THE 2026 BENTLEY FLYING SPUR IS AN ULTRA LUXURIOUS ELECTRIFIED SEDAN WITH UBER QUICK REFLEXES

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Bentley Flying Spur receives a significant powertrain upgrade, now exclusively featuring a V8 plug-in hybrid system. This new base engine delivers an impressive 671 horsepower and offers up to 50 miles of all-electric range, positioning it as a powerful and efficient ultra-luxury sedan. The reviewer highlights the car's exceptional handling dynamics, attributing them to its shared MSB architecture with the Porsche Panamera, making it a true driver's car in its segment. While the interior retains Bentley's signature opulence with high-quality materials and customizable options, some practical drawbacks are noted, such as a reduced trunk space due to the battery pack and the lack of automatic door operation. The reviewer also expresses a desire for a more emotive engine sound, suggesting the Speed version might offer a more visceral experience. Despite the high price point and extensive options list, the Flying Spur is presented as a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for those seeking a blend of luxury, performance, and technological advancement.
