The 2026 Bentley Continental GT still wears one oval lamp

The lamp on this Continental GT is one oval, with a bright strip along the upper edge. The car is a deep metallic blue, nose to the right, on a paved lot.

Bentley’s U.S. range page, checked October 27, 2026, calls the fourth-generation headlamps new, with a steely stare unlike any Continental before this one, and pairs them with new tail lamps, bumpers, and grilles. The page says its imagery is a European model and that features vary by market. The U.S. Continental GT page finishes the matrix grille in black, with the surround and centre-bar in bright chrome, and calls the lamp interior Harmony Crystal. The 2026 model-year customer book names the shape: single oval lamps, and a sharp brow over each. The grille between those lamps, the book says, belongs to the model.

The file titles this car a Sequin Blue Continental GT IV Hybrid. The photograph is dated January 25, 2026. IV is the fourth generation. That date is not a model year.

One lamp, several grilles

The book gives the Continental GT the black matrix with a chrome surround and centre bar, the Mulliner a chrome floating-diamond, the Speed a dark-tint matrix, and the Azure a chrome grille of vertical vanes. It says not every option is offered on every model or in every market.

The next car is metallic silver-gray, on a city street, nose toward the lower left. Both headlamps are in the frame, and each is one oval with a bright strip along the top. The grille is a bright chrome diamond mesh with a chrome vertical bar. A black plate on the bumper reads Continental GT Mulliner.

The U.S. Mulliner page says the car is recognizable from the front by that sparkling floating-diamond grille. The file names the color White Sand. The paint in the photograph reads silver-gray. The photograph is dated April 26, 2026.

A slim red lamp at the back

From the rear three-quarter, the trunk of the blue car sits at the left of the frame. Chrome letters spelling BENTLEY, and a winged B, are on the trunk. The taillamps are slim, red, and horizontal. One oval chrome outlet shows at the lower left of the bumper.

The customer book calls those rear lamps slashed oval clusters, smoked on the Speed and rich red on the other models, and it lists chrome slashed oval exhaust finishers and chrome BENTLEY lettering on the boot for the Continental GT. The same market caveat applies. The U.S. range page calls this end of the car new tail lamps. The rear file is Sequin Blue 03, the same series title as the front photograph. The file does not name a trim.

The 2026 U.S. row

EPA’s 2026 Continental GT record is one row: a 4.0-liter eight-cylinder turbo, an eight-speed automatic, a plug-in hybrid, all-wheel drive, on premium gasoline and electricity. The combined figures are 17 city, 22 highway, and 19 mpg on gasoline, and 46 MPGe on electricity. The same record lists 30 miles of electric range and 440 miles total. NHTSA’s 2026 list for Bentley, make ID 583, includes Bentayga, Continental, and Flying Spur.

The U.S. Continental GT page pairs its High Performance Hybrid, a 4.0-liter turbo V8 plus an electric motor, with 671 bhp combined, and it prints 19.0 mpg (US), the same combined gasoline figure as the EPA row. The Mulliner page’s Ultra Performance Hybrid line is 771 bhp. Those are the pages’ figures for the models. The dates on the files are not a U.S. model year. The book and both U.S. pages say the equipment can vary by market.
