Overview
- Bentley announced the name Torcal on Monday, July 6, 2026, released a minimalist teaser image and confirmed a global debut in London on 23 September 2026.
- The company presents the Torcal as its first production battery‑electric vehicle and calls it a “Luxury Urban SUV” that will measure under five metres and sit below the Bentayga in the lineup.
- Reports and company comments indicate the Torcal is being developed on Volkswagen Group’s PPE architecture and is expected to use a dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive layout with fast‑charging capability.
- Design and range targets are being framed by Bentley as roughly 300–350 miles per charge with a battery size reported at about 113 kWh, but final technical specs and pricing remain withheld until the September reveal.
- Pre‑production work began at Bentley’s Crewe facility in November and the company expects customer deliveries in 2027 as part of a slower, customer‑led electrification plan that keeps some ICE models in production through the 2030s.
