Bentley’s new flagship arrives for a cause.
The luxury automotive world has changed. While the pinnacle of luxury driving had in the past came in the form of limousine-like sedans with impressive length, immense power, and peerless comfort, style, and luxury. However, the tastes of many car buyers have shifted to favor SUVs, and luxury SUVs are a larger segment than they have ever been before, and for many brands, including Bentley, serve as the flagship models, symbols of what a manufacturer can do when it pulls all the stops.
