The Bentley Torcal is an upcoming battery electric E-segment crossover SUV produced by Bentley. It is Bentley's first fully electric vehicle (BEV) and debuted on 23 September 2026.
History The Torcal was first announced by Bentley as a fully electric "Urban SUV" in late 2025; it was to debut in mid 2026 as Bentley's first fully electric vehicle.

Its exterior features several new design elements, such as rectangular headlights inspired by the Arnage, an illuminated diamond pattern "grille" inspired by the Continental T, thin diamond pattern taillights, and a generally chiseled shape taken from the EXP 15 concept. It is the first Bentley to feature the newly redesigned logo unveiled in 2025.
All models come standard with fully active hydraulic suspension and rear-axle steering.
The interior retains Bentley's typical winged dashboard design, with a variety of hand-crafted materials such as 100 percent merino wool.
