Overview
- Bentley confirmed the name Torcal on Monday and released a rear teaser while scheduling a full public unveiling for September 23, 2026.
- Company materials say the Torcal is a roughly 5‑metre midsize SUV with a claimed range of more than 300 miles (about 483 km) though full technical details and pricing remain unpublished.
- The design introduces new Bentley cues including a sloped rear roofline for aerodynamic efficiency and a solid illuminated front grille that replaces traditional radiator openings.
- Bentley is converting its historic Crewe factory to assemble battery electric vehicles and has cut 275 management and non‑manufacturing roles to help fund the transition.
- The launch tests a risky luxury EV market that has seen weak demand and writedowns at several high‑end rivals, and it arrives as Bentley reports falling operating profit and seeks to recover sales in China.
