The new V8 is certainly a tad more economical and it sounds better! But, at the price point of the Bentayga, £30k extra is no big difference, so I'd opt for the W12!
The best version, after driving them all is the V8 Diesel After a mild tune it’s over 500bhp & 1,000Nm and you get 35mpg Simply superb and the reason I bought a second hand one to replace my dad’s BMW X5 3litre diesel, an excellent car itself, but not in the same ballpark after owning the Bentley 👍🏻
The new Bentayga with the W12 is the most impressive SUV you can get on the market right now!!🔝 I really appreciate the luxury interior and the attention to detail of Bentley! My favorite Bentayga is the V8 with its sporty black elements 😍 Thanks, Tim #shquad
I wish I was as happy as you are for even 5 minutes a day. Lol It’s a good idea for Bentley I think. There’s plenty of performance and luxury SUV’s but can see a lot of Bentley customers wanting better all weather options at that comfort level. Much rather have that than the Urus etc. I’d rather take the V-8 with more options than the extra 50k for the W12 too.
TheCarLovingSwede I have chosen multiple cars (4 currently) which all add up to less than the cost of this. Jeep Wrangler unlimited, Toyota 4Runner, Porsche Cayman and a 1967 Mustang. The right tool for the right job. This Bentley cost an obscene amount and isn't great at anything. My Jeep and 4 Runner would crush it off road, the Mustang would crush it in a straight line, and the Cayman would destroy it on windy roads.
Hi Tim, what do you think of the episode on grand tour about the ford gt, and I realized that each one of the 6 cylinders is making more horsepower then all the Compton if you multiple 108 horsepower by 8 cylinders in other cars.
It's a great idea to put a V8 in the Bentayga, same idea as offering it in the Conti GT. I really like the Bentayga, i see a lot of them around my area, i'd happily save the £30k over the W12 & grab the V8.
6:57 actually, this is basically (I suppose) the same braking system from the Urus, at least the dimensions are the same, so the Bentayga isn't the only car with those enormous brakes ;)
The Bentayga is one of the best looking SUVs out there right now. (In my opinion) You should also come to Vorarlberg (west from Tirol). we have nice roads there to :)
It's almost like the reviewers were told not to mention that this engine is a diesel or that it's the same engine found in the Audi SQ7...BUT what do I know🙃???
Qin Zungu But this one isn’t the V8 diesel engine. This one has the V8 petrol engine look at the rpm’s in the instrument cluster or just listen to the sound. But yes the V8 diesel shares the engine whit the audi sq7
i have to say that such driving and sliding through snow corners is normal for a 50$k + 4x4 suv . In a nissan xtrail 2017 i can do pretty much the same sliding and drifting like in the bentayga.
I would not! I picked up a V12 Mansory one year ago! That car was so fucked up by Mansory. It was lowered a lot so stability system was not working. After just some km that suspension got so stiff. Bentley Hamburg could do nothing about it so i had to drive it to Sweden where i live. And then transport it back to the car dealer in Hannover. Had to change back to original springs! Todays cars are not ment to tune like old cars. All systems these cars have does fuck it up good.
This has the same paint colour and similar interior finish to the Ford Ranger Wildtrak. The Ranger has the advantage of 100% tax relief and VAT refund for eligible businesses, so may well take a significant chunk of sales away from the Bentayga. Also you could easily get a fleet of ten fully loaded Rangers with significant change for the price of one Bentayga. Slam-Dunk!!!
Waste of money really.I'd rather get an Audi SQ7 fully spected.Better sporty drive,still great interior and you save money on this car.Still great video.
While the base price is expensive, it is reasonable. However the extras really take the piss as a percentage of the base price and compared to the total price of a well loaded Q7.
Listen by no means am I saying that a VW Touareg is a Bentley but some of the similarities of that body and interior are noticeably close. The door panels the panoramic roof the overall size look really close.
Love the videos Shmee, but honestly... I don't understand when you open the bonnet to show us the engine bay when 95% of it is covered in plastic. I wish more modern cars actually showed off their engines. 👍
Totally agree with you! Many commenters used to complain when I didn't show them though so I prefer to do so now as a good way to run over the numbers and explain what it does have under there.
All that plastic helps keep things tidy, quiet, and away from unqualified hands. Once you buy one, you can take the plastics off and bin them if you like, but it's not so photogenic under there.
Not even a min in...there is nothing on the exterior that you spoke above that is different from the W12 or the Diesel for that matter. All that blacked out trim is optional and available across the range. ;)
Did anyone else realise that the Bentley shmee drove it registered on uk plates but is left hand drive? and no the image isn’t flipped because the plate is still the right way around.
*Nope, I'd rather buy a fully optioned Macan Turbo w/ Performance package, and still be able to afford a 911 Carrera T. Alternatively, you could forgo the 911, and just buy a Macan Turbo or a Cayenne Turbo with basically every option box ticked, and save yourself a small fortune. Plus, I can imagine that the reliability with Porsche is better and your service bills would be far less than that of the Bentley would be.*
Shmee150 hello shmee!! I got delivery of my gt3 last week, i can say it’s a better car than the 570s, Nissan GT-R, and even better than the turbos and the 650s (given I’ve owned these cars) The driver to car connection, the sound of the engine in cabin (literally sounds like a workshop) and the vibrations gives you the feeling that u are in a pure race car, not to mention the endless revs and amazing sound
There is very little to fault that car...? To me it looks very much like a London cab, it can be loaded with whatever options and be built by whoever, but at the end of day it still looks like a London Cab.
the thing for me is it doesnt seem to jump out at you does it, apone first look its just another suv .a bentley gt for example screams hey im a bentley admire me, but this just doesnt do that, infact id go as far to say a range rover does look alot better and for spending over 130 grand id want it to scream look at me at least more than it does, but it just doesnt, think id rather have a range rover or a Q7
The Bentley Bentayga with a V8 has a £30k saving on the W12, does that make it the one to buy? Let's explore and find out!
Shmee150 how many cars do you own?
It will be great if Bentley make a performance edition of the bentayga
+Belal I have 4 right now but the GT3 arrives next week!
+Bryan I wonder if something like that will happen, but don't forget how much power the W12 Bentayga already has
The Black specification wheels would look much nicer.
I can't even afford the 1:18 scale model lol
and why would you?
Best reviews on the internet by far. No stuttering and straight to the point. Good job @Shmee150
I really like this car, I think about buying this car
Very informative yet fully decked out with all the bells and whistles to keep you on your feet.
The new V8 is certainly a tad more economical and it sounds better!
But, at the price point of the Bentayga, £30k extra is no big difference, so I'd opt for the W12!
It is honestly a beautiful car, the very finest of the british automotive industry 👏🏽👏🏽 another excellent review shmee
Excellent video as always. Very informative and I enjoy all the background information about the car.
Been watching your content for a little while now. Thank you for increased content. Just subbed
Greetings from Colorado, Carmrades. Stunning! Speechless! Priceless! I mean priceFUL!
This looks like a London Taxi in orange. I wouldn't touch it with a stick. Hats off for getting exited over it.
The best version, after driving them all is the V8 Diesel
After a mild tune it’s over 500bhp & 1,000Nm and you get 35mpg
Simply superb and the reason I bought a second hand one to replace my dad’s BMW X5 3litre diesel, an excellent car itself, but not in the same ballpark after owning the Bentley 👍🏻
The new Bentayga with the W12 is the most impressive SUV you can get on the market right now!!🔝 I really appreciate the luxury interior and the attention to detail of Bentley! My favorite Bentayga is the V8 with its sporty black elements 😍 Thanks, Tim #shquad
In love with the Bentayga! If I had a dream garage, and obviously I do, then this would be in it for sure.
Watching from kenya, 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 Great stuff Shmee150
No you should buy a gtc4lusso
For me probably that makes more sense, but you can see why the Bentayga has been huge for Bentley
Shmee150 oh yeah it most certainly is. i guess i just like a car to be a little more sporty. altough it might be a more suited car as a daily.
Read the title more carefully... it doesn't say "should I buy the Bentayga".
i'm expecting a Novitec Lusso in your garage soon, Tim !!! :D
Yes definitely love your vids keep up the good work
Thanks for the support!
Good morning from Singapore.love your video
Just noticed something!!! When most people get excited their voices go higher!!! Smees voice does the opposite! You go deep the more excited you get!
Great video! You’ve chosen the right roads.
@shmee the only difference between man’s and boy’s are the price of their toys ;).
You are the best youtuber!
I love Sthmee, great review, just subscribed
I wish I was as happy as you are for even 5 minutes a day. Lol

Much rather have that than the Urus etc. I’d rather take the V-8 with more options than the extra 50k for the W12 too.
Great Vlog 👍
Nice review! Yeah expensive but most people will have this only car. It suits all needs.
If I could choose just one car to have for the rest of my life it would be this 🙂
TheCarLovingSwede wow! Really? It's a luxurious grocery mobile.
GTRS yes but it is very versatile, and I would want something that I could use for anything 😉 what would you choose?
TheCarLovingSwede I have chosen multiple cars (4 currently) which all add up to less than the cost of this. Jeep Wrangler unlimited, Toyota 4Runner, Porsche Cayman and a 1967 Mustang.
The right tool for the right job. This Bentley cost an obscene amount and isn't great at anything.
My Jeep and 4 Runner would crush it off road, the Mustang would crush it in a straight line, and the Cayman would destroy it on windy roads.
This is a grocery getter for a guy with a multi-million dollar car collection
GTRS Nice cars. But what I meant is that you could only have ONE car for the rest of your life. NOTHING else.
Great Video as always! When will you be at the Geneva motorshow?
On both press days
If you go for the less powerful V8 then you could aswell get the V8 TDI. Costs less and has longer range, very good for enormous roadtrips :)
Hi Shmee! Love the vids. Would you take this or a Urus?
hi shmee is the bentaygas exterior big or is smal like the cayenne 92a?
Hi Tim, what do you think of the episode on grand tour about the ford gt, and I realized that each one of the 6 cylinders is making more horsepower then all the Compton if you multiple 108 horsepower by 8 cylinders in other cars.
Amazing review keep up the good work shmee150

Maybe for now then it is! I think the Bentayga V8 deliveries start before Urus, but you're definitely right about that.
Perfect spec. I would spec it like that too!!!😍👌🤤
Shmee giving precious consumer advice 😂😂
As it's a similar engine to the Panamera Turbo S I wonder if it will come with that car's hybrid system?
Same 4.0 V8 you can find in the Audi RS6! The sound is so distinctive!
This is the one I would go for!
How would you compare it with the urus, range rover and the GTC 4 Lusso????
saw this very car while driving through Kitzbühel today
I saw on February the 26th some Bentaygas with British license here in Chiemgau drive. Were you there?
Nope I am in Germany.
Chiemgau is in Germany! Between Munich and Salzburg. Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria.
Not there in Germany... ;)
This is a pity^^
The Bentayga is one of the best looking SUVs out there right now. (In my opinion)
You should also come to Vorarlberg (west from Tirol). we have nice roads there to :)
Campaign work some uczzfit particle emphasis after stable transform express.
It's almost like the reviewers were told not to mention that this engine is a diesel or that it's the same engine found in the Audi SQ7...BUT what do I know🙃???
Qin Zungu But this one isn’t the V8 diesel engine. This one has the V8 petrol engine look at the rpm’s in the instrument cluster or just listen to the sound. But yes the V8 diesel shares the engine whit the audi sq7
Giel Timmermans wow, car guy!
Looking forward to the Hybrid tests.
Shmee replies to our comments that's why shmee is the best
What do you think about Jon Olsson's new RS6 (Phoenix)?
I'm a great fan but of your work and passion! Would it be possible for you to say also torque numbers in lb per foot ...lb pound per feet????
i have to say that such driving and sliding through snow corners is normal for a 50$k + 4x4 suv . In a nissan xtrail 2017 i can do pretty much the same sliding and drifting like in the bentayga.
I would go for the Bentayga Mansory 😎
That's been a huge project for Mansory
Shmee150 But a cool one for sure!💪
I would not! I picked up a V12 Mansory one year ago! That car was so fucked up by Mansory. It was lowered a lot so stability system was not working. After just some km that suspension got so stiff. Bentley Hamburg could do nothing about it so i had to drive it to Sweden where i live. And then transport it back to the car dealer in Hannover. Had to change back to original springs! Todays cars are not ment to tune like old cars. All systems these cars have does fuck it up good.
So the porshe will be only a track car right?
Did anyone notice more cabin noise than w12??
Wasn't the Bentley at the end of the video the W12 because the number plates where different I'm sure the v8 was orange and had a different reg
This has the same paint colour and similar interior finish to the Ford Ranger Wildtrak. The Ranger has the advantage of 100% tax relief and VAT refund for eligible businesses, so may well take a significant chunk of sales away from the Bentayga. Also you could easily get a fleet of ten fully loaded Rangers with significant change for the price of one Bentayga. Slam-Dunk!!!
It sounds so good.
Anyone with a video link of the bentayga diesel exhaust sound? Factory exhaust
Waste of money really.I'd rather get an Audi SQ7 fully spected.Better sporty drive,still great interior and you save money on this car.Still great video.
Yeah I definitely should buy one, if I had the money.
Some people say this v8 diesel have 3 Turbo ......Is True ???
While the base price is expensive, it is reasonable. However the extras really take the piss as a percentage of the base price and compared to the total price of a well loaded Q7.
Hi Shmee! Currently watching from The Philippines! I'd get a Continental over the Bentayga though.
Listen by no means am I saying that a VW Touareg is a Bentley but some of the similarities of that body and interior are noticeably close. The door panels the panoramic roof the overall size look really close.
sorie kondi
There’s a new updated Touareg on the way very soon.
Tim, why don't you use some royalty free music through bluetooth to show us the sound system?
Microphone will never pick the quality of all those speakers. That is impossible.
Got it! I just think it would give us a slight idea of it, maybe being able to compare with others. Just a thought ;)
Love the videos Shmee, but honestly... I don't understand when you open the bonnet to show us the engine bay when 95% of it is covered in plastic. I wish more modern cars actually showed off their engines. 👍

Did anyone else realise that the Bentley shmee drove it registered on uk plates but is left hand drive? and no the image isn’t flipped because the plate is still the right way around.
It's luxurious, and without doubts a very good car. But I'd prefer an Urus... and I think it could fit you better. Or you can wait the Ferrari SUV
You know what, I'm really excited to try the Urus when they become available to the media - it will be a fascinating one to experience
Selling 10,000 of them just means we'll get even more crossovers from these companies. RIP performance sedans.
From some angles - with that colour - it just looks a bit like a Cross Polo ^^ - if you have no reference points for scale of course ;)
*Nope, I'd rather buy a fully optioned Macan Turbo w/ Performance package, and still be able to afford a 911 Carrera T.

Shmee150, more AMG GT-R vlogs, please!
Soon more :)
What’s up shquad!
Welcome back to the channel!
Hi Shmee!
#Shquad
I'm currently in Vietnam
I mean my vacation watching you and it's 9:00 pm
Wow, thanks for watching from Vietnam!
I am from Iraq it is 5:36 p.m. here
ok
You considering one?
Superb
When uour 911 GT3 will come?
Literally next week
Shmee150 hello shmee!!
I got delivery of my gt3 last week, i can say it’s a better car than the 570s, Nissan GT-R, and even better than the turbos and the 650s (given I’ve owned these cars)
The driver to car connection, the sound of the engine in cabin (literally sounds like a workshop) and the vibrations gives you the feeling that u are in a pure race car, not to mention the endless revs and amazing sound
Prototype museum in Hamburg. You should visit Hamburg. Come on!☺
I'll look into it!
That touchscreen is from a vw golf... or a different vw car. That is so cheap in a huge bentley luxury car I think so.
Use the 30k savings for a Novitec extra-loud exhaust and carbon parts
Oh mannnn i love SUVs....
This is the diesel right ?
M1GG13 * nope, petrol
This is the third model after the W12 and the diesel. This is a petrol 4 litre twin turbo V8.
There is very little to fault that car...? To me it looks very much like a London cab, it can be loaded with whatever options and be built by whoever, but at the end of day it still looks like a London Cab.
10:13 Or, as Richard Hammond put it, Swamp, Minefield, Christmas and Mexico
Hello from Seattle
a masterpiece
Gm stunning suv
Yesterday I saw a pink one
Goodness that's a brave choice
Shmee150 thank u so much 4 replying (that made my week
Any time, thanks for watching!
fire raider last week I saw a pink Tesla Model X. That was cruel even for a non Tesla-fan like me.
Probably belonged to Katie price. she even got her veyron sprayed pink! bit dumb but hey ho it's her money
the thing for me is it doesnt seem to jump out at you does it, apone first look its just another suv .a bentley gt for example screams hey im a bentley admire me, but this just doesnt do that, infact id go as far to say a range rover does look alot better and for spending over 130 grand id want it to scream look at me at least more than it does, but it just doesnt, think id rather have a range rover or a Q7
No soft close bonnet. Complete deal breaker
Man, how could they forget that!!
I just don't think i could justify this Bentley over 1 GLC 63S 1 BMW X5M and one Q7.
Shmee get one!!
The price difference of the V8 and the W12 is probably around 70k/90k in the Netherlands... :|
Is this V8 a diesel?
Schmently Schmeetayga V8? :D
Good try xD
Just fun :) we enjoy your videos! tip for you: maybe sometimes in future try to visit VW factory in Slovakia, home of all Q7s and Tuaregs. Cheeers
Te Engine Looks similar to the urus!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This Bentley Bentayga looks like a grizzly bear!
Maan........ Damn car though.
Yes
The navigation looks a bit cheap!
The engine is lighter, so it drives assumable better!
It's only 25kg lighter though, it isn't a huge difference
Automotive Mike 25kilos.. you wont even notice that..the car is already well over 2 tonnes
Handling wise the difference may come if the V8 is mounted further back than the 12 cylinder one. Still probably marginal difference at best.
True boii👻👌🏎
HE SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO BE THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR AND WOMEN ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO THE YEAR FOR ME AS I
