Flying is a huge and high charge.
Six -figure ultra -luxy seeds are usually perfect from top to bottom. Every detail is rescued from hard work, and the result feels as if it was born from the book of Victorian poetry. But when these pillars of amazing pillars batted against zero emission mandate and regulations. 2022 Bentley Flying is the case with Spoiler.

The first impressions are always important, and the flying splendor makes a hell of a spraying. One sidan is standing everywhere, even in the white color of my tester. When the sun descends at the right angles, the bright work can be seen in the grill and on the flying B Hood ornaments, and this light also exposes the body’s strong lines above both wheels. If you want some shiny, go for it – as my respected partner Note in her first driveThere are 56 billion Different ways to create this car – but even such a subtle speculation still leaves its mark.
In comparison, the interior of the Flying Spring Hybrid is anything But Latif my tester includes Odisian Edition specification, one, 50,050 (!!!) package that includes visual drama with leather headliner, diamond baver on seats, 3D diamond leather on door panels and some straight open open taps Koa Wood.
Each millimeter of the material is carefully implemented, and the result is the best automotive interior that I have ever experienced. Everything looks at the top and feels, and I really dig a blue/white/gray color path. That’s great, I’m constantly hiding the infotining screen (thanks, benty rotating display) to see more wood. If I have to find a complaint, it is that all this metal can introduce some of the sun.
Brand Gacks may see Audi switch gear on the steering wheel, indicating that Bentley was leaning on his VW group’s parents for cabin tech. A 12.3 -inch touch screen runs a modified version of PCM software of Porsche. These are the last generation of things, though, so the boot times are slightly lazy, but when everything grows and running from the left side makes it easier to change between different menu. The four USB-A ports are equally divided between the two rows, and the Apple Carplay and the Android Auto are both standard. A tweet version of Audi’s virtual cockpit remains in the gauge display, so you can bounce to display all kinds of things, but I prefer the best old school gauge cluster layout.
The inner scroll of my tester comes mainly in yacht rock life. No Christopher Cross calls the State.
If you do not specify your flying sple -hybrid with Bentley’s, 8,970’s Naeem audio upgrade, you are a dum. This 2,200 watt system collides, which provides excellent audio explanation in a frequency range, so it will be an unprecedented experience of listening to the fans of Batch or death grip.
Not surprisingly, Bentley’s next high water mark comes from the path of Chassis. The air suspension with the Encoli Dempers provides a softening rider. Flight stimulating is incredibly faster in comfort mode, and it tightens a smoke in the game, but the best children’s world Bentley mode is the place where I love to keep it, because the ride is almost illegal plush. I did not miss myself from active Savi Bars and Rear Wheel Steering found on non -PHE models, but it is surprising that they cannot be made on these variations. Then once again, I can’t say at all that I am in a hurry to rush the corner.
You will never guess what this B means.
Not too great
Bentley Flying has a 2.9 -liter twin turbo V6, 18.9 kW lithium -ion battery and pure 536 horsepower for electric motor and 553 pounds of torque for pure 536 horsepower. Itself, the e-motor has 134 HP and 295 LB-FT, and it will travel only 21 miles of EPA estimates on the electrons.
In the default EV format, this large body boss bosses take me into an amazing talent, but once this juice is gone, 2.9 liters V6 makes its way into the conversation with a tough way note that looks fine in the Porsche-the real source of this power train is strange. This is never too loud in the cabin, though, a little extra speaker is thankful to the bump that this unrest will silence V6 Yawal.
In other vehicles the V6 underwind looks fine, but it doesn’t really scream “Bentley” under the burden.
Working in its hybrid methods is the place where the hanging of the flying sperid hybrid falls from a mountain. Full grease needs to be accelerated, and if half of the equation goes dry, this heavy holler feels a bit less power. Hybrid mode is fine, though inner combustion can penetrate under heavy throttle applications.
Trying to keep some electrons in Bentley’s battery is also a surprisingly disappointing matter. Hold mode is probably the most disturbing, why as far as I can tell, it’s not in fact Catch Something in this mode, especially during the two days of driving, I dropped the lithium ion pack to just 10 % from 40 % condition. In heavy traffic, I never saddened the gas to kick the V6 in life, so even though the hold was activated, I would sit there and see my electron disappearing into the sky.
Pro Tip: Keep the Flying Spring Hybrid as soon as possible in pure EV mode. You won’t regret it.
There is a recurrence break, but I can’t see its programming for my life. Whether the beach feature is activated in the menu of the car, Flying Slow Hibrid I like to do nothing – but only sometimes. Other times, the region will kick, but not at the level that feels really doing something. This happens whether the battery is in high state or low, and it is really confused. The feeling of the brake pedal also leaves a lot to be desired, which contains a very clear cross -point between regeneration and friction. The easily breakdown in this car is amazingly difficult, which is a small point defeat, a luxury bridge and everything.
Most owners will have houses with charging solutions, and it takes only 2.5 hours in the juice completely with the standard level 2 setup, so I suggest that this bad boy is maximized. Although the problem of breaking is present in all methods, working on pure electricity is the place where the Flying Spring Hybrid really shines, and I hope that the first battery will be more slapped than electric bently Will Smith.
It doesn’t matter where you stand it, expect some serious attention.
Down on pieces of brass
Is this PHEo expensive? You beaten A base Flying Spring Hybrid will return you 7 217.525, which includes mandatory destination fees 7 2,725. My tester’s Odyssay Edition brings a spike window sticker to a spit -friendly 7 267.575, including the destination. Get mad at your custom touch, and it will not be difficult to spend more. 2022 Bentley Flying Spring can be five times more expensive than the average new car in the United States, but hey, this is still an average of 130,000 less expensive than the average home price, so a feather for your hat.
There are many things to like about 2022 Bentley Flying Flying Spring Hybrid. Sadly, the power train is not really one of them. But this is an easy fix, because the available V8 and W12 engine are terrific and less complicated from the user’s closing point of view. If you really want an electric bintley, and I think you probably, you are better than waiting for the real thing.
