Used Bentley Continental GT 2015 Automatic

Bentley's best-selling model; it claimed more than 50% of the company's sales last year, and one that has found more than 52,000 homes since its introduction back in 2003. The changes for Bentley's facelifted Continental family are, in some cases, wide-ranging and in others specific. Namely, all cars get restyled grilles, bumpers, boot lids and exterior chrome details, and more colour choices (now 117 standard ones), additional alloy wheel designs and different leathers and Alcantara interiors. More specifically, there are no changes to the V8 engine's power and torque, but Crewe's two-fingers-to-the-establishment W12 motor has been given the 'green' treatment in its non-Speed entry-level form.

It has more power and torque than before, but can now run on half its cylinders at a cruise, helping save fuel and lower CO2. It's this engine that we're testing. Ride quality is good, too. The standard air suspension has four modes and dialled right back it takes camber, potholes, and broken surfaces in its stride while keeping the Conti's big body in check, too. The sportiest setting is a touch too firm, with potholes particularly sharp. The sweet spot is in between. Inside the quality is still very high. The leather, the inlays, the chrome inserts are all genuine and look and feel the part while the front seats are superbly comfortable yet supportive.
