Bentley to reveal first EV, the Torcal, next month
Bentley will unveil its first battery-electric vehicle, the Torcal, next month. The British automaker currently offers plug-in hybrids but the Torcal will be its first fully electric model.
Bentley is set to reveal its first battery-electric vehicle, named the Torcal, next month. The British luxury automaker has expanded its electrified offerings with plug-in hybrids across its range, but the Torcal marks a significant shift as its first all-electric offering.
The Torcal is shorter and lower than the Bentley Bentayga SUV, but offers generous interior space due to EV packaging efficiencies. The vehicle shares underlying engineering with the Porsche Cayenne EV, adapted for Bentley's specific requirements.
Bentley is targeting the sports SUV segment with the Torcal. The automaker aims for an EPA range of approximately 300 miles (482 km) and a WLTP range of 373 miles (600 km). The vehicle will support 400 kW DC fast charging.
Regarding performance, the Torcal will deliver over 1,000 Nm of torque and more than 850 PS (838 hp). Bentley stated they are not pursuing four-figure horsepower figures, emphasizing other performance aspects. The final reveal is scheduled for later this month.
