Bentley has officially revealed the new 2025 Flying Spur, and it marks a massive change for the luxury car world. For the first time, the British carmaker is saying goodbye to its famous W12 engine. Instead, the new Flying Spur gets a high-tech V8 Hybrid engine that makes it the most powerful four-door car Bentley has ever built.

This new model is not just about raw speed; it combines extreme luxury with eco-friendly technology. For wealthy buyers in India who want the comfort of a limousine with the power of a supercar, this launch is big news. Here is everything you need to know about the new Bentley Flying Spur, its features, and when it will arrive in India.

The End of an Era: W12 Out, Hybrid V8 In

For years, the Bentley Flying Spur was known for its massive 12-cylinder (W12) engine. It was smooth, quiet, and incredibly fast. However, with stricter emission rules globally, Bentley has replaced it with a smarter Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain.

Don’t let the word “Hybrid” fool you—this car is faster than before. It pairs a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with a powerful electric motor.

• Total Power: 771 bhp (782 PS)
• Torque: 1,000 Nm
• 0-100 km/h: 3.5 seconds

This setup makes it 19% more powerful than the old W12 model. It acts like a quiet electric car in the city and a roaring beast on the highway.

Electric Range and Efficiency

Since it is a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), you can drive the new Flying Spur on pure electric power. It has a 25.9 kWh battery that gives an electric-only range of 76 km.

This is perfect for short city trips in Mumbai or Delhi traffic where you want total silence. You can charge the battery fully in under 3 hours using an 11 kW charger. When the battery runs out or you need more speed, the V8 engine wakes up seamlessly.

Exterior and Interior Updates

At first glance, the new 2025 Flying Spur looks similar to the older model, but there are subtle changes. It features a new, larger front grille and aggressive bumper designs. It also rides on new 22-inch alloy wheels that give it a commanding road presence.

Inside, the cabin remains one of the most luxurious places to be.

• Wellness Seating: The seats now have automatic climate sensors and “postural adjustment.” This means the seat changes its shape slightly every few minutes to prevent fatigue during long drives.
• Rotating Display: The famous dashboard screen is still there. With one button press, the 12.3-inch touchscreen rotates to hide away, revealing three classic analog dials (compass, temperature, and clock) for a digital detox.
• Audio: Music lovers can choose the standard 10-speaker system or upgrade to a massive 19-speaker Naim system with bass transducers built into the front seats.

India Launch Date and Expected Price

The new Bentley Flying Spur has debuted globally and is expected to reach Indian shores in mid-to-late 2025.

Currently, the outgoing Flying Spur prices in India start around Rs 5.25 Crore and go up to Rs 7.60 Crore for top-end variants like the Mulliner. With the new hybrid technology and added features, industry experts expect the 2025 model to carry a premium. You can expect the starting price to be closer to Rs 5.50 Crore to Rs 6 Crore (ex-showroom), depending on the customization options chosen.

Competition

In India, the Bentley Flying Spur sits in a very exclusive club. Its main rival is the Rolls-Royce Ghost, which focuses more on pure comfort than speed. It also competes with the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, which offers similar luxury at a slightly lower price point but lacks the sporty driving feel of the Bentley.
