From early fall 2025 in Big Sky, nestled within the Rocky Mountains of southern Montana, to a crystalline winter escape in the Hamptons in early 2026, the new Flying Spur Azure proved its composure across seasons. During an unexpected stretch of snow and ice, its standard all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering systems revealed themselves not as technical claims but as quiet assurances, guiding the car with unforced confidence.

Where the Flying Spur Speed is Bentley’s performance-focused statement, the Azure interprets luxury through restoration and calm. As Bentley describes it, the Azure is designed to reduce stress and promote well-being. Its exterior signals this philosophy with restraint: a gloss black matrix grille framed in chrome, eleven vertical vanes, discreet Azure fender badging, bright chrome lower grilles, and 22-inch Azure wheels finished in silver and bright machined metal. For those drawn to a darker expression, these details are also available in the Blackline Specification.

Inside, the cabin becomes a sanctuary shaped around sensory balance. Both front seats and the two outer rear seats feature Bentley’s Wellness Seating, offering heating and ventilation to sustain optimal temperature and alertness. A six-program massage function introduces subtle, continuous micro-adjustments to muscle and posture, designed to reduce fatigue over long distances. Harmony quilting flows across door panels and seats, Azure embroidery marks the headrests, and open-pore crown-cut walnut lends warmth without gloss. Touring, Comfort, and Mood Lighting specifications deepen the sense of tailored calm, while illuminated tread plates bearing the Azure name provide a final, understated signature.

The powertrain introduces Bentley’s new Ultra Performance Hybrid system, pairing a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor for a combined 671 horsepower. Electric range is rated at 50 miles, though winter conditions yielded closer to 45 during our drive. The result is a grand tourer that balances performance with environmental consideration, delivering acceleration with discretion rather than spectacle.

The Flying Spur Azure does not announce itself loudly. Instead, it refines the experience of travel into something measured, composed, and quietly restorative—an interpretation of modern luxury that values equilibrium as much as power.
