Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid

The Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid is a four-door luxury sedan that combines a gasoline engine with a plug-in hybrid system and all-wheel drive. It is offered in Canada as the Flying Spur, Azure, Speed and Mulliner, and it is built as a long-distance grand tourer with a hushed cabin, a supple ride and a hand-finished interior. The plug-in system lets it cover shorter trips on electric power alone.

Range, Battery, and Charging of the Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid:

• Every version is rated at up to 48 km of electric range and up to 709 km of total range.
• A 25.9 kWh battery feeds a 140 kW electric motor.
• Level 2 charging is listed at about 3 hours, so an overnight charge at home restores the full electric range.
• The 48 km of electric range covers many daily commutes and city errands without starting the engine.
• The battery is packaged under the trunk floor, which removes the underfloor storage area.

Powertrain and Performance of the Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid:

• The Flying Spur and Azure produce 500 kW and 930 Nm, while the Speed and Mulliner produce 575 kW and 1,000 Nm.
• 0–100 km/h takes 3.9 seconds in the Flying Spur and Azure and 3.5 seconds in the Speed and Mulliner.
• Top speed is 270 km/h for the Flying Spur and Azure and 285 km/h for the Speed and Mulliner.
• A 4.0 L gasoline engine and the electric motor drive all four wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
• Air suspension, active anti-roll control and four-wheel steering give a smooth ride and a surprisingly agile feel for a large sedan.
