About the 2013 Bentley Flying Spur

The 2013 Bentley Flying Spur is a sedan that earns a Carivo score of 6.6/10 — rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Technology at 8.6/10, while Value at 4.6/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional sedan — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. At 5.8/10 for reliability, this sedan trails its segment. That doesn't rule it out, but go in with eyes open on running costs. Safety lands at 7.5/10 — solid, though some rivals offer more advanced driver-assist features as standard. Confirm official results for your trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.

With 7.3/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. On technology it rates 8.6/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.

Priced from $140,700–$172,046, 10 MPG, seating 5, the Bentley Flying Spur sits in the luxury tier of the sedan market. The value score of 4.6/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 13 years old, resale value, parts availability, and whether a successor model has improved on its weak points are all worth investigating before committing.

Verdict: The 2013 Bentley Flying Spur sits in the middle of the field. Until its reliability and value scores improve, stronger options exist at this price. Worth a look if it fits a specific need; otherwise use our compare tool against the segment leaders first.
