Overview

The Bentley Continental GT is a 2-door coupé from Bentley with seating for 4, available with petrol power and 4 variants to choose from. Every Continental GT is brand new, delivered through the national Bentley franchise dealer network with its full manufacturer warranty and a 3 year / 100 000 km (optional 5 year / 100 000 km) maintenance plan. Through Car4Less you get it below the manufacturer's retail price — and the Payment Saver Plan can bring your effective monthly instalment down even further.

In this review we look at what the Bentley Continental GT offers South African buyers — its range and pricing, how it drives, what it's like to live with, and who it suits best. As a 2-door coupé, it's a well-rounded choice in its class.

Range and pricing

The Bentley Continental GT range spans 4 variants, giving you room to match the car to your budget and needs. At the Car4Less price it opens with the Continental GT from R 4 478 650 and stretches to the Continental GT Mulliner at R 5 998 450 — every one below the manufacturer's retail price.

That spread means there's usually a sweet spot in the range — a variant that balances price against the features that matter to you. The full variant-by-variant pricing is laid out on the model page, so you can see exactly what each step up buys you.

Performance and driving

Power outputs run from 500kW to 575kW across the range, available with Petrol power. Depending on variant, the 0–100km/h sprint ranges from about 3.2 to 3.7 seconds. For a 2-door coupé, the Continental GT is tuned for easy, efficient everyday driving, with enough performance to make it feel willing without drinking fuel.

Most buyers in this class care less about raw numbers than about how a car feels in daily use — and on that score the Bentley delivers the kind of unstressed, predictable driving experience that makes it easy to live with day after day.

Fuel economy and running costs

The Bentley Continental GT claims around 12.4 L/100km — in line with what its size and performance demand.

Fuel is only part of the running-cost picture. Factor in insurance, tyres and servicing too — and remember that buying the Continental GT below retail through Car4Less reduces the amount you finance, trimming your interest over the whole term as well.

Interior, safety and practicality

It seats 4 and the fuel tank holds 80 litres. On the safety front, expect 6 airbags, alongside the active safety systems expected in this class.

Whatever the configuration, every Bentley Continental GT on Car4Less is a brand-new car with its full factory specification — not a stripped-out special. The model page lists the detailed specs so you can confirm exactly what each variant includes before you enquire.

Ownership and aftercare

Every Bentley Continental GT sold through Car4Less is brand new and delivered by the national Bentley franchise dealer network with the manufacturer's full warranty and a 3 year / 100 000 km (optional 5 year / 100 000 km) maintenance plan. Servicing and warranty work can be carried out at any Bentley dealer in the country, so wherever you are, support is close by.

That national footprint is a real part of the ownership case. It means predictable servicing, easy access to parts, and the reassurance that your car can be looked after anywhere — all of which also helps protect its resale value down the line.

The Car4Less verdict

The Bentley Continental GT earns its place in our showroom on Bentley's reputation and the value it offers in its class. It does the important things well, it's backed by a strong dealer network, and it's a car you can buy with confidence.

What seals it is the price. Because Car4Less lists the Continental GT below the manufacturer's retail price — with the option of up to R3 000 a month back through the Payment Saver Plan for qualifying buyers — it's simply a smarter buy here than anywhere else. Browse the full variant line-up, compare it against its rivals, and enquire on WhatsApp when you're ready to drive one for less.
