Not having spent any time in an 18MY car, I’m surprised by this - there are lots of parts bin VW bits in the Bentayga, but I’d say the quality of the trim (and how solid it feels) is noticeably better than the L405. Still not a fan of the Bentayga though... |

There is a notable difference between ‘standard’ 18MY L405 derivatives and previous model years as well. However, the SVO derivative fit and finish is simply extraordinary, right down to a full leather loadspace cover. Compared to a 17MY SVO, it’s come on such a long way.

Indeed, it is a “hand finished and trimmed vehicle” but underneath it is still a standard production FF.....

I think we could apply the same sentence for the Bentayga:

Very true........but the base vehicle reliability/quality might be more suited to a £150K+ price range David Please let me know if my comments upset you, I may wish to upset you again. |

Absolutely - the Bentayga is a cynically-conceived car - whilst the Cullinan looks awful, at least it isn’t (entirely, at least) on the X7 platfrom. |

I do like the Bentaga , but what sets the RR apart for me is the far better seating position. The Bentleys is far more car like, lower. |

Definitely, claustrophobic by comparison in the front - the screen pillars are close and low. |
