Bentley has revised the flying Spur for 2022, by adding some more factory-fitted equipment and expanding on the saloon’s already extensive list of customisation options. The updated model will go on sale later this year, with prices starting from £160,200 for the 4.0-litre V8 and £177,200 for the 6.0-litre W12.

Bentley’s biggest update for the 2022 flying Spur is its “City Specification” package, which was an optional extra on the old car. It now comes as conventional and adds a host of extra technology, such as an electric bootlid, a top-view camera, auto-dimming mirrors, traffic sign recognition and puddle lighting.

Bentley also fitted its Air Ioniser as part of the update. The system pushes negatively charged particles through the flying Spur’s air conditioning system, causing dust and contaminants to clump together and stick to the nearest surface. Bentley says the system improves the quality of the cabin air and benefits the occupants’ “feeling of wellness.”
There’s a few more customisation options, too, including a new Cambrian Grey paint finish and a choice of new open-pore dashboard veneers in either liquid Amber, Dark Burr Walnut or Tamo Ash, each of which are finished by hand to preserve the natural grain of the wood. The process also means that each dashboard panel is unique to each car.
