinan .
And also in my own opinion as someone who’s very familiar with this types of cars, I would definitely buy the new Bentley Bentayga Hybrid over everything else due to one thing that many people don’t find out until they own one. I don’t mind the fuel economy being bad (like in a Super car) because it won’t be my daily. However, in this type of car/SUV, everybody will be looking at you all the time and sometimes it compromises your own security. Being a plug-in hybrid means that I have to stop less frequently at a fucking gas station for everybody to look at me or having the possibility to be rob gun pointed. This is something that the Bentley has an edge over the Maybach and Cullinan, in which provides this level of comfort both in real life and in my mind.
In my country, Puerto Rico, is even a bigger bargain and a big deal due to the fact that we pay tariff and lot of it. A Cullinan would easy be at the $500k and above here maybe. The Normal Bentayga would be at $300k. However, because plug-in hybrid and electric cars are exempted from paying taxes and tariff. This Bentley is more cheaper than a normal GLS or normal Range Rover.
Cheaper and better fuel economy, and for a car brand that has so many heritage and name, its a bargain for that level of luxury and a no brainer.
Maybe also because Bentayga is a very weird word.
@@Digital-Dan exactly, like: Bentyshark would be.
I figure the reason for the drop in price is the W12 engine and known expensive reliability problems.
You forgot to mention the fact that they leased significantly more Bentayga models then they do with Mulsanne, or SUVs like the Cullinan, Maybach GLS. The influx of lease returns will always drive the value down. The better the lease deal the more cars will be made. The Continental and Flying Spur depreciate much quicker than the Mulsanne due to the fact the production is like 4x as much.
The depreciation curve is similar to Range Rover. You only see that their “worth more” because the car originally cost more. Range Rovers lose about 50% value over 4 years($120k new, used market $65-70k which means your trade in is $55k ish). Bentayga $280k new, now 3-4 years later are $140k. Same depreciation.
The high end Range Rover SVR/Autobiographies are not sold in the same numbers as the standard Range Rovers, thus will hold their value better.
@@bmwmsport11 TONS of them are leased and returned. I would venture to say 60-70% are leased, which definitely helps for second-hand ownership. The majority will have been serviced well and not driven hard at all.
When you floored it, not only did you fly back in the seat, you can clearly see the entire suv front end lift up. What an amazing ride.
The instruments and controls are familiar to any Golf/Passat owner. A beautiful car, but seems to be more of a British flavored trim level of VolksWagon than a truly unique product.
You sure all those repeated clicks at the end are normal? I had a Continental GT and the motor to close the lid would whir and then the latch would grab it and click once to lock.
the Bentayga looks so gorgeous this gen is better looking then the new one🔥
12:19 Hoovie sets world land speed record, low orbit acceleration record, Earth re-entry speed record. The only thing faster is a snot.
Those interiors are such a luxury experience! Great fun replacing the spark plugs too!
I love when the leather headliner stretches over time and hangs! Driving back to Bentley to fix it over and over again is better than driving it where I actually wanna go
I know a guy with a Urus who was offered $30k over what he paid to trade it in a year after he purchased it. And that's from an actual Lambo dealership. Crazy!
A super nice 2500 sqft building two doors down from my business in a nice part of the OKC Metro just sold for around that same price as that Bentley sold for new. That's nuts.
It's all fun and games until that check engine light comes on
Exciting news! There’s a Bentley in Omaha, which is 60 miles closer to you than Dallas.
Just drove through Omaha. Actually it looked great, very safe and prosperous.
Man that W12 with turbos is something else. You can see the whole front end jump up on acceleration like its ready to take off into the sky. At its used price that's got to be one of the top sporty cars.
I’ve had the pleasure of driving that vehicle before and it’s my favorite SUV ever to drive I agree with you 100%
"Six figure speeds"
Like 186,000 miles/second?
No, 103.458 mph
I bought a w12 Bentayga for around 150k and sold it for 130k. I lost money on it while I made money on every other car in the same period
These cars are depreciating because no one in their right mind wants one, especially used.
I can’t speak for the market but I would not want to work on that w12. Your car trek cl65 was a perfect example of how annoying maintenance can be on a big engine crammed into a small space. I’d imagine most of the parts are only shared with continentals and maybe the vw phaeton which can’t be cheap
Because it isn't nearly ugly enough? I was passed about an hour and a half ago by someone driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. That is an awful looking mess.
It lookslike an oversized blinged up London cab
You pronounced Centenary perfectly.
Thought the same. I wonder how he’s going to celebrate EuroAsian Bob’s hundredth birthday? 😜
Took me a minute to figure out he wasn't saying "sedentary"
@@rpavlik1 That was my initial thought, his pronunciation of roof is not a fluke then.
@@gbalmain roof has so many valid pronunciations. It's stuck in the middle of a vowel shift.
7:45 the puddle lights are modified for that Centenary Edition package, with the gold ring around the “B”. I’ve never seen multi-colored puddle lights before, they’re just white lights typically. Nice touch.
Piano performance just made my day :-D thanks Hoovie!
Ok, here's a take:
I'm guessing the reason for that particular car's depreciation is that it - performance Bentley's in particular & brand at large - are basically a 'rich man's / Boy'z toys' (not disparaging them or gender stuff here by the way).
To break that down to what it means Bentley's have a heritage as luxe drivers cars - rather than Rolls which are often seen as more sedate, with models like the Phantom usually (but not always) for being chauffeured around in, also for cost reasons more often driven by older folk, not 'facelifted' as often and therefore keep relative value & kept for longer in comparison.
What that also means is that when the new-er or 'refreshed' Bentley comes out, the 'old' model, regardless of how relatively recent its purchase or good it already is mostly gets replaced for the current model even if it's just slightly redesigned or better.
The original owner I'm also guessing has a couple more cars & probably a full time driver. Partly goes to explain the low mileage on this particular vehicle.
The $50,000 off after 1 year's use with low mileage may seem huge or wasteful but to multi-millionaire / billionaire types it's actually a small incentive - for them like $5 off - for getting it off their hands for the next, latest greatest which may or may not be another Bentley by the way.
its a 2020. Its 2 years old, not 1.
True to the intro of every show, Hoovie is getting nostalgic over a 2020.
I have to say, this video has being one of the most enjoyable and fun videos in a while! You do great content, I have seen them all week by week, but this one was just GREAT! Keep it up!!
A truly stupid video about a truly stupidly over priced SUV.
That electronic tailgate sounds broken.
There is NO REASON a car costing that much should be making those kind of noises when closing the rear hatch. Sounds really cheap!
Real reason why the Bentayga depreciates so rapidly: When I first saw it I thought "So this is what it would look like if Bentley built their own version of the Subaru Outback!"
It just doesn’t look special compared to a culinan or a urus
Bet the door dings at Costco hurt a lot more.
@@bandombeviews6035 Or a Genesis GV80....
Tyler hitting 6 figure speed going from Kansas to LA in 8 seconds
It would only be 5...
I think he reached his destination on the first pull, if you know what I mean.
That's what I was thinking. 6-figure speeds are quite impressive.
He means a 6 figure (ticket) speeds
When Hoovie adjusted the seat at 11:08 I went "ahhhhhh" myself. You could see him melt into the seat and it looks more comfortable than a high-end recliner.
I've noticed he does tend to drive lying down.
somehow doubt a car seat is more comfortable than a high end recliner.
Going to have to zonk the fake vents around the fog lights.
You're back on track. LOVED this episode. Very Cool.
Hoovie I think your getting mixed up between the SQ7 and the RSQ8
Possibly, but the SQ7 is a much better looking more practical SUV(3 rows, 7 seats vs tiny RSQ8). We just rolled over 22k miles on our 2021 model, used it recently to tow back my "Daily" 2000 Trans Am 6MT. Gapped some bikes towing an auto transport trailer up the mountain on the way to pick up a car in TN. XD
@@RollinwithRoland Wow, color me impressed ...... not.
"Trailering a daily driver" was the first failure
@@RollinwithRoland do people mistake you for Wayne Kerr a lot?
@@mycosys, I have no idea who that is.
@@machtschnell7452, don't read much huh? The video on my channel has a full description of the trip.
Here's a fun fact. Extremely wealthy people do NOT buy cars like this. They Lease them. No financial adviser would ever allow a client to throw away their money on something that depreciates like a so-called luxury vehicle. When you incorporate, your leased vehicle is (tax-deductible).
Also, what Hoovie is leaving out is that the Auto Industry (especially the used car market) is in a (Bubble). Once microprocessor manufacturing returns to normal levels, new car sales will level out. And the inflated prices on used cars will fall like a rock. It will be a race to the bottom.
I love Bentleys. I’d honestly prefer a Bentley over a rolls. Same luxury feel, but a little more subtle
5:33 On a $260k car, I would expect the doors to fall into their detents without jiggling like a hula dancer's hips.
they made a refresh so quick just 3 years... the "old" one devalued... its still modern though and what a great car... the speed model is definately the one to get! what a dream car!
Previous owner farted in the seat, quick depreciation . The rich wants unfarted in vehicles
Glad you posted this, I was about to order one 😂
Unless you want a funky custom leopard interior or some of that laquered horn dash veneer it's never a great deal buying new...
@@LaurentiusTriarius he's kidding
Thanks for this video Tyler... Another year or two and it'll be within my price bracket. ✌🏽😀
I love ridiculously expensive depreciated cars. They NEVER break with me. 😍😍😍
The car review was ok, i suppose, but that piano ending was classic Hoovie.
Brilliant, oncor oncor....
new or old its a rich persons car , secondhand repairs are extremely expensive, if you buy one it should be done without even battering an eyelash, and when its time for it to go you are just buying the next most expensive model of whatever, and while its under waranty its not your problem its the dealers but you know this, i wonder how reliable these are i bet they are pretty good, i like it very much , you should buy one hoovie it suits you.
"British cars doing British things" - it's a German car Hoovie, it's a LHD model, so it's even assembled in Germany, only the RHD models are assembled in the UK. I suspect the VW W12 engine is part of the reason these things depreciate so hard - it's a shit engine, excessively complicated with multiple failure points. They rarely make it to 100,000km without massively expensive issues - and then as you say it's going to be very difficult getting support. You'd think they'd have something worked out with other VAG dealers to provide service.
What... all Bentley Bentayga's are finished in Crewe. They were a few Flying spurs built at Dresden for the German Market to keep the factory open until it moved to electrification but all Bentleys now come down the lines at Crewe.
If it was a sedan, I would really love it. As an SUV, I really dislike the overall look, but I really don't like to look at, or drive, SUVs.
A nice spec Continental GT would be my absolute ideal daily driver.
Its a lot to pay for a brick.
Does anyone else miss the days when Hoovie was kicking around in cars that most folks could afford??
Well with the car market right now...most people can't afford any car right now.
Yep. Same thing happened with Doug. Even if they made their name with affordable or weird cars, every car TH-camr that's successful starts going for boring spots, luxury, and exotic cars. It gets really samey.
I think we should expect to see more of Tyler reviewing new cars and less of buying old junk and wasting money on them, maybe that is part of the reason he sold off most of his collection, I'm totally fine with both or either, it's free entertainment.
Dude, I rarely leave reviews on car vids, but you did a really great job with that, and taught me a good bit too. Keep up the great work!
"Mabye one day I'll be able to own one" says the man with 3 lambos 🤣🤣🤣
It's still a Bentley... Once the warranties run out, it'll be a nightmare.
If you worry about Bentley maintenance costs then you couldn’t even afford the vehicle in the first place
thats a nice genesis GV80 right there
my $55000 RAM has a tesla like screen vs that tiiny one on the bentley
For a moment there I thought Hoovie had added narration over the video given the complete lack of noise in that cabin, not just engine, no wind, road or HVAC. Damn that thing is quiet.
Watching Hoovie bungle up the pronunciation for centenary every time was hilarious
No offence though, i love hoovie and his weird pronunciations. For instance Euroasian Bob is always pronounced as Urination Bob😅
