Positives

Class-leading luxury and attention to detail. Jaw-dropping speed. Top marks for sophistication and prestige. Impressive configuration options.

Considerations

Ordinary driver-assistance systems cost extra. Subpar fuel economy. Six-figure price tag.

Verdict

The Continental is Bentley's sports coupe, a two-door grand tourer offering upwards of 500 horsepower for effortless long-distance cruises. A convertible is also available. The Continental's air suspension provides a cloud-like ride, while the hand-crafted cabin pampers with elegant materials and high-end technology. Bentley's bespoke program allows for endless configuration.

What's New for 2023

For 2023, the two-door Bentley Continental offers a sporty new S that outfits the ultra-lux grand tourer with blacked-out exterior accents, a high-performance exhaust system, and unique wheels.
