Bentley Flying Spur Trims Explained: From Speed to Azure

The Bentley Flying Spur lineup offers four distinct personalities, each engineered for different luxury preferences. Understanding these trim differences helps you select the Flying Spur that matches your driving style and priorities.

The Foundation: Flying Spur

The standard Flying Spur establishes the lineup's luxury credentials with Bentley's High Performance Hybrid powertrain. This advanced V8 engine paired with an electric motor delivers 671 hp and 686 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds while reaching a top speed of 270 km/h.

The model features a black matrix grille with chrome surround, 21-inch ten twin-spoke wheels, and hand-finished fluted Nappa leather seats. The interior showcases Crown Cut Walnut veneers throughout, with Dinamica roof lining providing a refined atmosphere. Standard comfort features include six-setting massage functions in all four seats and numerous adjustment options for headrests and bolsters.

This trim serves buyers seeking authentic Bentley luxury without specialized focus areas.

Flying Spur Azure: Wellness-Focused Engineering

The Azure variant transforms the Flying Spur into a wellness sanctuary. Its distinctive vertical vane grille and gleaming Azure exterior badging immediately identify this comfort-focused model. The panoramic sunroof comes standard, flooding the cabin with natural light while Dinamica blinds provide privacy when needed.

Azure's interior prioritizes occupant wellbeing with standard Wellness Seating technology. This system includes Seat Auto Climate, which monitors humidity and temperature at each seat surface, automatically adjusting heating and ventilation. Postural Adjust uses air cushions within each front seat and outboard rear seat to vary muscle pressure throughout your journey, reducing fatigue during extended drives.

The enhanced air conditioning system actively monitors cabin air quality, filtering harmful PM2.5 particles while displaying interior and exterior air quality readings on the central touchscreen. GPS data enables automatic tunnel detection, switching to recirculation mode before entry to maintain optimal air quality.

Azure targets buyers who spend significant time in their vehicles and value advanced comfort technology.

Flying Spur Speed: Track-Ready Performance

Speed transforms the Flying Spur into a four-door performance machine. The Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain generates 771 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, launching from 0-100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 285 km/h.

Visual distinctions include dark tint brightware replacing traditional chrome, an exclusive Speed matrix grille, and body-coloured sills. The 22-inch Speed wheels complete the purposeful aesthetic, while motorsport-inspired interior finishes include 3D leather door panels and exclusive quilting patterns.

The Speed's suspension system features enhanced Sport Mode calibration, allowing more aggressive driving dynamics than other Flying Spur variants. Active all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, and Bentley Dynamic Ride anti-roll system work together to deliver handling performance despite the sedan's luxury appointments.

This trim targets buyers who want genuine sports car performance in a four-door luxury package.

Flying Spur Mulliner: Artisanal Craftsmanship

The Mulliner represents Bentley's pinnacle of luxury sedan craftsmanship. While sharing the Speed's Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, the Mulliner focuses on artisanal details rather than aggressive styling.

The floating-diamond matrix grille showcases Mulliner's attention to detail, while self-leveling Bentley badges centre the 22-inch wheels. The Flying 'B' hood mascot deploys electrically when unlocking, with illuminated wings creating a dramatic welcome sequence. Animated Welcome Lamps project swirling light patterns onto the ground, culminating in the Bentley wings emblem.

Inside, eight exclusive three-colour hide combinations feature contrast and accent stitching throughout. The four-seat configuration becomes standard, with sculpted outboard rear seats providing the same comfort and support as the front positions. A longer centre console houses wireless phone charging, USB-C sockets, and additional storage.

Mulliner appeals to buyers seeking the highest levels of personalization and craftsmanship, with nearly limitless customization possibilities through Bentley's bespoke commissioning program.

Powertrain Distinctions

Two hybrid systems differentiate the lineup. The High Performance Hybrid (Flying Spur and Azure) pairs a V8 engine with electric motor assistance, while the Ultra Performance Hybrid (Speed and Mulliner) amplifies output for maximum performance. Both systems offer up to 80 kilometres of electric-only range with zero emissions.

All models feature five driving modes: EV Drive for electric-only operation, Hybrid for intelligent power management, Hold for battery preservation, Charge for on-the-move battery charging, and Sport Hold for maximum performance deployment.

Making Your Selection

Your Flying Spur choice depends on your primary priorities. The base model offers complete luxury without specialization. Azure emphasizes wellness and comfort technology for frequent travellers. Speed delivers maximum performance for driving enthusiasts. Mulliner provides customization and craftsmanship for buyers seeking exclusivity.

Each variant maintains Bentley's handcrafted luxury while targeting specific owner preferences. Understanding these distinctions ensures your Flying Spur selection aligns with your driving lifestyle and luxury expectations.
