At a livestreamed event in Scotland on Tuesday, the British auto company revealed its second plug-in hybrid, the Flying Spur. Its first hybrid, a plug-in Bentley Bentayga SUV, was released before the pandemic. The spacious sedan, which has been available since 2005, will be “hybridized” by the end of this year, with a similar look as its internal-combustion engine predecessor, also called the Flying Spur. But that’s the point. It’s a more fuel-efficient version of the original car — with a “Hybrid” badge on the front fender and a quieter drive. The gas-powered Flying Spur starts at just under $200,000, while the hybrid is $204,000. An inside look.

When fully charged and combined with its fully fueled V6 engine, it can go more than 430 miles. It’s a touch slower than its V8, gas-engine counterpart, taking 4.1 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph instead of 4 seconds flat. There’s Flawless Emerald green, Crisp Frost white, Open Ocean blue, and Quiet Intensity gray for color choices. You can custom configure the Flying Spur Hybrid on the Bentley website.

Its first 100-percent battery electric vehicle is slated to arrive by 2026.
