In this review we take a closer look at the new 2025 Bentley Bentayga Speed to find out whether a luxury SUV can still deliver serious performance. We drive it on real roads to test acceleration, handling and everyday usability, while also exploring what makes the Speed badge different from the standard Bentayga.
Inside, we examine the interior design, materials and technology to see how Bentley balances craftsmanship with modern luxury. Comfort, refinement and practicality are all put to the test, along with the question every fast Bentley has to answer. Can something this large still feel genuinely exciting to drive?
A big part of that experience comes from the optional Akrapovič exhaust system, and we spend time listening to how it changes the character of the Bentayga Speed, from relaxed cruising to full performance mode.
If you are considering a high performance luxury SUV, or simply want to know how the fastest Bentayga fits into Bentley’s modern lineup, this review covers everything you need to know.

No comparison to its more obvious competitor the Aston Martin DBX S?
Great video sir!!
What a beast. Perfect balance of sound, sportiness and elegance 🔥
Again the 1% get to murder the planet for fun, while the 99% plebs get told they're evil for murdering the planet and told they have to drive electric and hybrid shit shows. Nice, thanks for reminding us of where we belong.
I'll buy one 🎉❤
Us paupers can only dream
Nope, still hideous.

They need to put the 770 hp (or 800 hp in Urus SE) Continental GT Speed hybrid engine in it.

It LOOKS like the Genesis GV80 😂😂😂. I'll take 6x of the Genesis please… Bentley can suck a fat One….
💯♥️💯
Never had a second thought about Bentley until one parked next to me at B&M of all places. Not usually where Bentayga’s frequent. Without being stereotypical, the couple that got out looked like characters from Snatch. I had a quick look through the side window and was blown away by the interior. I really did take a fancy to it. Maybe one day, with a couple of dags in the back.
Being a W12 owner I believed that an injustice was done. But now. I was wrong😢. Zero interest in dyson hybrid work of the devil with pink or blue hair. Burn baby burn fossil fuels. Great video great car.
Rory, are you sure you don't want to try the Chinese EVs that make Bentleys look ancient?
Clicked play and enjoy every second of this video.
Nice one Rory
