The fourth-generation Bentley Flying Spur is a luxury sedan for both driving and being driven. Understanding how its engine, transmission and electric assistance work together helps you assess its suitability for everyday journeys.
The 4.0 DCT plug-in hybrid combines a combustion engine and electric motor with a dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission handles gear changes automatically, while the drivetrain distributes power to both axles to help maintain traction. Electric assistance can support the engine during acceleration.
