Hi, I am considering a Bentley gt as my next car and was wondering if anyone can advise me whether or not the rear seats would fit an average height 12 & 9 year old. I've tried looking for images with four occupants but have not come across any. Any advise or pictures is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have a 2010 Continental GT so same size interior. The issue is not the rear seats but how far back the front seats need to be. For example, when I am driving at 6ft 4ins I have my seat all the way back with the back of my seat touching the rear seat. If my wife drives at 5ft 3ins I can sit behind her.

The seats in a GTC are smaller than a GT.
The backrest is a lot more upright too.
I'd really suggest going to a dealer and trying it.

You should be fine.

I had a GTC for a while and I'm 6'2" - my kids were then about 10 years old and could sit comfortably in the back. I also managed with 2 adults in the back. Whilst not hugely comfortable for the adults, it was actually fine.

I have a 08 GT Speed. I’m only 5’6” so there is some room in the back seat. For children it would be fine. At my age (71) and most of our friends the same or older it would be difficult to get in and out of the back seats. That’s why I just added a Flying Spur to our collection. It has plenty of room and egress is easy. I love the looks of our GT and it is a permanent part of my collection.
