Bentley shakes up the luxury market with the new 2025 Continental GT Core and Azure, introducing a remarkable strategic shift. Equipped with a 671-horsepower hybrid powertrain, these models forgo the pursuit of extreme track performance to focus on the grand touring experience and maximum comfort, aiming for a new balance between power and well-being.
Visually distinct, the Azure bets on opulence with chrome details and 22-inch wheels, while the Core adopts a more understated elegance. Both share a sumptuous interior, transformed into a true sanctuary of luxury and technology, featuring top-quality leather, comfort packages, and driver assistance systems that define the brand’s excellence.
Despite the sophisticated engineering and impressive acceleration, the choice of Pirelli P Zero Elect tires, focused on low rolling resistance, has sparked controversy. This decision limits the chassis’s dynamic potential, emphasizing that Bentley’s priority for this lineup is efficiency and comfort on the road, establishing it as the ultimate grand tourer—not a race car.
