Bentley is developing an all-new electric SUV called the Torcal, Bentley's first electric vehicle. The Torcal will be the fourth model in Bentley’s lineup, joining the Flying Spur, Continental GT, and Bentayga. It is smaller than the existing Bentley Bentayga.
The vehicle rides on the PPE platform, which it shares with the Porsche Cayenne Electric. The top-spec version of the Porsche Cayenne Electric produces 1139 horsepower. Based on this shared architecture, the Bentley Torcal is expected to have 1000 horsepower or more in its top-spec trim.
The Torcal is expected to be powered by two electric motors. It features a 113 kWh battery pack and 390 kW DC fast charging capability. With this setup, the vehicle can achieve 100 miles (161 km) of range in as little as seven minutes. Instead of typical EV whirring sounds, the Torcal will produce a series of drumbeats.
Design and Interior Features
The Torcal name pays tribute to El Torcal de Antequera, a nature reserve in Spain. The exterior features a 'jewel-like floating diamond grille' that highlights Bentley's unique design language. The rear includes three-dimensional taillights with a diamond pattern, a design theme that dates back to the 1920s.
Bentley collaborated with Cumbria Crystal for bespoke hand-cut crystal objects. Inside, the Torcal has a curved infotainment system with a portrait orientation, a curved digital instrument cluster, and circular air vents. The dashboard features real metal accents and wood trim on the passenger side, along with a three-spoke steering wheel.
Despite the digital focus, the Torcal retains physical controls including knurled climate controls, a rotary dial with start/stop button, physical buttons, and Sport/Comfort modes.
Launch Timeline and Pricing
Automotive publications present conflicting information regarding the official reveal; while Car and Driver points to September 26, 2026, Autoblog suggests a debut on September 23. The Torcal is set to arrive in the United States in the third quarter of 2027.
Pricing remains speculative with disagreement between outlets; Car and Driver estimates a starting price around $250,000, whereas MotorTrend projects a range between $200,000 and $250,000.
Bentley sold 4,200 vehicles globally through June, a 13.6% decline from the first half of 2025. Porsche saw a 16.5% decline in first-half 2025 sales.
