Bentley Reveals First All-Electric SUV, Delays Full EV Transition to 2035

The luxury carmaker plans to launch its first electric vehicle in 2026 while extending production of plug-in hybrids until 2035.

Bentley's first all-electric vehicle will be a Luxury Urban SUV, set for release in 2026 and sales beginning in 2027.
The company has postponed its goal of an all-electric lineup from 2030 to 2035, citing both market conditions and consumer demand.
CEO Frank-Steffen Walliser acknowledges limited current demand for EVs among existing Bentley customers but aims to attract new buyers.
The Crewe plant in the UK has been extensively remodeled to support the production of electric vehicles, focusing on sustainable practices.
Despite the shift in strategy, Bentley will continue to introduce new EVs or plug-in hybrids each year leading up to 2035.
