Who is Bentley?
Bentley is a British luxury car maker, founded by W. O. Bentley and now part of the Volkswagen Group. Its identity brings together comfort, carefully finished interiors and strong performance, with a long-standing connection to motor racing. Today, the range spans grand touring cars, saloons and an SUV.
From 1995–2027, Bentley’s line-up moved from a variety of large coupés and saloons to a range led by the Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga.
What are Bentley’s main model lines?
The Continental name has several strands in the earlier years: Continental R, Continental T and Continental SC sit alongside the long-running Continental GT. The GT is the clearest thread through the range, while the Flying Spur serves buyers looking for a four-door luxury saloon. The Bentayga adds an SUV to the line-up.
Earlier saloons and convertibles include Arnage, Azure, Brooklands and Mulsanne. They give the range a broader shape than the modern trio, with distinct names for different body styles and roles.
How did the range change over time?
The late 1990s and 2000s include several overlapping lines: Arnage, Azure, Brooklands and the Continental R, T and SC. The Continental GT became a defining modern model after its launch in 2003, helping establish Bentley as a contemporary grand touring marque under Volkswagen Group ownership.
The Mulsanne followed in 2010 as a flagship saloon. The Flying Spur’s listed years begin in 2013, and the Bentayga arrived in 2016, bringing an SUV into the range. In the later years covered, the Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga remain the prominent nameplates.
Where do Bentley models appear?
Bentley figures are available across the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Canada. European, UK and French figures use their respective registration or official vehicle sources; the US and Canadian figures use EPA and NRCan ratings.
Consumption and emissions figures can differ between markets because the test procedures differ: Europe uses WLTP or, for older cars, NEDC; the USA uses EPA testing; Canada uses the 5-cycle procedure. Those results should be read within their own market’s test system.
