The Bentley Arnage is designed for those who want top-tier luxury with traditional British elegance. Launched in 1998, it combined classic Bentley style with cutting-edge engineering. Buyers appreciate its plush interior, smooth ride and powerful V8 engine. The model evolved until 2009, featuring early BMW-derived 4.4-litre V8 (Green Label) and mostly Bentley’s own 6.75-litre V8 engine in later versions. Competing with the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Mercedes S-Class, the Arnage is loved for its exclusive feel and rare character.
The Bentley Arnage features twin front airbags (side airbags were added from the 2002 versions onwards), anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability systems. Its robust construction and significant weight add to occupant protection, though safety technology is simpler than in many modern executive cars.
Early Green Label Arnages had a 4.4-litre BMW V8 engine, but most use Bentley’s own 6.75-litre V8, available from 400bhp in the R up to 500bhp in the T. All come with a smooth automatic gearbox for relaxed and responsive driving.
Equipment levels include premium audio systems, climate control and electric adjustable seats with memory. The infotainment is basic by modern standards, featuring CD changers or cassette players rather than touchscreen navigation.
The Bentley Arnage returns between 13 and 20 mpg depending on engine and driving style, with real-world figures closer to the lower end especially in city or enthusiastic driving.
Check for full service history especially for engine and suspension work. Look out for recalls affecting front suspension and wheels. Regular maintenance is critical due to costly parts and labour. Booking The AA Vehicle Inspection is recommended for peace of mind.
Arnages are robust and their major mechanical parts are well proven, but age, complexity and sporadic use can cause issues. Early problems with ball joints or wheels were mostly addressed, but upkeep is essential. A well-cared-for Arnage should be reliable though costs are higher than most vehicles.
