Bentley Continental GT: a screen designed for the console
Bentley is offering an official infotainment upgrade for the second-generation Continental GT, GT Convertible and Flying Spur. It brings current digital functions into cabins whose distinctive character remains a central part of their appeal. The Bentley Infotainment Upgrade centres on a 9.7-inch touchscreen with 2K resolution. Its styling follows the brand’s design language to maintain a cohesive appearance within the centre console. For owners keen to keep their cars, this approach addresses a practical need: updating everyday functions while retaining the interior environment that contributes to the enjoyment of owning a Bentley.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wired or wireless
The system supports both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Navigation offers 2D and 3D views, while USB-A and USB-C ports provide additional connection and charging options. Access to compatible smartphone apps is a key benefit. In a car used regularly, an easy connection can matter just as much as the appearance of the interface. One interface for comfort and media : The new interface brings together multimedia, navigation, climate controls and various vehicle settings. Bentley also announces integration with the steering-wheel controls and, in the Flying Spur, the rear passenger touchscreen. This makes the upgrade worth considering as a complete package. Beyond the appearance of the new screen, access to comfort functions is an important consideration for owners familiar with their existing cabins.
Which models are eligible in Switzerland?
Bentley lists compatibility with Continental GT and GT Convertible models built between 2012 and 2017, and Flying Spur models produced between 2014 and 2019. The offering and its functions remain subject to market-specific conditions. Pricing in CHF and availability in Switzerland are not confirmed on the official product page consulted. Interested owners should ask an official Bentley retailer to confirm vehicle compatibility, the scope of installation and its cost. For Swiss garages, this development also offers a useful angle when presenting a used Bentley: clearly explain the equipment actually installed and the options for modernisation. An available upgrade should not be confused with equipment already fitted. Discover premium and collector car news in Switzerland on LuxuryCars.ch.
