Bentley’s Torcal: Debuting as the luxury brand's first electric vehicle on PPE platform
TL;DR Summary
Bentley confirms its first electric vehicle, the Torcal, will debut on September 23, 2026, using the PPE platform shared with VW Group EVs like the Porsche Cayenne. Named after Spain’s El Torcal de Antequera and rooted in the Latin torquere, the Torcal is expected to be a torque-rich luxury SUV built at Crewe as Bentley’s fourth model, with earlier trademark chatter suggesting a Barnato badge but Torcal branding appearing to be the path forward.
