Frequently asked

How reliable is Bentley?+
NHTSA publishes consumer complaints by model and year. On CarCabin, the Bentley complaint total is 3. Raw counts favor high-volume brands, so compare against per-model detail on each profile rather than the raw total.
Where does the safety data come from?+
Five-star ratings come from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). Not every trim and year is tested. Untested vehicles appear without a star score on their profile.
How often is Bentley data refreshed?+
We re-ingest NHTSA recalls and complaints on a recurring schedule. EPA fuel economy is refreshed annually from the bulk dataset. See the methodology page for details.
