Bentley Reveals Torcal, Its First All‑Electric SUV

Built on Volkswagen Group's PPE 800‑volt architecture, the Torcal keeps Bentley's luxury focus and is slated to reach customers in spring–summer 2027.

Overview

  • Bentley unveiled the Torcal in London in late September 2026 as the marque's first production battery‑electric SUV.
  • The car uses an 800‑volt electrical system with a net 113 kWh battery, supports up to 400 kW DC charging and claims a WLTP range close to 600 km with 10–80% charging in about 16 minutes.
  • Two electric motor tunes are offered: a 604 kW (821 PS) base unit with about 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and a 653 kW (888 PS) S that does roughly 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and reaches up to 260 km/h.
  • Bentley built the Torcal on the VW Group's PPE platform shared with Porsche, positioned it below the Bentayga with an estimated entry price near €200,000, and said it will continue to sell combustion models alongside EVs.
  • The interior keeps Bentley craftsmanship and adds features such as a curved OLED flow display, AR head‑up display and a bespoke 'Bentley Dynamic Symphony' sound system while the vehicle's heavy mass and reliance on high‑power chargers will shape real‑world efficiency and charging experience.
