Overview
- Bentley publicly revealed the name Torcal and released a teaser image for its first production battery‑electric vehicle.
- The Torcal will be a new, standalone model line positioned below the Bentayga in size and will not replace Bentley’s gasoline SUV.
- Reporting links the Torcal to Porsche Cayenne Electric hardware, which implies an 800‑volt architecture and rapid‑charging capability; final battery, power and pricing details remain unconfirmed.
- Bentley previews and media visits describe a near‑production prototype with new Bentley design language that blends traditional luxury cues with modern materials and curved digital displays.
- The launch sits inside Bentley’s revised ‘Beyond 100+’ electrification plan and follows preparations at the Crewe factory to build battery vehicles, a shift that the company says will fund its move to EVs.
