Adaptive suspension and noise-reducing features such as acoustic glass contribute to a smooth, serene ride appreciated by reviewers.

Cons:

The battery under the floor reduces luggage capacity compared with non-hybrid Flying Spur versions, a frequent point of feedback in forums and reviews.
Although sufficient for daily commuting, the EV range of the Bentley Flying Spur PHEV is modest compared to some plug-in hybrid rivals.
