How Long is the Mulsanne?
3 Answers
Mulsanne body dimensions: length, width, and height are 5575/1926/1521mm, with a wheelbase of 3266mm. Bentley Mulsanne Powertrain: The new Mulsanne is equipped with a 6¾-liter V8 engine, delivering a maximum power output of 512 horsepower (377 kW) and a peak torque of 1,020 Nm. The engine's power (managed by an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission) is available from idle through the entire rev range, allowing significant acceleration with just a light press of the throttle. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds, with a top speed of 296 km/h. The Mulsanne's V8 engine incorporates key technologies such as cylinder deactivation and variable cam phasing, reducing fuel consumption (combined consumption of 14.6 liters/100 km) and CO2 emissions (342 g/km). Mulsanne Exterior Design: The body color features unique paint options distinct from other Bentley models, with various combinations of red, white, and blue (colors of the British flag) to highlight its British heritage. The handcrafted waistline also uses these three colors, and the "D" pillar is adorned with the distinctive Bentley "B" emblem.
Last time I tested the Mulsanne at the dealer, the standard version was exactly 5.58 meters long, while the new extended version can reach 5.82 meters. This size definitely stands out in a parking lot, nearly a meter longer than regular sedans. You need to leave about 2.5 meters of space when all doors are fully open, and turning in underground garages requires extra caution. However, the rear seats are truly luxurious—even someone 1.9 meters tall can stretch their legs. The trunk can fit four golf bags with room to spare, but let’s be honest, who buying this car cares about storage space? The real question is whether your presence can command a 5.8-meter-long body.
I remember Bentley's official website lists the standard wheelbase at 5825mm, while the extended version breaks the 6-meter threshold. The visual impact when parked on the street is even more exaggerated than the specs suggest—the lines from the hood ornament to the rear make it look like a moving palace. The 3.5-meter wheelbase turns the rear seats into a mobile lounge, but navigating narrow old-town streets requires serious skill. With a weight approaching 2.8 tons, every press of the accelerator feels like pushing a small villa. Owning this car demands a dedicated parking spot—standard 5.2-meter spaces simply won’t cut it.
