Saw my first Bentley SUV in Sydney CBD yesterday, totally underwhelmed, side ways on it could be a mix of german marques.

I will put it in the Ssangyong category of attractiveness  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre

Yes, totally agree, but, the inside is fabulous. Just shame that you've got to look at it from the outside before getting in.

And now it even has an Audi V8 4.0 Diesel engine............... according to Autocar it is so well re-engineered by Bentley (basically they take it to pieces and re-engineer to their requirements at Crewe) that fuel consumption apart, it is almost as good as the W12 petrol. Still not incentive enough for me to buy if I could afford to. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

A number of the reviews suggest that the Bentley is better than the FFRR as a luxury SUV. Better luxury, better on road driving and good enough off road. Not that many FFRR or Bentleys will ever go off road, of course.

The Bentley isn't a looked, that's for sure. But then neither are a number of excellent cars. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Ugly as well as Maserati Levante

It's as ugly as however it is the best 4x4 to drive by miles! Wonderful cabin and one is purely besotted with luxury and refinement. I will get one when they hit £70k (hopefully not too long)!.

They seem to look nicer decrhomed in darker colours. I was lent one for a long weekend and loved it apart from the looks!

Nice RRS. I would never get the Diesel version no matter how refined it was , not when theres a w12 available. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Oh yes this one has to be a V12 all day long
