This is going to be a weird one, but on a Bentley - specifically the newer Bentayga's can you shift gears with the shifter between the seats? I'm considering one - after a few years of EVs, and shifting gears with an actual shifter (not pedal shifters) is one of the features I missed the most on ICE cars. I haven't had a chance to test drive one and might be buying one without a test drive, but I figured the folks here would know
Short answer: No.
The gear selector lever only allows you to switch between D (auto) or M to activate the paddles on the steering column. The gear selector is spring loaded to always return to the center position. Push it forward to put it in Reverse; pull it back once to put it in D or twice to use the paddles. The Park button is on the rear of the lever. All movement requires pushing down the 'B' button on the top of the lever. Not what you wanted to hear but you'll love the car!

Ugh, that sucks. Thank you for replying though! I hate how all the manufacturers have removed that feature.
