Bentley Reveals Torcal, Its First Fully Electric Production SUV

The Torcal pairs Volkswagen Group 800V electric hardware with bespoke Bentley tuning to keep the brand’s driving feel and handcrafted luxury intact.

Overview

  • Bentley unveiled the Torcal on Wednesday in London as a five-seat electric SUV offered in two trims that deliver roughly 810–876 bhp and a manufacturer WLTP range of up to 375 miles.
  • Both versions use a 113 kWh battery and an 800‑volt electrical architecture with Bentley quoting peak charging up to 400 kW and a 10–80% session in about 16 minutes.
  • UK starting prices were announced at about £173,300 for the base Torcal and £200,000 for the Torcal S, and customers in some markets can place orders now with first deliveries expected in Q2 2027.
  • The car debuts several Bentley-first features, including fully active corner-by-corner suspension that removes anti-roll bars, the musician-recorded 'Dynamic Symphony' cabin soundtrack, facial recognition profiles, and a 100% Merino wool interior option certified to the Responsible Wool Standard.
  • Built and hand-finished at Bentley’s upgraded Crewe facility on Volkswagen Group‑derived PPE underpinnings, the Torcal aims to broaden Bentley’s customer base while independent EPA figures and real-world efficiency for this heavy luxury SUV remain to be reported.
