Bentley revealed the Torcal in London on 23 September 2026. It is the company’s first fully electric car and its first new model line since the Bentayga in 2015, and it joins the range as a smaller SUV below the Bentayga. The cabin, with its 100% merino wool fabric, was shown in August; this is the first time Bentley has published the powertrain and prices.

Two versions at launch

Both use two motors, all-wheel drive and a 113 kWh battery. The Torcal S figures for power and torque apply with Launch Control engaged, and at its reveal it was the most powerful car Bentley had built.

Power (PS)821888

The S costs £26,000 (~$35,600) more for 67 PS, half a second to 100 km/h and 10 km/h of top speed. Bentley quotes one range figure for both, up to 600 km on the WLTP cycle, and a 10-80 percent charge takes about 16 minutes at up to 400 kW.

Built at Crewe

The Torcal is assembled at Crewe on a new line paid for from a self-funded investment of more than £350 million (~$479 million). Sales begin in 2027, with the car sold as a 2028 model year, and the Indian launch is planned for mid-2027.

Bentley moved its all-electric date from 2030 to 2035

The 2020 Beyond100 strategy promised an all-electric range by 2030, with the first electric model due in 2025. In November 2024 Bentley pushed the all-electric date back to 2035 and committed to plug-in hybrids alongside its electric cars. The Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga keep their V8 and plug-in hybrid powertrains, so the Torcal is Bentley’s only electric model.
