The Bentley Flying Spur Sedan impresses with 550 HP 41 km and an attractive starting price of 180900 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
The Flying Spur arrives with the kind of road-stopping presence reserved for limousines and yachts: long overhangs, a planted stance and a length of 5,316 mm that reads as authority in any lane. Proportions are elegant rather than aggressive, so the car looks at home in a hotel forecourt as much as it does on the motorway. The overall effect is classical grand tourer rather than knife-edge sports saloon, a quiet broadcast of wealth and taste.
Inside, the cabin matches the exterior promise with high-grade leather, precise stitching and veneer surfaces that feel bespoke rather than mass-produced. Seating is configured as a true four-seater, prioritising individual rear comfort over a crowded five-seat layout, and the boot offers 420 litres—enough for two large suitcases but not a moving van worth of cargo. Controls are laid out for ease of use, and everyday ergonomics favour relaxation and convenience over airline-style gimmicks.
The Flying Spur’s wheelbase and generous dimensions translate into generous legroom and a calm rear cabin for long trips, so back-seat passengers travel like executives on company time. Kerb weights range around 2,330–2,505 kg, which explains why the car feels solid and insulated but also why manoeuvring in tight urban spaces requires planning. The payload figures and fuel tank capacity—around 80–90 litres depending on version—mean long highway stints are straightforward without constant pit stops.
Underneath the composed skin sits an all-wheel-drive layout with a dual-clutch automatic that turns prodigious torque into effortless forward motion; the hybrid delivers 544 hp and the petrol V8 550 hp, with 0–100 km/h times of about 4.3 and 4.1 seconds respectively. Despite a heavyweight chassis, the Flying Spur accelerates like a sports car and cruises like a luxury liner, with the mass contributing to a damped, stable ride at motorway speeds. Steering and body control aim for refinement rather than razor-sharp feedback, so the car rewards confident inputs rather than aggressive hustling.
Two different philosophies are on offer: the plug-in hybrid manages a combined consumption figure near 3.3 L/100 km and an electric range of about 41 km from an 18 kWh battery, making short commutes and zero-emission zone trips practical without resorting to pure EV ownership. The V8, by contrast, will consume roughly 12.7 L/100 km in mixed use and emits considerably more CO2, so its running costs and environmental footprint are much higher. In everyday terms the hybrid suits urban and mixed-use buyers who want Bentley pace with occasional electric-only driving, while the V8 remains the choice for those prioritising soundtrack and unfiltered performance.
The Flying Spur comes with the contemporary suite of infotainment and driver assistance expected at this price point, pairing large displays and smartphone connectivity with adaptive safety systems that reduce stress on long journeys. Driver aids smooth out traffic and motorway driving, while cabin tech keeps passengers connected and comfortable; rear-seat occupants benefit from the quiet and HVAC precision that define the class. Expect fast, unobtrusive software and an interface designed to favour clarity over gimmickry.
The Flying Spur is aimed at buyers who want a rare blend of chauffeur-level comfort and genuine performance: executives who spend equal time being driven and taking the wheel, or owners who value luxury appointments and effortless speed. Current versions include a plug-in hybrid offering 544 hp with a 41 km electric range for city-friendly use, and a V8 petrol making 550 hp for those who prioritise traditional performance; both are automatic and all-wheel-drive. If the purchase brief calls for top-tier materials, long-distance composure and enough acceleration to surprise the traffic around you, the Flying Spur remains a persuasive, if expensive, choice.
