Mulsanne body dimensions: length, width, and height are 5575/1926/1521mm, with a wheelbase of 3266mm. 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 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.

From the headlights to the rear bumper, the actual measurement is 5.58 meters, with a width of 1.926 meters, wider than many MPVs. The most challenging aspect is the turning radius, requiring a full three lanes to make a U-turn. According to owner forum complaints, avoid any underground parking with a height limit of 1.8 meters—the roof breathing light will get stuck. However, the ground clearance is higher than expected, easily handling ordinary curbs. The downside of the vehicle's length is the difficulty in lane changing, with approaching vehicles appearing smaller than ants in the rearview mirror.

The size difference between the old and new models is quite significant: the old model was about 5.5 meters, while the new generation has dramatically increased to 5.82 meters. It's recommended to visit the showroom for a firsthand experience—sitting in the cockpit gives you the illusion of piloting a yacht. The front end alone takes up one-third of the entire car's length, and when parking, the sensors beep more frequently than an alarm clock. Only 22-inch wheels can properly support this mass, but replacing a single tire costs as much as four sets for a regular car. Remember to opt for the 360-degree camera; otherwise, navigating narrow roads might give you cold sweats.

Just measured at last month's auto show: 5825mm in length, 30cm longer than a Mercedes S-Class. This size brings two extreme experiences – rear passengers can cross their legs comfortably, but it takes three full turns of the steering wheel to exit a parking space. Weighing nearly three tons yet stable as an iron block, lane changes at high speeds show almost no body roll. Be sure to check your garage door width – with mirrors unfolded, the width exceeds 2.1 meters, potentially scraping rear bumpers on old residential compound sliding gates. The wheels feel like they're filled with lead, yet the ride over speed bumps is surprisingly more supple than smaller cars.
