    Meet The Most Expensive SUV In The World – The Bentley Bentayga

    What car would you buy with 230,000 dollars? An SUV might not be top of your list, but that’s exactly the price tag Bentley are charging for their new Bentayga.

    The entire concept seems strange on the onset. Bentley is after all a manufacturer associated with chauffer-driven smooth driving and luxury, not the rough-and-ready off-road driving though the dirt and mud that SUVs are associated with. Could they really pull off such a vehicle and justify such a high price?

    The Bentayga certainly seems to have a lot of things going for it. As with all their cars, it’s interior is the plushest of the plush – including wooden veneer panels and hand-stitched leather. As for it’s off-road capabilities, Bentley does certainly seem to have pushed the boat out in this respect too. The chassis alone has eight settings in total to cover all terrains from snow and grass to sand dunes. There’s also an Electronic Active Roll Control System to stop the vehicle toppling over when driven to the extreme.

    The Bentayga also has some extra tricks up its sleeve. For one, it can reach a mighty 180mph – making it one of the fastest SUVs on the planet too.

    You can see where the audience may lie. It’s the ultimate batmobile for every high-flying young person out there that wants to be Bruce Wayne, delivering class and thrills. Certainly, a muddy Bentley may not be a good look, but with the money to afford such a car, you could most likely afford your own automatic car wash too. Or, you know, get your butler to do it.

    There are some pitfalls to this vehicle. In it’s attempts to be a jack of all trades, general handling seems to have taken a knock. Despite its speed, it doesn’t quite take corners like a Continental GT and there has been criticism when it comes to steering response, perhaps largely down to the amount of electronics involved causing it to feel robotic.

    For a luxury SUV with a more human and visceral feel, you might be better off saving fifty grand and getting a Range Rover Sport SVR or a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. However, whilst these cars may give you better handling, you won’t get the ridiculous top speed or added luxuries of the Bentayga. In many ways this is a benchmark vehicle, but you have to ask yourself who would really get the use out of such a car. Saudi billionaires who want to travel to a meeting in luxury but also want to take a shortcut across the desert? Few of us realistically need to travel in style and travel ruggedly off-road – and we’d probably rather choose another vehicle for either purpose.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
