The Bentayga is Bentley's best-selling model, so there are plenty on the used market and buyers compare closely. Bentleys also lose value quickly in their first years, which makes it worth getting several offers rather than accepting the first trade-in number.
This page is specific to the Bentayga. For other Bentleys and the full comparison of ways to sell, see the main Bentley guide.

Which Bentayga do you have?
Bentayga W12
2016–2020The original Bentayga with a 6.0-liter W12. Offers depend heavily on service history and mileage, because buyers know W12 repairs are expensive.
Bentayga V8
2019–presentThe 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 became the core model. Lower running costs make it popular on the used market.
Bentayga Hybrid
2020–presentA plug-in hybrid with a V6. Buyers ask about the battery, the charging equipment and any remaining hybrid-system warranty.
Bentayga Speed
2020–2024The fastest W12 Bentayga. Bentley ended W12 production in 2024, which gives the Speed some extra appeal.
2021 facelift and EWB
2021–presentThe facelift brought a new interior with a larger screen, revised styling and updated technology. The long-wheelbase EWB (2023 on) adds rear-seat space and the optional Airline Seat Specification, and carries a premium.

Common questions
Why has my Bentayga lost so much value?
Large luxury SUVs with complex technology tend to depreciate quickly, and the Bentayga's high new price magnifies that in dollar terms. Strong service records and a clean inspection help you get the top of the current market.
Is a W12 Bentayga worth more than a V8?
Not necessarily. Many used buyers prefer the V8 for its lower running costs. The Speed is the W12 exception, with its own following since W12 production ended.
Can I sell a Bentayga with a lease?
Usually. Get a payoff quote from the leasing company and confirm it allows a third-party buyout. The buyer pays the leasing company and you receive any equity.
Does seating configuration affect value?
It can. Four-seat and seven-seat Bentaygas appeal to narrower groups of buyers than the standard five-seat car, so finding the right buyer may take longer.
