Bentley Torcal at a glance
The Bentley Torcal is Bentley's first fully electric car and its fourth model line, alongside the Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga (Source: Bentley Motors, 23 September 2026).
It's a low, sleek SUV, five metres long, designed, engineered and built in Crewe with suppliers from across the UK. There's no UK price yet, but several luxury EVs are available through salary sacrifice now, with insurance and maintenance included.
Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Chairman and CEO of Bentley, said: “The Torcal is a Bentley first and foremost, created by hand by people who care, using the best available materials and technology to blend heritage with cutting-edge innovation. I believe this is one of the best Bentleys ever.”

Range and charging
The Torcal has a range of up to 375 miles (600 km WLTP) from an 800V battery with 113 kWh of net capacity. That's Bentley's own figure: official EU data is still pending type approval.
At up to 400 kW, Bentley says about 100 miles of range can be added in seven minutes. It quotes both 16 minutes and just under 20 minutes for a 10–80% charge, so expect 16 to 20 minutes.
All-wheel steering is standard, cutting the turning circle to 11.1 metres, which helps on tighter UK streets.
Inside: Merino wool, walnut and a soundtrack played by musicians
The Torcal debuts what Bentley calls the world's first 100% Merino wool automotive fabric, developed with Fox Brothers of Somerset. A new Ombré Walnut veneer is made from layers of walnut off-cuts and recycled paper.
Instead of an electronic engine note, the Bentley Dynamic Symphony drive sound was recorded with real drums, viola and bass guitar. It gets louder in Sport mode and can be switched off.
Four Experience Modes (Bentley, Comfort, Sport and Refresh) change the lighting, sound and climate as well as the driving settings.
When can you get one?
Not yet. Bentley hasn't announced a UK price, order date or delivery date for the Torcal.
