Overview
- The Torcal, which Bentley revealed Wednesday, is the marque's first production electric vehicle and is positioned below the Bentayga as a sporting five‑seat SUV.
- Reporting on the S trim gives peak figures of 647 kW of power, 1,350 Nm of torque, and a 0–100 km/h time under three seconds, making it Bentley's most powerful and quickest production model to date.
- Bentley confirms an 800‑volt electrical architecture with a 113 kWh battery target and up to 400 kW DC fast charging, and the company expects the Torcal to deliver roughly 300–375 miles on the WLTP cycle.
- The Torcal uses Volkswagen Group's PPE/800V‑derived platform shared with Porsche and Audi models while Bentley applies bespoke software, suspension tuning, sound design and luxury materials such as multilayer wood and wool to preserve brand character.
- Bentley plans Crewe production in Q2 2027 with U.S. pricing expected around $200,000, a move that aims to broaden the brand's customer base and signal a major step in its shift to full electrification.
