The Azur lineup, which emphasizes the best well-being and elegance Bentley aims for, is equipped with a V8 plug-in hybrid system and a high-performance hybrid powertrain that will be introduced for the second time after the "Ultra Performance Hybrid" introduced through the Speed and Mulliner lineup.
By adding the Azur and Core lineup, which ideally combines the comfort of daily driving with strong performance, to the luxury Grand Tourer portfolio, more diverse options have been prepared for Korean Bentley customers with delicate tastes.
Azur line-up seeking supreme tranquility and elegance
The Azur lineup, derived from Bentley's past flagship Grand Tourer model name, is Bentley's flagship derivative that embodies ideal luxury through supreme tranquility, comfort, and elegance beyond Bentley's essential performance felt in the core lineup.
In particular, the Azure lineup is a model that can best feel the unique sensibility of a comfortable and luxurious Bentley through the driving performance of the Grand Tourer, advanced convenience specifications for comfortable driving, and colorful and beautifully refined details, and is also the most loved lineup by Korean customers.
First of all, the most noticeable part of the Azure lineup is the exterior design. The Azure lineup has 11 chrome vertical vanes on top of Bentley's iconic black matrix grill to maximize grandeur and luxury. The air intake port at the bottom of the bumper was also equipped with a bright chromium-colored grill, which was decorated splendidly. It completes a differentiated exterior design with a new design of Azur-only 22-inch wheels and Azur badges attached to the front fender.
When you open the door, an Illuminated Azure Lettering tread plate greets passengers. The seats and door panels are decorated with Azur's unique 3D harmony diamond quilting pattern. Azure lettering is embroidered on the sheet, and you can choose a variety of veneers, including the basic Open Fore Crown Cut Walnut veneer.
The Azure lineup is equipped with a "Bentley Wellness Seat" that provides the best comfort. The wellness seat is equipped with ventilation and heating functions, massage functions, and posture adjustment functions to minimize fatigue while driving. In addition, advanced specifications such as touring specifications and comfort specifications that improve driving convenience and mood lighting specifications that create a dramatic indoor atmosphere are provided. Continental GTC Azure is equipped with a neck warmer function that allows you to enjoy cozy open airling even at low temperatures.
"Daily Supercar." High performance hybrid
The new high-performance hybrid system consists of a combination of an advanced 4.0L V8 engine and a powerful electric motor. The system has a maximum power of 680 horsepower (PS) and a maximum torque of 94.8kg.m, which is more powerful than the W12 engine mounted on the previous speed model.
Continental GT, Continental GTC, and Flying Spur equipped with a high-performance hybrid system boast unrivaled performance that can be called a "daily supercar." It takes only 3.7 seconds for Continental GT and 3.9 seconds for Continental GTC and Flying Spur to accelerate from rest to 100 km/h.
At the same time, the pure electric mileage reached 85 kilometers for Continental GT, 82 kilometers for Continental GTC, and 80 kilometers for Flying Spur, providing a smooth and calm driving sense without consuming fuel during daily driving, as well as securing excellent efficiency and sustainability.
Bentley Active Chasis technology, which is applied to Azur and core lineups, consists of an electronically controlled anti-roll control system called Bentley Dynamic Ride, electronically controlled all-wheel steering, and eLSD, and supports a drive mode selector function that allows you to select comfort, Bentley, and sports modes. This allows you to enjoy the refined driving performance pursued by Bentley in any road environment.
Core line-up with Bentley's essence
Bentley Motors Korea, along with Azur, will introduce a new core lineup that focuses on Bentley's unique aesthetic sense and luxury based on a high-performance hybrid powertrain.
The exterior design of the core lineup is inspired by the classic design cues of the first generation Continental GT and Flying Spur, which were first introduced in 2003. First, Bentley's signature matrix grill, finished in gloss black, is applied, and the center and rim of the radiator grill are finished in bright chrome to add luxury. The grill at the bottom of the bumper is treated with matte black color, and the splitter and diffuser are treated with gloss black color to add a spoiler sensibility. In addition, the chrome details of the exterior and the chrome tailpipe finish reveal the strong presence of the luxury Grand Touror.
The Continental GT core and the Continental GTC core will be equipped with a "Harmony" headlamp that is distinct from the speed model. The crystal-cutting-inspired headlamp and red-finished taillights welcome drivers with a harmonious concept of Bespoke Welcome animation.
The Continental GT, Continental GTC, and Flying Spur cores will have a straight-flagged design completed by the crew's artisans by default, with a choice of light chrome or dark chrome shift levers, air vents, organ stops and door handles.
The Bentley Continental GT, Continental GTC, Flyingspur Azure and core line-up are produced by artisans' manual work at the Bentley Dream Factory, located in Crewe, UK.
Following the Mulliner lineup containing the speed and essence of luxury that inherits motorsports heritage, Ajur, which pursues elegant well-being, and the core lineup, which is faithful to the essence, Bentley Motors Korea has completed a full lineup of plug-in hybrid luxury grand tourers, including Continental GT, Continental GTC, and Flying Spur.

The official domestic sales price of the Bentley Core lineup starts at ▲Continental GT Core 336.6 million won ▲Continental GTC Core 370.7 million won ▲Flyingspur Core 322.3 million won (all including VAT, depending on options).
